Crunchyroll did not reveal details about Shinkai's new film, including its title.
Shinkai stated on social media in November 2025 he has been working on a "new film" alongside "dependable companions," adding that he could not yet formally announce the work.
Shinkai's Suzume (Suzume no Tojimari) film opened in Japan at #1 in November 2022. The film opened in North America in April 2023. Crunchyroll screened the film in Japanese with English subtitles and with an English dub.
Suzume ranked at #1 on its opening day on many countries' box office charts. It earned US$5,001,705 in its opening weekend in the U.S., and eventually earned over US$10 million in the country. It ended its theatrical run in Japan in May 2023 after earning 14.79 billion yen (about US$105.3 million) at the box office. Box Office Mojo lists the film with a current worldwide gross of US$221,184,739. Crunchyroll is currently streaming the film.
