Below, a statement from Go Nagai on the film festival appearance:
“My beloved Mazinger Z is making a comeback. 45 years after its birth and 50 years since I started my career as a manga artist, this is truly a year to commemorate. I'm very glad that I'm able to bring Mazinger Z back. After all, it is beloved in different places all over the world. It's my sincere wish to bring this movie to the global audience with gratitude to all the fans who've supported Mazinger Z all over the world through the years. Now, onward to the global stage!'
The film will star Showtaro Morikubo and Ai Kayano. Morikubo will play Mazinger Z pilot Koji Kabuto, while Kayano will play Aphrodite A pilot Sayaka Yumi. The film will be directed by Junji Shimizu and the film is yet to be slated for release, although more information on the film is expected following the premiere of the footage.
