Kamen Rider (2023 Film)

Kamen Rider will be the name of an American action film based on the popular Japanese TV series. And it will be distributed by Paramount Pictures, with co-production with Toei Company Ltd.


 * There won't be Japanese characters played by Japanese actors. Instead, how about American actors playing American characters. This Kamen Rider movie would be appropiate for the American audience.
