While Yamazaki’s role of Josuke is considered the fourth Jojo, the third Jojo, Jotaro Kujo, is being played by live-action Rurouni Kenshin’s Yusuke Iseya.
The film will be directed by Takashi Miike (Crows Zero, Live-action Terraformars) and will be a co-production between Warner Brothers and TOHO.
It aims to cover the entire fourth part, which follows the adventures of Jousuke, with Jotaro acting as his mentor.
The live-action film will be adapting part 4 of the long-running series.
