Mewtwo’s return to the big screen marks 20 years since the premiere of the very first feature, Pokémon: The First Movie: Mewtwo Strikes Back, which originally opened in Japan on July 18, 1998.
Mewtwo Strikes Back Evolution was recently revealed as the 22nd Pokémon anime film, and it’s set to open in Japan on July 12, 2019.
Kunihiko Yuyama (so, so, so much Pokémon) and Motonori Sakakibara (Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within) are directing, with Takeshi Shudo (Pokémon: The First Movie, Pokémon 3: The Movie) on the script.
