Toei has chosen a very unique anniversary celebration for the upcoming Kamen Rider: Beyond Generations movie!
A sequence of the film will take place in 1971 featuring the very first Kamen Rider, Takeshi Hongo. Previously this role had been played by legendary actor Hiroshi Fujioka but at 75 he no longer resembles the original character.
The role instead falls to Maito Fujioka– Hiroshi’s own son!
A recent video interview with Maito Fujioka discusses the importance of the role & confirmed that his father remained on set for filming.
Kamen Rider: Beyond Generations will be released on December 17 2021!
the next cinematic adventure will unite the Riders of 1971, 2021... and 2071.
VERY fun! Can't help but feel like we done this same thing 10 years ago... but that was also one of the best movies ever and I can never say no to Takeshi Hongou. bring it on!
It's every 50 years. Neat little party trick, Toei.
I know I might not be in my right mind 50 years from now, but I'd love to see them commit to this bit.
P-bandai stuff inbound
Either they keep to it, or time hijinks will make this 2071 Rider become replaced later on.
I guess this 2071 rider will be named Beyond?
If I ever make it to 2071 I'll be looking back to this film.
If Kamen Rider is still popular in 2071, I really curious to 100th Kamen Rider anniversary...
Anyway, I just realized, the 2071 Kamen Rider design really similar to Kamen Rider Vulcan Rising Hopper
I'm glad we're getting a proper RevicexSaber crossover since the closest we got to be with Saber and Zero-One was a scene in the RiderxSentai crossover.
I'm curious if they'll get Fujioka back for Ichigo, if only in voice form, or if they'll bring back Tetsu Inada.
