In the interview, James Gunn shares what his favorite Kamen Rider is, the inspirations he has taken from Kamen Rider, Ultraman, and Kaiju movies as a whole, and whether or not he feels Kamen Rider could be a success in America (spoiler: he says yes!).

Toei has concluded their annual Kamen Rider press conference, introducing the world to the third Rider of the Reiwa Era– Kamen Rider Revice!

A sinister cult who worship demons known as the DeadMans has developed the powers of a strange artifact called the ViStamp to awaken the devil within humanity- by awakening, the devil creates a monster known as a Deadmen. The Cult has 3 active members at start: Aguilera (played by Yui Asakura), Ortega (played by Hayata Seki and Julio (played by Kurodo Hachijouin. The DeadMans seek to reawaken their ancient master.

Watching the DeadMans Cult is a scientific research group called FENIX. This agency decides to create new technology based on the legendary Kamen Rider franchise to save the world from demons. Genius scientist George Karisaki (portrayed by Hamao Noritaka) develops a new Rider System based on the ViStamp- the Revice Driver!

Each ViStamp revealed so far features the power of a past Kamen Rider fused with an animal spirit. The current ViStamps setups include:

-Kamen Rider Revice: TRex
-Kamen Rider Decade: Megalodon
-Kamen Rider Ex-aid: Jackal
-Kamen Rider Gaim: Praying Mantis
-Kamen Rider Fourze: Gorilla
-Kamen Rider Den-O: Mammoth
-Kamen Rider W: Falcon
-Kamen Rider Faiz: Pterosaur
-Kamen Rider Zi-O: Brontosaur
-Kamen Rider Kuuga: Lion

Young Ikki Igarashi (played by Kentaro Maeda) works at his family bathhouse when he is forced into a confrontation with his own inner devil, Vice. A deal between the two allows them to use the Revice Driver to transform into the next generation of heroes: Kamen Rider Revi & Kamen Rider Vice! Together they will work with FENIX to stop the DeadMans Cult. Ikki is determined to protect his family and younger siblings, while Vice merely wants to be set free.

Kamen Rider Revices’ theme song is titled liveDevil and will be performed by the group Da-ICE with voice actor Subaru Kimura (who also portrays Vice) assisting on vocals.

Kamen Rider Revice officially premieres on September 5 2021!

Toei has updated their official site to introduce the third Kamen Rider of the Reiwa Era– Kamen Rider Revice!

Kamen Rider Revice is the story of a young man who makes a deal with the devil. The sinister Dead Man Cult has developed a device called the Vice Stamp to awaken the demons within humans- which they call Deadmen. Our hero is named Ikki Igarashi– he strikes a bargain with the demon Vice to use the Stamp power & save the world- transforming both into Kamen Rider Revi & Kamen Rider Vice!

Ikki will be portrayed by newcomer Kentaro Maeda, while Vice will be voiced by Subaru Kimura (who is perhaps best known to toku fans as the voice of the Seiza Blaster in Uchu Sentai KyuRanger.) Outside of battle, Ikki will receive support from his younger siblings Daiji and Sakura– played by Wataru Hyuga & Ayaka Imoto respectively.

The head writer of Kamen Rider Revice will be Hanta Kinoshita a newcomer to the tokusatsu world. Longtime Rider director Takayuki Shibasaki will return to helm the series. Music will be composed by Kotaro Nakagawa another Rider veteran.

Toei has scheduled the first Kamen Rider Revice press conference for July 27 2021. The series itself will begin on September 5 2021! Stay tuned to TokuNation between now & then for further updates on this new chapter in Kamen Rider history!

Some new details on the upcoming new Kamen Rider series Kamen Rider Revice have been released at last!

It appears the newest Kamen Rider is in fact TWO Riders! We have seen both figures in previous images but the connection has now been explained:

*Kamen Rider Revi is the traditional Rider-design with default pink & blue coloring.
*Kamen Rider Vice is the support character with a darker base suit & highlights based on Revis’ own colors.

According to recent rumors, Vice is a spirit-figure connected to the series’ protagonist. When Revi transforms, Vice gains a new body with new powers depending on their current equipment.

The Revice default form seen here appears to be Dinosaur based, additional forms to come.

A new Kamen Rider sticker set has given us our best look yet at the upcoming new Rider- Kamen Rider Revice!

These new images match the early artwork from the recent Super Hero Senki poster . Kamen Rider Revice is a pink & blue Rider with a tooth-based mouth plate. A Tyrannosaurus icon on the suit’s chest appears to match early rumors that Revice will be a DINOSAUR themed Kamen Rider.

A second figure appears alongside Revice in these early images. At time of writing it remains unknown if this is the secondary Rider for the series or a combat partner similar to the Imagin from Kamen Rider Den-O.
