The April issue of Tokuma Shoten's Animage magazine revealed on Saturday that the first Tiger & Bunny film, Gekijō-ban Tiger & Bunny -The Beginning- (pictured right), will have story elements similar in outline to those in the television series. However, producers Kazuhiko Tamura and Chika Matsui added in the magazine that the film project as a whole will also have new characters, and the second film will be an entirely new story. Yoshitomo Yonetani (Betterman, GaoGaiGar: King of Braves, Dororon Enma-kun Meeramera) is directing the first film.

The first film will open in Japan in September. If possible, Tamura and Matsui would like to release the second film in 2013.
