Cast
Development
In an interview, Tite Kubo has stated that he will be involved with the production of the movie to ensure its faithfulness to the manga and anime, so that both old and new fans may enjoy it. He also stated that his only concern was the color of Ichigo's hair, which in the manga and anime is a bright shade of orange. He said, "If that color is in the live-action movie, it’d be strange, so I wonder what they’re going to do!."[4] Regarding what fans could expect in the live-action adaptation, Sōta Fukushi, who will portray Ichigo, stated that the film would feature "the monstrous Hollows, otherworldly Soul Society, and destructive Zanpakuto sword-fighting techniques".[5]
