Channing Tatum has an adorable reason for joining Demon Slayer movie cast

Channing Tatum has joined the English dub voice cast of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle, and the Magic Mike star has a very good reason for wanting to be part of the hugely successful anime.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle is the first instalment in a three-part cinematic trilogy that will conclude the finale battle of the anime shonen series.

The movie has already broken box office records in Japan, and hits US and Canada screens on September 12, 2025, courtesy of Crunchyroll and Sony Pictures.

Much of the English dub voice cast from the Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yabia series is returning, but Channing Tatum will be joining their ranks as Keizo for a very cute reason.
