Scissor Seven Feature Film Announced: The Xuanwu Arc Hits the Big Screen in 2028
The long-awaited news has finally arrived: Scissor Seven fans have learned from official sources that the series' highly anticipated feature film will be released in 2028, with a global launch planned. As reported by Anime Corner, the film will take place in Xuanwu, one of the most important locations in the story, and will bring the events of the main series to the big screen.
Scissor Seven (originally titled Wujian Qixing) is a donghua series created by Chinese producer and director He Xiaofeng, known for its blend of absurd comedy and emotional moments. The production, which aired its first season in 2018, has continued with four seasons and a special episode. The latest season was released worldwide on Netflix in 2023 to great acclaim. The series tells the adventures of Seven, an assassin who uses hair-cutting scissors, and his friends, masterfully blending action and humor.
The newly announced film will focus specifically on the history and mysteries of the Xuanwu Kingdom. This means that some events only hinted at in the series will now become clear. Although the 2028 date seems quite far off, it is stated that the producers are working meticulously to ensure the quality of the project is not compromised. The film is planned to be released not only in China but simultaneously worldwide via Netflix or other international platforms. This is considered an indicator of the series' global popularity.
In the third and fourth seasons of the series, viewers received clues about the dark past of Xuanwu. For example, this kingdom, which is linked to Seven's true identity and past, is one of the topics fans are most curious about. While answering these questions, the film will also introduce new characters and conflicts. In particular, the stories of supporting characters like Jiang and the Plum Boss are expected to deepen. He Xiaofeng previously emphasized in his statements that the feature film could be watched as a standalone story, but would be much more meaningful for those who follow the series.
There is no detailed trailer or poster for the film at the moment; however, this announcement is the most concrete sign that the Scissor Seven universe will continue to expand. It is rumored that new seasons of the series may arrive before 2028. Fans are eagerly awaiting both the feature film and a potential fifth season. This news is also considered an important step for the greater global recognition of the donghua genre.
