The official YouTube account of Netflix anime revealed a new trailer for the upcoming Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King movie on March 25, 2023.

The trailer features all the prominent characters and also the previous Wizard Kings who will be making an appearance in the movie.

The movie was originally supposed to release on March 31, 2023. However, it was later delayed by three months due to COVID-19.

The Black Clover movie will now release on June 16, 2023. It is an original anime movie and not manga canon.

The film is being directed by Ayataka Tanemura at Studio Pierrot, with screenplay by Johnny Otoda and Ai Orii. Itsuko Takeda will serve as the character designer, and  Minako Seki in charge of music. Yuki Tabata is supervising the anime film and providing original character designs.

Yūki Tabata‘s Black Clover has been serialized in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine since February 2015, with its chapters collected in 34 tankōbon volumes as of March 2023.

The plot follows Asta, a young boy born without any magic power. This is unknown to the world he lives in because seemingly everyone has some sort of magic power. With his fellow mages from the Black Bulls, Asta plans to become the next Wizard King.

The manga was first adapted into an original video animation produced by Xebec Zwei, released in 2017. An anime television series adaptation produced by Pierrot, aired in Japan on TV Tokyo from October 2017 to March 2021.
