Doraemon 2026 Movie: Premiere Date and Voice Cast Announced

The highly anticipated 2026 installment of the beloved anime series, Doraemon, has unveiled exciting details about its upcoming film. Titled “Eiga Doraemon: Shin Nobita no Kaitei Kiganjō,” which translates to “Doraemon the Movie: New Nobita and the Castle of the Undersea Devil,” this film is set to premiere on February 27. The announcement also introduced two new guest voice actors who will bring unique characters to life.

Shōya Chiba will lend his voice to El, a soldier from the Mu Federation. El’s mission is to keep a watchful eye on Doraemon and his friends as they explore the depths of the sea.

Isao Murayama, another veteran of the Doraemon television series, has penned the screenplay for this new film. Murayama’s extensive experience includes work on “Witchy Precure!,” “Star Twinkle Precure,” and “Bakugan.”

The previous film in the series, “Eiga Doraemon: Nobita no Esekai Monogatari” (Doraemon: Nobita’s Art World Tales), the 44th film in the franchise, opened in Japan on March 7, 2025. Fans can look forward to another thrilling adventure with Doraemon and his friends in 2026.
