## Summary

Aniplex chairman Atsuhiro Iwakami wants the Demon Slayer franchise to continue for decades, potentially as long as 50 to 100 years. His ambition reflects a plan to build a lasting property in the mould of long-running entertainment franchises such as Star Wars and Marvel.

The manga’s central story has ended, and the planned film trilogy is expected to conclude it, likely before 2030. Aniplex could continue the franchise through spin-offs and side stories; meanwhile, the second Infinity Castle film is in production, but its release date has not been announced.
