According to an announcement from Bandai Namco Filmworks in January 2026, the film carries the international title Die Graue Hexe and is produced by Sunrise with production assistance from Production I.G. The listing notes that the relations in the data are provisional.

OtaHub's take

Mamoru Oshii is the director; the original work is credited to Ryousuke Takahashi and Hajime Yatate, with original character design by Kazuchika Kise. The film is one of a series of projects commemorating Sunrise's 50th anniversary, released between 2026 and 2028. It is a mecha and science fiction title. The data gives no episode count, plot summary, or which part of the original series it follows.

Verdict

It is aimed at fans of mecha and followers of Mamoru Oshii's work, as well as anyone interested in Sunrise's anniversary projects. Story details are scarce, so this is one to keep an eye on rather than anticipate in specifics.
