The First 150 Seconds of Tokyo Ghoul Live-Action Film Sequel Introducing Margaret has Been Released!
Monday, May 27, 2019
Highly-anticipated second film is set to be released on July 19, 2019
Two months prior to its theatrical release in Japan, the official website for the live-action film project
based on Sui Ishida's dark fantasy manga series Tokyo Ghoul has started streaming the first two minutes
of the upcoming second film introducing 26-year-old fashion model Maggy as one of the new characters,
Margaret, as well as the highlights from the first one.
As with herself in real life, Margaret is a fashion model character, and becomes the target of the sequel's
main antagonist Shu Tsukiyama played by 33-year-old Shouta Matsuda (Ikigami, Afro Tanaka). This is
Maggy's first acting role.
As reported, 30-year-old Masataka Kubota (Light Yagami in the Death Note TV darma) reprises his
role as the protagonist Ken Kaneki, while 21-year-old fashion model/actress Maika Yamamoto (Kaede
Kayano in Assassination Classroom live-action films) is newly cast as the main heroine Touka Kirishima.
The highly anticipated sequel Tokyo Ghoul 【S】is set to be released in Japan on July 19, 2019, just
two years after the first film's release day of July 29, 2017.
Masataka Kubota (center in image below) is returning as Ken Kaneki, but Maika Yamamoto is replacing Fumika Shimizu as Tōka Kirishima. (Shimizu retired from acting to join the Happy Science religious organization in 2017.) Shota Matsuda (right in image below) is joining the cast as Shū Tsukiyama, a character who appears in the manga but was not in the last film.
The first film premiered on July 3, 2017 at Anime Expo in Los Angeles. The film then opened in Japan on July 29, 2017, and ranked #5 in its opening weekend in Japan. Funimation screened the first film in theaters in the United States in October 2017.
