🎬 Film Introduction: A Revolution in the Detective Conan World
Also known as Detective Conan: Fallen Angel of the Highway* (Japanese: Meitantei Conan: Highway no Datenshi) This is the 29th movie in the Detective Conan film franchise based on Gosho Aoyama’s popular manga, following Juugo Shinsaku (2018).
The movie is scheduled for nationwide release in Japan on April 10, 2026 via Toho and produced by TMS/1st Studio — the same team behind past Conan films.
Whereas previous movies would occasionally zero in on a mission involving international spies, historical figures or technology fueled bad-guy(s), Fallen Angel of the Highway seems to be narrowing the focus — quite literally—from giant action set pieces to just down at street level and perhaps involving some personal character arcs/ emotional backstories that lead Scott and Co. onto motorways for high-velocity thrills as well.
