It has been revealed that the title for Kamen Rider Fourze's summer film is “Kamen Rider Fourze THE MOVIE Everyone It's Space Time!” (仮面ライダーフォーゼ THE MOVIE みんなで宇宙キターッ!). Along with it are two familiar guys from the classic times.
As a tribute to the 1976 tokusatsu series Space Ironmen Kyoudain, they are Grandain, and his younger sister, Skydain. Both appear before the Kamen Rider Club, seemingly wanting to attack the earth.
Gentarou finds himself asking OSTO Legacy for help, there he meets the director of OSTO Legacy, played by Kohki Okata, and his secretary, Ayumi Kinoshita (Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger). Kamen Rider Fourze begins to seek for their friendship for the universe depends on it.
The director of the film is Koichi Sakamoto. Because of the similarities in their pointy heads, he stated that the viewer should be expecting a fight to see which head is the strongest.
Also known as Uchuu Tetsujin Kyoudain is a 1976 tokusatsu series that were produced as a joint effort between manga artist Shotaro Ishinomori and Toei Company.
As we get our initial images for Kamen Rider Fourze, many people have noticed the similarity between his and Skyzel's head, let alone having both a space theme. Will Super-1, considered as the first Kamen Rider who used a space theme, show up too?
Kamen Rider Fourze THE MOVIE Everyone It's Space Time! premieres August 4th.
