Cosplay Universe to hold world premiere screening at Anime Expo 2022
Cosplay documentary Cosplay Universe will have its world premiere screening at this summer’s Anime Expo.
Announced today, the screening will take place on Sunday, July 3 (12:30 p.m.) at Regal Cinemas, which is located on 1000 W Olympic Blvd in Los Angeles.
A synopsis for the film reads:
Featuring industry leaders such as Stan Lee and Yaya Han, as well as expert competitors in the World Cosplay Summit, this fascinating documentary feature explores this growing global trend and the psychology behind this extreme form of self-expression. Cosplay Universe captures the magic of personal transformation that allows cosplayers to step outside themselves, emulating the heroes whose qualities they aspire to attain.
The documentary will be released in theaters this summer following the premiere, and it’ll arrive on streaming services this fall. More information about the documentary can be found here. A trailer can be viewed below.
Anime Expo will make its in-person return to the Los Angeles Convention Center from July 1 through July 4. Four-day and single-day badges for Anime Expo are on sale to the general public right now.
