Evangelion fans who want to see the final Rebirth film early will have their chance soon. GKIDS has announced that Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time will premiere in select IMAX theaters in late November. 

Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time will premiere in IMAX on November 30th. This will be followed by its world premier in theaters on December 6th. It will also be shown on December 8th and the 11th. Tickets for both will become available for sale starting on November 2nd.

At the moment, there is no word regarding if the dubbed version will premier alongside the subbed version or on a separate night. It should be noted that this will be the premiere of the film in North America. Evangelion 3.0+1.0: Thrice Upon a Time was first released in Japan on January 23rd, 2021.

Rebuild of Evangelion is a cinematic retelling of the anime series while also introducing new characters to the story. The series brings together series creator, Hideaki Anno, along with the original writers and performers. The first film, Evangelion: 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone, was released back in 2007.

Neon Genesis Evangelion follows the story of Shinji as he is recruited to pilot an Evangelion into combat against the Angels. The series has been highly praised for deconstructing the mecha genre while also exploring complex themes. Among the themes explored are the meaning of individuality and personal choice.
