Can You Still See It in UK Cinemas?

Not in a wide release. The main run ended after 2025, and the only return was the March 2026 ScreenX screenings. At launch, major chains including Odeon, Vue and Cineworld showed it, with subtitled and dubbed screenings and premium formats such as IMAX. London was part of the UK-wide release, but we cannot confirm any current London showtimes. If a special screening is added, it will appear on the official cinema websites.
