Toei Co., Ltd. has provided SciFi Japan with promotional artwork for their upcoming theatrical release, KAMEN RIDER ZEZTZ & SUPER SPACE SHERIFF GAVAN INFINITY DOUBLE HERO SUMMER MOVIE 2026 (仮面ライダーゼッツ＆超宇宙刑事ギャバン インフィニティ W ヒーロー夏映画 2026, Kamen Raidā Zettsu & Chō Uchū Keiji Gyaban Infiniti W-Hīrō Natsu Eiga 2026). The latest Toei Superhero double feature breaks from the traditional annual pairing of Kamen Rider and Super Sentai, the latter brand having ended -- for now -- with the series NO.1 SENTAI GOZYUGER (ナンバーワン戦隊ゴジュウジャー Nanbā Wan Sentai Gojūjā, 2025). Instead this year's entry will feature the casts and characters of the current Kamen Rider television series and the first entry in Toei's new "PROJECT R.E.D." franchise inspired by their Metal Hero shows of the 1980s.
DOUBLE HERO SUMMER MOVIE 2026 opens in Japan on Friday, July 24th.

SUPER SPACE SHERIFF GAVAN INFINITY (超宇宙刑事ギャバン インフィニティ, Chō Uchū Keiji Gyaban Infiniti, 2026)
SUPER SPACE SHERIFF GAVAN INFINITY (airing Sundays from 9:30 to 10:00 AM on TV Asahi) marks the momentous first installment of "PROJECT R.E.D."—a brand-new hero series succeeding the Super Sentai franchise.
Upholding the spirit of the original 1982-83 television series SPACE SHERIFF GAVAN (宇宙刑事ギャバン, Uchū Keiji Gyaban), this super-dimensional heroic saga is set within a multiverse (the "Cosmo Layer"), where Gavan—possessing the ability to traverse dimensions—solves "Emorgy Crimes" by energy-based beings as they erupt across various planes of existence. Boarding the massive space battleship Cosmo Gavarion, he crosses dimensions once again—this time on the big screen—to execute his signature "Jo-Chaku!" transformation!

Teaser Art
Toei has released two pieces of teaser artwork for KAMEN RIDER ZEZTZ & SUPER SPACE SHERIFF GAVAN INFINITY DOUBLE HERO SUMMER MOVIE 2026.
The first depicts a darkened landscape with the names "ZEZTZ" and "GAVAN" boldly emblazoned at the feet of the two heroes who stand side-by-side, backlit by a radiant glow as they stride toward the viewer. The accompanying tagline—"Are you ready?"—is imbued with the quiet stillness that precedes a momentous beginning, serving as a powerful harbinger of the dawn of a new era ofr heroes. What battles await them at the end of the path where their symbolic shadows—overlapping with their very names—stretch out before them? With this one-of-a-kind image, fan anticipation is reaching a fever pitch as everyone eagerly awaits to see what kind of epic trajectory these two heroes will trace across the silver screen this summer!
The second teaser artwork offers a closer look at Kamen Rider Zeztz and Space Sheriff Gavan Infinity. As their eyes glow red in the darkness, are they fixed upon some colossal enemy they must defeat? Or are they gazing toward the peaceful future of the people they are sworn to protect? The tagline—"New Heroes. Evolving Legends."—perfectly encapsulates the enduring human desire for heroes: a fervent passion that remains unchanged, even as the world of tokusatsu enters a new era of transformation.
