According to Anime News Network, the original manga creator, Takeshi Konomi, will supervise the new The Prince of Tennis movie. It will tell an original story that will take place in the three-month period between the original manga and The New Prince of Tennis manga.
The movie also dropped its first teaser trailer at the Jump Festa '21, per Hype Beast. It shows Ryoma in a different dimension, showing how close to being real he and the other characters look.

Hiroshi Koujina directs The Prince of Tennis movie with the help of Takehiko Hata's scriptwriting expertise. Patricia Hishikawa and Momoko Yamada, on the other hand, work on the CG team.
The title is based on Konomi's manga with the same name, which ran on Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine from 1999 to 2008. It has inspired a number of spin-offs and different adaptations, like a hit anime series, two feature films, a live-action movie, and a live-action TV series in China.
