Trivia
- Takarajima's men's fashion magazine Smart revealed in its April issue that the movie would be released in Summer 2013. They later reported on Twitter that this was an error. [1]
Speculation
- The very last part of the new ending animation for the first movie features an unknown pink silhouette - most likely that of Ultimate Madoka - with another silhouette that is somewhat smaller and floating inside its belly, or womb (?) The smaller silhouette appears to be regular Madoka in a fetal position.
- This has fueled speculation of a pregnancy. In Goethe's Faust, Gretchen was actually pregnant with Faust's baby and she was forced to murder her baby by drowning it.
- There have been hints that the witches will reappear in the new movie in some capacity.
- There have been hints that Madoka Kaname will reunite with Homura Akemi, which probably strengthens the speculation above.
- Homura is seen shooting with a gun, not a bow like Madoka's, in the trailer.
- There are also mentions of Hitomi Shizuki and the word "Nightmare" associated with her, implying that she will play a prominent role in the third movie. How this is related remains to be seen.
- It is speculated that the third movie could be taking place in a different universe.
- The movie might also partially take place in the city of Kasamino.
- It seems likely that the movie will have "flashbacks" to alternate timelines.
- Kyoko is seen in the uniform of the school attended by the other girls.
- In the beginning of the first trailer, Homura's soul gem appears to be partially corrupted on the close-up.
