Enthusiastic SDCC 2025 Goers Delighted by Omniscient Reader Adaptation
WEBTOON, the popular digital entertainment company, made an exciting announcement at Comic-Con International in San Diego, California. The announcement, made on July 24, 2025, was met with great anticipation by attendees at the event.
The announcement was centered around a new Intellectual Property (IP) from WEBTOON. However, details about the new IP are yet to be revealed.
In addition to the new IP, WEBTOON also gave a sneak peek of the live-action fantasy action film Omniscient Reader: The Prophet. The film, based on the web novel Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint, was serialized from January 2018 to February 2020 on Munpia, the largest webnovel platform in Korea.
The panel for the sneak peek was named Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint: The WEBTOON Phenomenon and First Look at the New Film. The panel was packed with attendees, presumably a mix of new and long-time fans of ORV. The sneak peek was offered days before the U.S. premiere of the film, which is set to be released in theaters across North America and Canada as of August 1, 2025.
The live-action film adaptation of Omniscient Reader was adapted and launched as a webcomic by WEBTOON in August 2020. The film was given an exclusive sneak peek at San Diego Comic-Con 2025, providing a tantalizing glimpse into the world of the popular webtoon.
It's worth noting that a related live-action film adaptation titled Omniscient Reader: The Prophet was released on July 23, 2025, in South Korea and became available in theaters across North America and Canada starting August 1, 2025. However, this is distinct from the anime series that has been officially announced for production by Aniplex and Crunchyroll.
