The official website for Puella Magi Madoka Magica released a banner for the third film and also revealed a new magical girl character. Kana Asumi as Nagisa Momoe will be the new magical girl with a childlike appearance. The website jokes that nothing is known about her desire to become a magical girl, nor why she appears in the third film's story.
Madoka An ordinary girl with seemingly no special talents, whose life is turned upside down after the appearance of Homura and Kyubey. She begins to have doubts about becoming a Puella Magi after Mami's death, although she continues to accompany Sayaka on the witch hunt.
Akiyuki Shinbo and Yukihiro Miyamoto are directing the third film at animation studio SHAFT with original character designs by manga creator Ume Aoki. Yuki Kajiura will be the soundtrack, while musical units Claris and Kalafina will perform the film's opening theme "Colorful" and ending theme "Kimi no Gin no Niwa" (Your Silver Garden), respectively. The main cast will be returning from the television series along with the previous two films.
