Variety is reporting Sonny Chiba will reprise his role as Seven-Color Mask in an upcoming movie:

Action icon Sonny Chiba is prepping a pic based on the pioneering Tokusatsu TV series “Nanairo Kamen” (Seven-Color Mask) via his shingle, Kyoto-based Thousand Leaves Hollywood.

The series, which gave Chiba his first starring role, ran on the predecessor to the TV Asahi network from 1959-60.

Chiba will reprise the title role, fulfilling a promise he made to series creator Kohan Kawauchi, who died last month at age 88.
