The upcoming anime film based on the series My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! will premiere next year.

My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! began as a novel series in 2014 by Satoru Yamaguchi and is currently still ongoing. A light novel and manga adaptation began in 2015 and 2017 respectively. The recent anime began airing two years ago on April 4th, and was directed by Keisuke Inoue (Ao-chan Can’t Study!, Masamune-kun’s Revenge).

Catarina Claes is a high-school aged otaku that gets reincarnated as the villainess of the fictional otome game Fortune Lover. With the foreknowledge that her reincarnation gives her, she knows that the character Catarina is destined for a bad end and thus she works tirelessly to prevent it.

Failing that she becomes known as an eccentric noblewoman, spending her time on practical skills like farming in the event she’s ever exiled and disowned.

The film was originally announced back in 2021. At the time of publishing, not much is known about the film and it’s possible it could just be a recap of the anime series.
