Osamu Kaneda Returns to Direct Super Hero Taisen Z

Osamu Kaneda was confirmed as director of Kamen Rider × Super Sentai × Space Sheriff: Super Hero Taisen Z in January 2013, a return engagement for a filmmaker already responsible for the previous Super Hero Taisen, along with crossover films including OOO, Den-O, All Riders: Let’s Go Kamen Riders, Kamen Rider Decade: All Riders vs. Dai-Shocker, and Kamen Rider Den-O & Kiva: Climax Deka.

Early details pointed to Space Shocker as the film’s central antagonist, with a premiere set for April, matching the release timing of its predecessor, and Shinichiro Shirakura once again attached as producer.
