What to expect and details about panel guests?

The voice actors for the main characters of both Naruto and Boruto have been announced as panel guests for the Boruto & Naruto Super Stage. This includes Yuko Sanpei as Boruto Uzumaki, Junko Takeuchi as Naruto Uzumaki, Noriaki Sugiyama as Sasuke Uchiha, and Chie Nakamura as Sakura Haruno.

Many are expecting major announcements for each series in the overarching franchise with the core casts of the Boruto and Naruto series present at the Super Stage. With a major announcement for the latter series officially teased at the Super Stage, many speculate that it could be a remake of the original Shippuden series, or even a new series altogether.

Fans are especially excited about this remake news because it would presumably and justifiably remove any and all filler episodes from the original adaptations. The Road of Naruto reanimated trailer for the original series, which was first released on the 20th anniversary of the anime's premiere, is heavily fueling such rumors.

One of the more exciting potential announcements for the former series could be the Sasuke Retsuden anime arc. With the light novel turned manga's story taking place in the Boruto timeline, this becomes even more plausible. The anime's reliance on filler arcs due to the manga's monthly release schedule, as well as the popularity of Sasuke as a character and the Retsuden manga, lends credence to this theory.

However, given the track record of the Boruto and Naruto franchises, a new Boruto film appears to be the most likely announcement. Likely another anime original production, such a film would be a classic Studio Pierrot choice, especially with projects like Bleach: TYBW on the horizon.
