The still loyal fans of the manga-animated series "Tokyo Ghoul" excitedly awaiting for its third season run are still in limbo as no release date for "Tokyo Ghoul" season 3 has been set. However, according to the latest rumor, fans may have to wait a lot longer as a live-action movie about the manga series is in the works, and the animated series' third season won't come out until the movie has been shown.

According to reports, the producers and director of the anime series currently have their hands tied on the live-action film feature of "Tokyo Ghoul," which is one of the reasons why, allegedly, "Tokyo Ghoul" season 3 has been further delayed. Additionally, it is also rumored that the live action feature will be linked to its animated series counterpart, hence, the latter will have to wait a while before it gets into production.

Apart from the rumor that "Tokyo Ghoul" season 3 is taking a backseat for the time being in favor of its supposed live-action film feature, there are also speculations going around claiming that the upcoming season of the anime series will reveal the main protagonist, Ken Kaneki, as a villain, after all, and will fight alongside those on the evil side.

There are also rumors claiming that, upon his capture by Ghoul terrorists, Ken Kaneki will be forced to hide behind the identity of Haise Sasaki, a Ghoul Investigator while another report says that the upcoming "Tokyo Ghoul" season 3 will not cast on the spotlight on Ken Kaneki and will, instead, focus on another protagonist Touka Kirishima.

Apparently, in the absence of an official word from the creators of "Tokyo Ghoul" season 3, fans have come up with various rumors and speculations to fill the void. Exciting as the rumors may sound, they will remain as pieces of unconfirmed reports until they are officially validated.
