We're in a real sweet spot for anime film screenings in the west, and further proof is here with the announcement that Eleven Arts has acquired the Gintama THE FINAL anime film. The feature—which became the highest-grossing anime film in the series in Japan—is on the way to North America under the title Gintama THE VERY FINAL.
There aren't further details at the moment, but you can see the official English title on the poster:

Synopsis:
This is the actual ending.
The countdown to destruction has begun! All will join to reclaim an Edo in grave peril!
Earth is facing its darkest days, and the members of the Odd Jobs must come together to save it from an otherworldly menace.
Old allies Gintoki, Takasugi, and Katsura strive their hardest for their own ideals, but standing in their way is someone with whom they share a sad history: Utsuro, an alternate personality of their former teacher and mentor, Shoyo. Having been spawned by Altana, the energy that fuels all planets, this immortal fiend has regenerated multiple times until finally becoming Utsuro, the ultimate enemy... And he intends to take down the entire world in order to end his own life.
Gintoki and the others set out to fulfill the wishes of their teacher Shoyo and thwart Utsuro's plans. Shinpachi, Kagura, the Shinsengumi, members of the Kabuki District, and even former enemies will join their fight.
As Utsuro's power grows, Takasugi fights for his very life.
Will Gintoki be able to put an end to all this?!
The "final" Gintama movie opened in Japanese cinemas on January 8, 2021. Stay tuned for more details on North American screenings as they're announced.
