The Mugen Train Arc movie adapted the Mugen Train Arc, then was re-cut and broadcasted as the first part of Demon Slayer Season 2’s two arcs. The anime version included new content that was not in the movie, though if you did watch the movie, you got pretty much the full arc, so you can skip the first 7 episodes of Season 2 if desired.
