Well, First and foremost. We don't know if this is canon to the original series for several reasons. 1: Kamen Rider 2 is strangely absent. So is V3, as that series was a continuation of the first one. 2: Tobei Tachibana somehow managed to find time to have a family with an unnamed child getting married in the 80s/90s and said child having a daughter who is also Tobei's Granddaughter Mayu. Also, Pops is implied to have died at some point. (Okay, that last part I can believe, as it is a sign of respect by Toei to Mr. Kobayashi by not having assigned an actor replace him in one of his most notable roles.) 3: Shocker is still just plain Shocker: What happened to Gel-Shocker and Destron? Did any of that happen or has Hongo been fighting the same enemy alone for 45 years? If so, what the heck happened to the other Showa Riders? 4: Where did that Power Up form come from? We didn't see Kamen Rider 1 get any upgrades past his old New 1 suit. 5: Based on the TV ads, Kamen Rider 1 may die in this film (No confirmation yet, but the ads play around with that implication). If that really stuck, not only would this be seen a bad marketing decision, but every member of Kamen Rider Fandom would rage on a level that exceeds the reactions to the bad choices in writing made in Kamen Rider Taisen. Takeshi Hongo is the very heart and soul of this franchise, its very icon and embodiment of what it is. If they did decide to kill him off, it would automatically be undone as quickly as possible to avoid backlash, thus the film would possibly be rendered entirely pointless to continuity aside from an in-Ghost and Zyuohger only standpoint. Remember, sometimes continuity in the shows are self contained to just that.

Second, and this is the big one. The movie won't be on our end for a few months to a year. So no sense in guessing what hasn't come yet.
