Well, it's a possibility if they wanted to take the episode to the theater right from the start.

Btw, some animes end with movies, so Episode 25 being a 1-hour movie isn't a bad idea either, but I think they will stick with the 24-minute format and just suck the money of the fans who paid to see a simple episode on a bigger screen.
