“My Hero Academia” is getting a live-action movie from Netflix! the film’s screenplay will be done by Joby Harold, who was also the creative mind behind “Obi-Wan Kenobi” and “Army of the Dead.” No details on the casting have been revealed yet, but it will be produced by Legendary Entertainment. Based on the manga by Kohei Horikoshi, “My Hero Academia” follows the story of Midoriya Izuku, who was born "quirkless" in a world of superpowered beings, as he journeys into becoming a hero.
My Hero Academia takes place in a universe where the majority of humans are born with superpowers called quirks and centers around the once-quirkless Izuku Midoriya (or Deku). When Midoriya’s granted super strength from the hero he idolizes the most, All Might, he’s accepted into the prestigious UA High School for heroes-in-training. There, meets other quirk-wielding students while working toward unlocking his true strength and coming face-to-face with powerful enemies. It’s still too early to tell who will play the role of Midoriya and some of the other supporting roles, like the gravity-defying Ochaco Uraraka, the fiery Katsuki Bakugo, or the top hero All Might. But as is the case with other live-action anime adaptions, casting can make or break the remake. Netflix doesn’t have the best reputation when it comes to making live-action adaptations of anime; both its Death Note film and the now-canceled Cowboy Bebop didn’t really capture the essence of their source material. Hopefully, the streamer can take this feedback into account before it starts working on My Hero Academia and the several other live-action anime adaptions it has planned, including One Piece, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Yu Yu Hakusho, and (yet another) Death Note. My Hero Academia is set to hit theaters in Japan and will land on Netflix everywhere else, although there’s no word on a release date.
