Legendary Entertainment would release its My Hero Academia movie on Netflix
Legendary Entertainment secured the rights to a live-action My Hero Academia movie in 2018. The script for the movie would be written by Joby Haroldwho has worked on projects such as the series of Obi-Wan Kenoby and Army of the Dead (Zack Snyder’s film). The film would be directed and produced by Sinshuke Sato. This would be his first production in English, although he has already participated in projects such as Gantz, Bleach, I Am a Hero or Alice in Borderlands.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film, with no casting elections yet, will premiere on Netflix. The streaming giant has already screened live action anime films before, with the film of Death Note of 2017. However, although surely many have set off alarm bells remembering the Netflix Death Note movie, let’s hope and it doesn’t follow the same path. For now we hardly know anything about the film, not even the release date, the fact that it is coming to Netflix is a joy. The film will also be released in theaters in Japan..
What is My Hero Academia about?
The story centers us in a world where 80% of people have powers. In this way, heroes and villains appear. However, there is a 20% of the population that does not have powers, but are normal humans. Among them, we find our protagonist Izuku Midoriya. He intends to study at the UA (School of Heroes in Japan) to be like All Might, your favorite hero. One day, All Might and Izuku Midoriya meet in person. All Might decides to inherit his powers to Izuku, seeing the passion and conviction of the protagonist. In this way, he will be able to enter the School of Heroes and train as one. There he will meet many colleagues with whom he will be able to undertake this new stage.
Although we don’t know anything about the movie Legendary Entertainment, it is expected to follow the same plot as the anime. This story has attracted a lot of fans over the years, so it would be a waste to make big changes to the script or characters. Netflix is the ideal platform for the premiere of the film, since it has a wide variety of anime titles (My Hero Academia, jojo bizarre adventureThe Seven Deadly Sins, Attack On TitanBaki, cowboy bebop…). On the other hand, other platforms like disneyplus They do not have such an extensive catalog on this genre. For now, we can only wait to receive more news about the movie and watch the anime episodes again to entertain ourselves.
