With less than three weeks until the final season of My Hero Academia is set to air, Netflix announced that its live-action film adapting the series is finally moving forward.
The film was originally announced back in 2022 as a co-production between Netflix and Legendary Entertainment, with Shinsuke Sato signed on to direct and Joby Harold writing the script.
But communication on the matter went dark until this week, when it was revealed that Harold had left the project and was replaced by Jason Fuchs of Argyle and Wonder Woman fame. No additional details on casting or release have been revealed.
Originally, Toho Co., Ltd was slated to distribute the film theatrically in Japan. It’s unclear if this is still the case or if Netflix will give it a theatrical window in the United States, like it is with Wake Up Dead Man later this year.
