Live-Action My Hero Academia Movie Has Found A Streaming Home – Looper

Originally announced in 2018, Variety reported that a live-action English adaptation of “My Hero Academia” would soon be in the works with the company Legendary producing. This wouldn’t be the first live-action adaptation Legendary has undertaken either, with one of their recent endeavors being the well-received “Detective Pikachu” in 2019. Luckily, it looks like some recent news involving the upcoming “My Hero Academia” movie has now come to light, and that is where fans will soon get a chance to check out what characters like Deku and All Might will look like when played by real actors.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Netflix has secured the rights to the live-action “My Hero Academia,” which is not the first time the streaming company has scooped up a live version of a beloved anime. Previously, Netflix released an adaptation of “Death Note,” so it looks like “My Hero Academia” will have some familiar company on the Netflix roster. In addition, Joby Harold, who has previous credits for “Obi-Wan Kenobi” and “Army of the Dead,” is reportedly writing the screenplay. Although there isn’t much else known about the project yet, it is only a matter of time before the streaming sphere becomes very familiar with the quirk-filled world of “My Hero Academia.”
