Legendary developing live-action My Hero Academia movie

October 28, 2018 by Gary Collinson

Legendary Pictures has announced that it is in development on a live-action feature adaptation of My Hero Academia, the popular manga franchise from Kohei Horikoshi.

My Hero Academia follows Izuku, a young boy who lives in a world where 80% of the popular have a superpower – or ‘quirk’ – and dreams of being a superhero, only for him to fall under the 20% of people with no special abilities. Nevertheless, he looks to defy the odds by enrolling into one of the world’s most prestigious and intimidating hero academies, where he struggles for acceptance and is forced to face challenges that require him to risk everything to prove himself to be truly special.

Launching in 2014, My Hero Academia spawned an anime TV series, which has ran for three seasons, as well as the animated film My Hero Academia: Two Heroes, and two video games for the Nintendo 3DS and PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Legendary Pictures is currently in production on the live-action Pokemon movie Pokemon: Detective Pikachu starring Ryan Reynolds, which is slated for release on May 10th 2019.
