Netflix and Legendary’s live-action adaptation of My Hero Academia has discovered a brand new author. Jason Fuchs, finest identified for co-writing DC’s Surprise Girl, has been tapped to deal with the screenplay for the long-gestating challenge based mostly on Kohei Horikoshi’s hit manga.
The movie has been quietly transferring ahead since its preliminary announcement in 2018, with Bleach and Kingdom director Shinsuke Sato set to direct. Legendary producers Álex García and Jay Ashenfelter stay hooked up, alongside Ryosuke Yoritomi, the unique manga’s editor, who’s overseeing on behalf of Shueisha.
Netflix formally got here on board in late 2022. On the time, screenwriter Joby Harold (Fringe of Tomorrow, John Wick Chapter 3) had been linked to the script.
My Hero Academia, created by Kohei Horikoshi, ran in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Bounce journal from July 2014 till its conclusion in August 2024, with its chapters collected in 42 tankobon volumes.
Studio Bones tailored the manga into an anime sequence. The primary season aired in Japan from April to June 2016, adopted by a second season from April to September 2017, a 3rd season from April to September 2018, a fourth season from October 2019 to April 2020, a fifth season from March to September 2021, a sixth season from October 2022 to March 2023, a seventh season from Might to October 2024.
The eighth and remaining season of My Hero Academia will begin airing in October 2025.
