My Hero Academia
Wouldn’t you know, Netflix is doing yet another live-action adaptation. Are you sensing a theme? This time around, the streamer is adapting the popular superhero anime, My Hero Academia. MHA follows Izuku Midoriya, a “quirkless” boy who inherits the superpowers of a world-famous superhero, All Might, and attends UA Academy, a school for fledgling heroes.
The live-action movie’s screenplay will be written by Joby Harold, the executive producer for the Obi-Wan Kenobi show, John Wick, and Edge of Tomorrow, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The My Hero Academia film will also serve as the English directorial debut of Shinsuke Sato. Prior to the MHA live-action movie, Sato directed the live-action films for Inuyashiki and I Am A Hero. Someone should’ve told the Netflix executive we already got a live-action MHA in the 2005 Disney film Sky High, a superhero movie about a kid who joins an academy for kids with superpowers.
