It’s Going To SMAAAAASH Up The Silver Screen!
After the phenomenon that was its second season, fans are practically frothing at the mouth to see more of Izuku and All Might. Thankfully, their battle against the League of Villains isn’t that far off since a third season was recently announced for April of next year. Normally that would have been more than enough to satiate our shounen appetites, but it seems we have even more to look forward to!
According to an article on Anime News Network, the heroes of U.A High are set to star in their own feature-length film!
The 2018 combined second and third issue of Shueisha‘s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine revealed on Monday that KÅhei Horikoshi‘s My Hero Academia manga is inspiring an anime film that will premiere in summer 2018. The film will feature an original story. The issue listed film’s title as My Hero Academia The Movie. The Jump Festa 2018 event on December 16-17 will reveal a new visual for the film.
Horikoshi’s comment in the issue also stated that the movie will show the previously unrevealed past of a certain character, and will also feature the characters of Class A. Horikoshi also drew an illustration to commemorate the announcement.
The manga has inspired two television anime series. The anime’s first 13-episode season premiered in April 2016, and the second 25-episode series premiered on April 1. The third season will premiere in April 2018. The manga has also inspired a spinoff manga series, as well as several video games. Bandai Namco Entertainment will reveal more information about the recently announcedMy Hero Academia: One’s Justice game at Jump Festa 2018.
Perhaps this means we will get to see All Might in his youth? How about the previous wielders of One for All? Whatever they decide to go with, it’s pretty clear that this series is going to dominate the anime landscape next year.
