The My Hero Academia live-action remake has been in the works since 2018, when film studio Legendary managed to nab the rights and cut a deal with Netflix. Over the last seven years, the only real information on the manga/anime adaptation was that Bleach director Shinsuke Sako had agreed to direct.
But pro-heroes can breathe a sigh of relief. It finally looks like My Hero Academia might be moving forward. New York City resident Jason Fuchs has signed up to bring Izuku and friends to life. Fuchs began his career as a child actor in the Flipper movie and has had more acting credits than writing, but he’s currently penning the latest Stephen King series, IT: Welcome to Derry.
He’s best known for the first Wonder Woman movie and Henry Cavill’s Argylle. Jason Fuchs isn’t the obvious choice, as, outside of the one DC movie, he’s not well-versed in adaptations or written Asian style media before, which might worry fans.
Netflix appears to be buying the rights to every anime/manga it can get its hands on, investing in One Piece, Castlevania, Avatar: The Last Airbender, and many more, but they’ve not always had longevity, with Netflix unafraid to cancel after one or two seasons. Cowboy Bebop, Scott Pilgrim Takes Off were both cut despite good reviews. Let’s hope that My Hero Academia beats the odds.
