It has become a trend for the recent anime to develop a movie on the canon storylines to follow up on the movie stories. They integrate a short side arc into the 90-minute film (usually three episodes long) and add the three acts to create a cinematic plot. The success of Demon Slayer Movie is the best representation for such kind of box-office hit in recent times. While My Hero Academia doesn’t enjoy that type of popularity in Japan, generally having an original plot brings more audience to the movie. It will still be a well-performing movie.
The previous second movie for MHA was Heroes: Rising was ranked #4 in the US box office opening at release. So that tells us that the third movie will also perform better in the American market. Nevertheless, the Japanese audience is also looking forward to the movie. There is no official title for the movie yet or any teaser related to it, but the film is now under production. With the season 5 production completed and ready for release, the main team was moved to a new project.
My Hero Academia is an intense anime story where the world is full of people with superhuman abilities. Some of these people use their abilities to become villains with the ambition to create chaos and destruction. In response, a faction of superheroes is established, and young people are trained to become the aspiring heroes that maintain peace in the world. For us, the main protagonist is Izuku Midoriya, who is telling us the story of how he became the World’s No. 1 Hero. His struggle when he was quirkless to the powerful quirk gained as he entered high school. The story is far from over, and Midoriya keeps growing into a Hero destined for the ultimate title.
