My Hero Academia has become an absolute sensation, and one of the the biggest anime series in history in the last 10 years. With its final season currently airing, all fans of the series have tuned in to witness the curtain fall on the brilliant piece of media written by Kohei Horikoshi. My Hero Academia's The manga already ended a year ago, and with the anime following suit, fans are worried about the future of the franchise. While that's certainly a valid concern, it seems like Horikoshi already has it his next project planned for My Hero Academia franchise.
Horikoshi, the creator of MHA, is deeply involved in the upcoming new live-action film for the series, created by Netflix. With his guidance, this new project is likely to be much better than expected, so naturally, fans are less worried about the adaptation. Many fans are enthusiastic about MHA live action moviebut it doesn't have a release date yet.

My Hero Academia Season 8, the final season of the series, is currently underway. While it's been a phenomenal ride so far, it's also the shortest season yet, with just 11 episodes in total. The season has already passed the halfway point, and fans are definitely starting to wonder what's next. While the fans have My Hero Academia: Vigilantes Season 2 to look forward to in 2026many are longing for more MHA content. Fans definitely want to see more of the original cast instead of brand new characters, and Horikoshi's next project might just fulfill their wishes.
For quite a few years now, Netflix has been working on an MHA live-action movie. Live-action adaptations of anime series have always worried fans because they don't usually turn out very well. During the tests, they have developed a very bad reputation with franchises like Dragon Ball or Death Note.
The concerns are certainly valid, but it has been revealed that Horikoshi is actually deeply involved with Netflix in this matter. Horikoshi is at the forefront of this productionso fans can at least expect a project that fits his vision.
In addition, Netflix recently had success with the One Piece live-action series. If MHA's movie is a success, it wouldn't be surprising if Netflix decides to fully adapt the series, just like it's trying to do with One Piece.
“There is no treatment, there are no outlines, there are no scenes, there is nothing that Kōhei does not make notes on, react to [with] thumbs up, thumbs down. It makes me feel really confident that we're going to deliver something that fans, like myself, feel good about. You want to do something that feels true to the material. You want to do something that the fans feel respects the canon and the original, but also find an access point for people who have never read [the manga]who have never seen the first movies.” – Jason Fuchs
My Hero Academia's Netflix Live Action doesn't have a release date yet
The My Hero Academia live-action movie has been in the works for seven years now. With so much time that has passed, fans would expect the project to be finished already. However, that couldn't be further from the truth.
For whatever reason, it seems this project kept getting delayed, and only recently has serious work begun on it. The film is still in the very early stages of production, so fans shouldn't expect it anytime soon 2027.
