Kohei Horikoshi is closely supervising the project

According to recent reports, Horikoshi has already approved some ideas proposed by the film crew, while rejecting others . This level of involvement suggests that the author is ensuring the adaptation remains faithful to the original spirit of My Hero Academia .

Such direct involvement from a manga artist is rare in Hollywood productions – and generally, that's a good sign.

A highly anticipated Netflix adaptation 👀⚡

With the international popularity of My Hero Academia, Netflix is ​​betting big on this project. The live-action will likely adapt the beginning of the manga: Izuku's arrival, the legacy of One For All , his meeting with All Might , and his first steps at U.A. High School.

If Horikoshi continues to bring his vision, the film could avoid the pitfalls that often plague live-action adaptations of Japanese works.

Why Horikoshi's involvement is so important

When the author intervenes directly, it allows for:

• preserve the original vision of the work,
• to avoid inconsistencies or misinterpretations,
• approve the designs, characters and costumes,
• to ensure a respectful adaptation of the manga's themes.

If Netflix follows its recommendations, this live-action version could be a pleasant surprise.

An adaptation to watch very closely

No official cast or visuals have been revealed yet, but announcements could be coming soon. My Hero Academia fans, stay tuned: the project is moving forward, and all indications point to an ambitious production.
