Shinsuke Satō (live-action Bleach, Alice in Borderland, Kingdom, Death Note Light up the NEW world, Gantz, I am a Hero) is attached to direct. Netflix is producing and distributing the project.
Álex García and Jay Ashenfelter are overseeing the project for Legendary Entertainment, while Ryōsuke Yoritomi, the manga's editor, oversees the project for Shueisha. TOHO would distribute the project in Japan.
Horikoshi launched the manga series in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in July 2014, and ended it in August 2024 (although he added 38 pages of new content in the manga's 42nd and final compiled book volume in December). Viz Media publishes the manga in English digitally and in print in North America, and it released the 41st volume on June 3. Shueisha's MANGA Plus service also publishes the manga in English digitally. The manga crossed 100 million copies in circulation worldwide in April 2024.
The anime adaptation will premiere its final season on October 4. My Hero Academia: You're Next, the fourth anime film in the franchise, opened in Japan in August 2024. The film screened in IMAX, MX4D, 4DX, and Dolby Cinema. TOHO International opened the film in U.S. theaters on October 11.
The television anime of Hideyuki Furuhashi and Betten Court's My Hero Academia: Vigilantes (Vigilante: Boku no Hero Academia Illegals) spinoff manga premiered on April 7 on the Tokyo MX and BS NTV channels. Crunchyroll is streaming the series worldwide excluding Asia, and also streams an English dub. The anime will get a second season in 2026.
