As of writing, there aren't many details on Netflix's announcement of My Hero Academia's live-action film. The plot of the film, as well as the characters who will appear in it, are also unknown.

Despite this, we believe My Hero Academia's Netflix live-action film will focus on the U.A.'s Beginning Saga, which is made up of nine manga story arcs.

There's a good chance the film will cover everything from the entrance exam arc to the hideout raid arc.

Therefore, we can expect to see our favorite characters, such as Deku, Bakugo, Todoroki, and All Might, in the live-action film.

We're also curious to see how Shigaraki and All For One will be portrayed in the film.

However, there are some cases where a live-action film completely deviates from the manga, such as Dragon Ball Evolution, a live-action film based on the Dragon Ball series.

Who knows how My Hero Academia's massive fanbase will react if that happens to the live-action Netflix film?

My Hero Academia revolves around Izuku Midoriya, also known as Deku, who was born quirkless in a world where the vast majority are gifted with supernatural abilities.

He dreams of becoming a hero someday, similar to the beloved hero of the world, All Might.

In a sudden twist of events, Midoriya becomes All Might's successor, and the power of One For All soon changes his entire life.

Midoriya enrolls at U.A., where he becomes part of Class 1-A along with his childhood bully, Katsuki Bakugo.

There is currently no word on when My Hero Academia's live-action Netflix film will be released.

Based on the release date of One Piece's Netflix live-action TV series, we anticipate a release window of two to six years.

It was first announced in 2017, and it took nearly six years for Netflix to reveal the actual release date of One Piece Live-Action.

The cast for My Hero Academia's live-action Netflix film has also been kept under wraps.

We anticipate a diverse cast of talented young people playing fan-favorite characters such as Todoroki, Bakugo, and Deku.

The same can be said for the U.A. teachers and the other Pro Heroes depicted in both anime and manga.

Surprisingly, some alleged cast members of the live-action film have been listed on IMDB and were then removed shortly.

We will update this space with the official cast list of the My Hero Academia live-action film once it is announced!
