Netflix collaborates with Legendary for adaptation of 'My Hero Academia'

Netflix has partnered with Legendary Entertainment to produce and distribute the film adaptation of the live-action manga series, ‘My Hero Academia’. E.P. Shinsuke Sato is the director. Joby Harold is the screenwriter for the series.

Mary Parent and Alex Garcia will produce the manga series from Legendary Entertainment.

The story of the manga series: My Hero Academia.

The new animé series ‘My Hero Academia’ follows the stories of many varied characters who face difficulties in high school. It is a dystopian story where more than eighty percent of the Earth's population exhibits special power or talent. This extraordinary ability is referred to as a quirk in the manga series.




The main character, who is a superhero fanboy named Izuku Midoriya (also known as Deku), however, is born without any extraordinary talent or quirk. This lack of ability almost shatters his lifelong goal of going to the U.A. (inverted kanji for Hero) High School. This school is the most popular and dignified one among the hero training academies.

But fate helps Deku to meet All Might due to a lucky encounter. It prompts Deku to become one of the greatest heroes the world has ever seen.
