The initial writer of the live-action Naruto movie has given an exciting update on the project, as well as praising director Destin Daniel Cretton.
The live-action movie, an adaptation of the classic shonen manga (which was later turned into a 220-episode anime), wasfirst announced in Februaryand sees Cretton take on the project alongside his Marvel work.
“I think that’s such a cool choice because he’s going to be able to capture how nuanced and special Naruto is without getting distracted by the big world that it is, which I think could easily be done by someone who’s not a fan or someone who’s coming in for a cash payday,” Huo said. “This is definitely a movie that comes at it from a love of who Naruto is and that character and his relationships.”
