After not getting a tangible update in over a year, producer Joby Harold toldColliderthat the film is actively being worked on. “Yes, it is,” Harold said when asked if it was still in the works. “Absolutely. It is something I’m working on and loving working on. I’m excited to do it and get it out there. It’s a big one.”
While he couldn’t reveal which part of the My Hero Academia franchise they’ll be focusing on, he said: “I can speak to the fact that it is live-action and I think that’s probably all I can speak to, but it’s a big deal in my life. I’m really enjoying it… It’s amazing. It’s an amazing opportunity and I’m really excited about it.”
