My Hero Academia: You’re Next is the fourth film in the franchise to be produced, and achieved over 2.3 billion yen at the Japanese box office when it released earlier this year. The film also sees the original manga author, Kohei Horikoshi, as chief supervisor and designer of the new original characters with Tensai Okamua as director and animation produced by STUDIO BONES.
Synopsis: In a society where heroes and villains continuously battle in the name of peace and chaos, Deku, a U.A. High School student who aspires to be the best hero he can be, confronts the villain who imitates the hero he’s long admired. Can Deku and the rest of U.A. High Class 1-A protect the world by putting an end to Dark Might, the man claiming to be the new Symbol of Peace?
My Hero Academia: You’re Next is expected to be available in cinemas across UK and Ireland from 18th October 2024, although it could also be available in UK cinemas as early as 11th October 2024 (which is the date of the US Cinema release) based on this social media post.
