Third My Hero Academia Movie Announced For October
In the most recent arc of the My Hero Academia anime, Deku, Bakugo, Todoroki and their new friend Rody have been interning at the Pro Hero Endeavor Agency, building up some superhero experience for school credit. The arc just ended now, but here’s a chapter you didn’t see: World Heroes’ Mission, the subject of the third My Hero Academia movie.
Deku and Rody discover they have been framed for a major crime, but that’s just the beginning of a larger problem. While on the run, they discover a sinister plot from Humarise to eliminate all the Quirks in the world! They’re now fighting not just to save themselves, but all superheroes (and all supervillains, technically). As is typical for a movie spinoff of an ongoing anime series (except for Demon Slayer), the events of World Heroes’ Mission are epic in scope but will ultimately have no effect on the regular series or even be mentioned there. You just kinda forget about these things!
My Hero Academia: World Heroes’ Mission was directed by Kenji Nagasaki and animated by Bones, as the previous two movies were. The cast is also the same:
Izuku Midoriya – Justin Briner (English), Daiki Yamashita (Japanese)
Katsuki Bakugo – Clifford Chapin (English), Nobuhiko Okamoto (Japanese)
Shoto Todoroki – David Matranga (English), Yuki Kaji (Japanese)
Endeavor – Patrick Seitz (English), Tetsu Inada (Japanese)
Flect Turn – Robbie Daymond (English), Kazuya Nakai (Japanese)
Pino – Cristina Vee (English), Megumi Hayashibara (Japanese)
Rody Soul – Ryan Colt Levy (English), Ryo Yoshizawa (Japanese)
You can catch My Hero Academia: World Heroes’ Mission in any of 1,500 theaters nationwide when it opens October 29. Here’s the trailer…
