Third 'Boku no Hero Academia' Anime Film Announced for Summer 2021

The official website of the Boku no Hero Academia (My Hero Academia) anime series announced a third anime film on Monday. The film, tentatively titled Boku no Hero Academia: The Movie 3, will open in Japan in Summer 2021.

Production staff returning for the third film at animation studio Bones include Kenji Nagasaki (Boku no Hero Academia the Movie: Futari no Hero), scriptwriter Yousuke Kuroda (Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online), character designer Yoshihiko Umakoshi (Majo Minarai wo Sagashite), and music composer Yuuki Hayashi (Karakuri Circus). Original manga creator Kouhei Horikoshi is serving as the chief supervisor.

Drawing inspiration from his 2008 Boku no Hero (My Hero) one-shot, Horikoshi began the action superhero manga in Weekly Shounen Jump in July 2014. Shueisha published the 28th volume on September 4, with the 29th volume scheduled for release on January 4, 2021. Boku no Hero Academia has a cumulative 28 million copies of its compiled volumes in print.

The 13-episode first television anime aired in Spring 2016, followed by the second, third, and fourth seasons in Spring 2017, Spring 2018, and Fall 2019, respectively—each running for 25 episodes. The Futari no Hero and Heroes:Rising side-story films opened in Japan in August 2018 and last December. A fifth anime season is scheduled to premiere in Spring 2021 (pictured right).

VIZ Media licensed the manga in English through its Shounen Jump imprint in February 2015 and serialized it in their digital Weekly Shonen Jump magazine till it discontinued. The company's new Shounen Jump platform now simulpublishes the manga with the Japanese release. The 25th volume was shipped on October.
