Netflix’s Troubled ‘My Hero Academia’ Live-Action Movie Reportedly Now a TV Series, ‘Alice in Borderland’ Director Attached
Shocking everyone, Netflix announced a My Hero Academia live-action remake last year. And while a big portion of the anime community was celebrating this news, some were not so happy about it.
The main reason behind their apprehensiveness was nothing but Netflix’s past record with live-action remakes of popular anime series. Seemingly, proving that worry, an IMDb update of the alleged all-White cast list garnered a lot of backlash because of the blatant race swap.
However, although nothing has been confirmed yet on that front, there is a new rumor making rounds, that is finally giving some hope to the fans.

My Hero Academia live-action to become a TV series
Ever since its announcement, there have been a lot of rumors following this new My Hero Academia project. While some have been pretty exciting for the fans, some only seemed to evoke distress. For example, a few days ago, there was a cast list update on IMDb, which consisted of only White actors for every character on the show.

Starting with David Mazouz playing Izuku Midoriya, Jace Norman playing Katsuki Bakugo, Isaac Hempstead as Tenya Iida, and Graham Verchere as Shoto Todoroki, the list went on featuring more White actors playing all these roles with their names, and backstories unchanged.
This obviously sent the fans into a rage with most asking for Kohei Horikoshi’s story and the characters to be changed completely, even though nothing has since been confirmed. However, there is yet another new rumor that is making waves around the block.
And unlike the previous one, this finally is giving some hope to the fandom. Basically, someone claimed that the My Hero Academia live-action is allegedly going to become a TV series.
