Legendary Pictures adds to its ultra-geek movie catalog with a live adaptation of My hero academy. Deadline reports that the company has started developing for the big screen the manga Kohei Horikoshi.

Horikoshi's shonen manga and Bones' highly successful anime adaptation have inflamed the world in recent years, thanks to their typically Japanese take on Western-style superheroes, blending high school drama – to following an elite teenage class training for the next generation of leading superheroes in a world where 80% of the population was born with powers known as "Quirks", with an action with high octane number. Inspired by Marvel, DC, Super Sentai, Ultraman and many other super heroic predecessors, this series celebrates the true joys of super heroic stories and their tropes. In a modernized, grounded era takes the cartoon heroes dominating the blockbusters market, something as wildly splashy and hyperkinetic My hero academy could be the over-the-top, one-for-all-powered smash the superhero movie genre has to stay fresh.

Although there is still no scriptwriter or director attached, Alex Garcia and Jay Ashenfelter will produce the project for Legendary and Ryosuke Yoritomi will produce for Shueisha, the Japanese company to which the franchise belongs.

Legendary is currently in production on a Detective Pikachu live-action movie and produced the famous Pacific Rim movies, which are about as close to the real action anime. The company also manufactured Christopher Nolan Black Knight movies, Zack Snyder's guardians, the Jurassic World movies, Warcraftand the new Godzilla and Kong movies. If any where was the right choice for a story like this, it's legendary.
