The upcoming My Hero Academia film has unveiled its trailer, visual, title, and premiere date. Titled "My Hero Academia the Movie: You're Next," the film is set to hit theaters in Japan on August 2. Directed by Tensai Okamura (known for Darker than Black) at BONES, the movie features familiar faces from the TV series and previous films, including scriptwriter Yōsuke Kuroda, character designer Yoshihiko Umakoshi, and composer Yuki Hayashi.

Original manga creator Kōhei Horikoshi will serve as the general supervisor and original character designer for the film, which will present an original storyline unfolding concurrently with the current TV anime.
