The same movie company behind Venom and both modern Jumanji movies are planning to write and produce a live-action movie version of One-Punch Man. This movie will be worked on by Arad Productions and have story writers Scott Rosenberg and Jeff Pinkner. These people has worked in movies made from Sony. Sony has hopes for this movie and wants to add another franchise to other future projects.

  1. This could be potentially be good, given how popular superhero films are at the moment, but history has taught us that live action anime adaptations from Hollywood tend to suck.

    • Yeah that’s true. It’s a gamble. It’s could be good since it is about superheroes, but it also from a manga and anime and that could be a huge risk. Hollywood has given us some bad ones that is too hard to forget.
