Honestly?

It does not convince me at all.

I think they will only keep some basic plot points (80% of humanity has quirks, protagonist is quirkless and meets the No.1 hero from whom he gets OFA, training to become the new No.1 hero) and scrap everything else like the school part or 95% of the characters. They will most likely make the characters older, have everything take place in an american city and tone down the bone breaking of the 100% OFA smashes to geet a PG-13 rating.

What? There will be one? Huh, I don't like this.

Doing live-action on these kinds of movies isn't easy.Gonna be Trainwreck most probably.

It all depends on the outcome. I mean, look at Bleach. I don’t know what you guys think about the movie but so far I’m liking it.

Always a bad idea.
