Deadline:

Legendary said Wednesday it plans to adapt Kohei Horikoshi’s manga franchise My Hero Academia into a live-action feature film. It joins a slate at the company that includes the feature film Detective Pikachu based on the Pokemon franchise

My friends who know manga/anime better than I do say that this is kind of an obvious layup for a successful adaptation.

Based on what I see at conventions, there’s certainly a fervent fanbase. They just gotta stick the landing.
