Beyond saying that he is "actively" working on the film, Harold stated: "I can speak to the fact that it is live-action and I think that's probably all I can speak to, but it's a big deal in my life. I'm really enjoying it...
"It's amazing. It's an amazing opportunity and I'm really excited about it."
My Hero Academia began life as a manga before being turned into an anime, both of which are still ongoing.
The story takes place in a world where nearly everyone has superpowers, except for protagonist Izuku Midoriya. He desperately desired to become a hero, and lucks out when the legendary All Might decides to take him under his wing.

"After having been through so much and learning so many things, who will Deku and his friends fight against this time? What will they protect?!"
