One day, the greatest hero of all time shall rise, ready to take down all evil that stands before them.
Earlier today, the My Hero Academia movie’s official Twitter account updated with a new key visual for the title’s upcoming feature film, as well as its full title.
The film will be titled My Hero Academia THE MOVIE: Futari no Hero (My Hero Academia the Movie: The Two Heroes) when it hits theaters on August 3.
