The official website for the anime My Hero Academia Movie 4 released a new key visual on June 12, 2024. The visual featured several main characters who will play a role in the movie’s storyline, and was created by the film’s character designer.

In August 2023, it was announced that the fourth movie in the series will be animated by the same studio as the original anime series. In May 2024, the casting for the film was revealed. The release date for the movie is scheduled for August 5, 2024, and it will feature a villain portrayed by the same voice actor as All Might.

The most recent key visual was created by Yoshihiko Magoe, the movie’s character designer. The visual featured Class 1-A students from U.A. High School, as well as Pro Heroes Endeavor and Hawks.

The figure featured in the backdrop of the key visual was none other than All Might, striking his iconic pose following his intense battle against All for One. Despite emerging victorious, the hero’s attempt to transform into his muscular form proved unsuccessful, leaving him in his weakened state. In a moment of defeat, he uttered the following words:

“You’re Next.”

The latest key visual, which excludes the main antagonist Dark Might, could serve as the poster for the movie and may have drawn inspiration from these words, solidifying its role as the latest confirmation for the film. However, it cannot be deemed as the final poster for the series.

As the release of My Hero Academia Movie 4 is almost 2 months away, an official synopsis for the film has yet to be disclosed. However, author Kohei Horikoshi has shared that the movie will occur following the conflict between the Paranormal Liberation Front and the heroes in season 6.

The focal point of the movie revolves around Dark Might, the primary antagonist. His goal is to ruin the reputation of All Might, who has dedicated years to serving as a hero.
