This article contains spoilers for the My Hero Academia series.
After an incredibly successful run, My Hero Academia’s end is edging closer and fans know that it'll be over very soon. My Hero Academia Season 8 is currently airing, and it will mark the end of Deku's journey, which is quite a sad day for fans of the beloved superhero franchise. With the anime of My Hero Academia ending, it is no surprise to know that fans are wondering what the next step will be for the franchise. While nothing is confirmed, many believe a new sequel movie could be in the works.
My Hero Academia Anime Is Officially Ending, But A New Big Project Is Confirmed
MHA season 8 is the final season of the anime, but a new project is brewing.
A big announcement is coming for My Hero Academia at Jump Festa, and a brand-new movie covering the events following the War, after Deku and the others became Pro Heroes, could be in the books for the series. This sequel movie could be set up by the special OVA episode that was announced recently, and if it happens, it will be a huge source of excitement for the fans.
My Hero Academia Could Return With A Movie
Fans of My Hero Academia have known for a while now that their favorite series is ending soon. The MHA manga ended in 2024, and whatever is left of the manga is currently being adapted into MHA Season 8. There’s definitely some excitement among the fans to see how the MHA story ends, but many aren’t ready to part ways with the franchise just yet.
Luckily for MHA fans, there is some hope for a new project after the end of Season 8. Jump Festa will unfold in December, and MHA will have its own stage. With no more anime and manga, this stage has to be about something completely different, and many believe it could be a new movie. The latest My Hero Academia movie released in 2024, titled My Hero Academia: You're Next. Fans are more than ready for a new movie, especially after the end of the anime and the manga.
New My Hero Academia Movie Could Cover Events After The Timeskip
If My Hero Academia does get a movie announcement during Jump Festa, this could easily be the biggest step for the franchise. While nothing is yet confirmed, a new movie would be loved by all fans, especially since it can only cover one thing, and that is content about the events following the War where Deku and the others become Pro Heroes.
My Hero Academia Officially Has A New Replacement For All Might As No. 1 Hero
All Might is no longer the number 1 hero in Japan and has been replaced by this character in MHA.
Horikoshi has never shied away from doing canon anime movies. He's worked with Studio Bones in the past. Working with Horikoshi, the studio could create a new story where Deku and the other new Pro Heroes face a big threat together. This would be the perfect opportunity for the power of adult Class 1-A to be showcased.
This movie could be where Izuku Midoriya finally reaches the rank of #1 Hero in Japan after he recently reached the rank of #4 Hero in the latest oneshot. Deku is already a great Hero, but seeing him reach the top would be incredibly fun, and that would be something fans would love to see unfold.
My Hero Academia Season 8 Special Episode 12 Could Set Up The Movie
My Hero Academia Season 8, previously believed to only have 11 episodes, has actually been revealed to have one more special episode on the way.

An OVA episode, referred to as episode 12, is coming, and it could be where the next MHA sequel movie is set up. My Hero Academia Season 8 Episode 12 might adapt MHA chapter 431, or it could do something unique and give fans new content.
The Future Of My Hero Academia After Season 8
While the sequel movie is only a rumor and nothing has been confirmed, MHA does have some other confirmed projects that are coming in the next few years.
This is the story of how we all became the greatest Heroes! — Izuku Midoriya
My Hero Academia: Vigilantes was a hit this year, and it will be returning with its second season in 2026. Fans are looking forward to it and more seasons could definitely follow for Vigilantes.
My Hero Academia also has a Netflix project in the works. Netflix is making a live-action movie for MHA, and while some fans are skeptical, it will still be interesting to see what they can do with the franchise.

WHERE TO WATCH
In My Hero Academia, some humans have superpowers called quirks. Izuku Midoriya, nicknamed Deku, is not one of them. Deku has always idolized heroes like the number one hero, All Might, and since he was a child, he has always wanted to be a hero. However, his lack of a quirk has always held him back, but a chance encounter with All Might after discovering a classmate in danger sets Deku on the path to becoming a true hero. My Hero Academia centers around Deku and a class of heroes-in-training at UA. This school shapes young quirk users into future heroes through fake rescue missions, combat training, and other hero-tempering tasks. With young Deku inheriting the "One-For-All" quirk, he will learn what it means to be a true hero while facing off with dastardly supervillains.
