“ONE PUNCH MAN” began as a series on a website back in 2009 and would later be illustrated via manga by Murata Yusuke. The popular series would receive an anime adaptation in 2015 and a second season in 2019.  The film will be produced by Sony Pictures and will be written by Scott Rosenberg and Jeff Pinkner who worked on “Venom.  Avi Arad who also worked on “Venom” is said to be the producer.

Comments on SNS were as follows:

I wonder if the character Saitama will be renamed as Washington.

I’m looking forward to it being a live-action film like “Veonom”

Will it star Will Smith?
