Naruto has been one of the favourite shows of most anime watchers. And now there is an update that can make any Naruto fan jump with joy. Rumours have it that the franchise is going to get a live action movie. According to a report by The Hollywood Reporter, the Naruto Live Action Movie will be directed by Marvel Studios Shang Chi fame Destin Daniel Cretton.
Rumour mills are churning that he has been hired to showcase Naruto in live action. The same report suggested that Masashi Kishimoto has shown a green flag to Destin Daniel Cretton in order to move forward with the live action adaptation. Moving forward in this article, we will talk about all the aspects related to the Naruto live action movie and how soon we can expect it to release.
Is Naruto Live Action Movie going to take the franchise forward?
Well, according to me, you will get mixed reactions to this question. The main reason behind that is there have been a lot of live action adaptions of some of the best anime shows, and they have failed miserably to prove their mantle. For example, the Death Note live adaptation was a disaster, and the fans don’t even want to address its existence.
However, considering the capability of the director (keeping his work as a director for Marvel Studios’ Shang Chi in mind), it can be said that the movie could be a promising addition to the Naruto franchise. Moreover, the recent success of the OnePiece live adaptation has already raised the expectations of the fans. The only thing that I (or all Naruto fans) want right now is to get a movie that is able to match the greatness of the anime.
Naruto Live Action Movie: Where it all started?
Naruto Live Action Movie was first announced by Lionsgate in 2015. Nevertheless, the project was never able to attain pace, so things were getting delayed repeatedly. There was a time when fans thought that the project was not on the cards.
Nonetheless, the addition of a new crew has again filled us all with hopes. Still, we cannot say that the project will be completed super soon. And one thing which we all will agree with is that good things take time. So, there is a possibility that we will get a Naruto Live Action Movie so promising that it will be beyond our expectations (at least we can pray together and be optimistic; there is no need to laugh).
Naruto Live Action Movie release date and time
The information regarding the upcoming Naruto project is pretty limited. Speculations are that we will get to see the movie in a couple of years. However, there has been no official confirmation regarding the release of the Naruto movie.
So, the readers are suggested to take all the information with a truckload of salt. That being said, we can get to see more updates related to the movie rolling out as soon as there is an official confirmation from the franchise. Until then, you can also give a try to a new age anime, Ninja Kamui, that is creating a lot of buzz in the industry.
