The popular manga and anime series had already received an official stage play years prior. The musical “My Hero Academia: The ‘Ultra’ Stage” debuted in 2019. After its success, there was a second stage play in the works. This second play had a planned 2020 release date. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many of the show’s performances were cancelled. And while attempts have been made to get the show running, whether it be live or through online means, the musical’s future had been uncertain for a long period of time.
Finally, after such a turbulent period, the show’s official website has announced that My Hero Academia The ‘Ultra’ Stage Honmono no Hero: PLUS ULTRA ver.” will be live in the Tokyo Dome City Hall from December 3 to 12, 2021, then at The Kyoto Theater from December 24 to 26.
Furthermore, there was also news surrounding the show’s cast! Naoki Takeshi and Tasuku Yoshioka are new additions to the cast, playing Tenya Ida and All Might respectively. They will be replacing Hiroki Iino and Tsuyoshi Hayashi, both of whom are confirmed to be graduating. The rest of the cast will remain unchanged. This means that the likes of Shin Tamura, Ryota Kobayashi, and Ryo Kitamura will be reprising their roles as Deku, Bakugo, and Todoroki respectively.
It finally looks like there’s going to be some light at the end of the tunnel for these lot though! Hopefully, by the time December rolls around, the show gets its moment to smash it and go Plus Ultra once again!
