As the anticipation builds for the upcoming fourth season of My Hero Academia, fans were treated to a peek of what’s to come with a new trailer revealing the main villain, a character bearing a striking resemblance to All Might, and the plot.

Known for its action-packed sequences and stunning animation, the series’ movies have always delivered, and it appears that the producers have upped the ante with an unexpected antagonist for the upcoming film.

The official My Hero Academia movies’ X/Twitter account shared a brief teaser video of the movie titled “You’re Next.”

Class 1-A and the professional heroes find themselves facing off against yet another formidable villain, this time in the form of Dark Might, a doppelgänger of All Might himself.

While his abilities and motives remain shrouded in mystery, he poses a potentially monumental challenge for Deku, perhaps surpassing even the formidable foes like Wolfram that he’s encountered before.

Dark Might: A Cinematic Journey into Turbulent Times

“My Hero Academia: You’re Next” proceeds its narrative in the aftermath of the Paranormal Liberation arc, within a society skeptical of heroes following the tumultuous conflict between villains and heroes. Suddenly, a colossal fortress emerges, engulfing civilians and prompting the heroes to investigate.

To their astonishment, they discover that the mastermind behind this chaos is a man who bears an uncanny resemblance to the Symbol of Peace, All Might, accompanied by his associates. Thus, another epic battle ensues, promising a cinematic experience not to be missed.

Based on the trailers, it appears that Dark Might idolizes All Might but misinterprets his message after the clash at Kamino, wrongly believing himself to be the hero All Might spoke of, when in fact, it was Midoriya.

Dark Might’s abilities seem to involve capturing individuals and harnessing their quirks or life force to enhance his own powers, nearly rivaling All Might in physical prowess. His ability to effortlessly subdue Midoriya, who possesses multiple quirks, suggests formidable strength, posing a formidable challenge for the heroes.

The year 2024 has seen significant milestones for My Hero Academia, with the manga surpassing 100 million copies in circulation and the commencement of Season 7 of the anime in May.

While “You’re Next” may not be canon like its predecessors, it presents an intriguing premise that sheds light on key aspects of the canonical storyline.

The My Hero Academia movies have consistently achieved great success, with the third installment grossing approximately $50 million. Coupled with its stunning visuals and animation, the anticipation for this upcoming film is palpable.
