OnePunchMan is getting a live-action movie adaptation with Fast 9 director Justin Lin at the helm.
Justin Lin, known for his work with the Fast and Furious franchise, is set to direct the live-action movie adaptation of the beloved manga and anime series One-Punch Man. Lin had been preparing to direct Fast X, which would have been his sixth film in the billion-dollar series, but he left the project after production began due to creative differences. Now, the action director is heading in a much different direction.
One-Punch Man is a manga created in 2009 by ONE, a Japanese artist, as a webcomic, and it was published physically in 2012. It quickly became popular in Japan and spread around the world. The English edition was published in 2015, and and the first and second volumes made the New York Times Manga Bestsellers list, as well as garnering an Eisner and a Harvey Award nomination. One-Punch Man follows Saitama, a superhero so strong he can defeat any enemy with just one punch.
Since Lin has a lot of experience directing action films, his involvement in One-Punch Man should make fans of the manga very hopeful. Despite mixed critical responses to several of his films, they have grossed hundreds of millions of dollars. With memorable fight sequences throughout, Lin's movies are entertaining and action-packed.
After Lin's departure from Fast X, Louis Leterrier stepped in to complete filming. Now, Lin has the chance to take a new franchise in his own direction, laying the groundwork for possible future films rather than taking over from other filmmakers for subsequent installments. It is a unique opportunity for Lin, and his skills are well-suited for the needs of a live-action adaptation of One-Punch Man.
