For those who don't remember, in the 2022 It was confirmed by Sony Pictures that a live action movie of the popular manga One Punch Man was already in production, this made some sense to many fans, given that the franchise has become big to the point of having its own video games. However, it has been almost two years since the footage was revealed and not much information has come out about it, but it seems that this silence has just ended.
According to what has been mentioned by media such as Hollywood Reporter, two great directors of the Rick & Morty franchise will now be helping with the project, these are Dan Harmon and Heather Anne Campbell, and this is because those who were already confirmed have left their positions. It is not yet mentioned what would have led to such a decision, but whenever these situations happen it is usually a conflict over money or creative differences.
Here is a description of the saga:
“One Punch Man” is a popular manga and anime series that was created by artist ONE as a webcomic in 2009. The story was so well received that it was adapted into a manga illustrated by Yusuke Murata in 2012, and later became in an anime series in 2015.
The series follows Saitama, an extremely powerful hero who can defeat any opponent with a single punch, hence the name “One Punch Man.” Despite his great power, Saitama faces an existential crisis as his abilities have left him unable to find strong emotions or a true challenge in fights, leading him to feel perpetually bored and disillusioned with his life as a warrior. hero.
The world is full of superheroes and villains, and is organized by the Hero Association, which classifies heroes into different levels and assigns them to fight threats that appear regularly. Throughout the series, Saitama interacts with several other heroes and characters, including his disciple Genos, a cyborg who seeks revenge against another cyborg who destroyed his village.
He is known for his satirical and often humorous approach to common tropes of superhero and shōnen manga series. He parodies many of the genre's clichés and formulas, such as the extensive explanations of powers and dramatic transformations. Despite its often light and comedic tone, the series also addresses deeper themes such as monotony, isolation, and the search for purpose.
For now there is no information about the release date or when we will see a trailer.

Author's note: The series is still popular, but not as popular as before, so if the movie comes out it could return the era of glory for this manga, adding to this that a new season of the anime is already on the way.
