Justin Lin is set to direct Sony's live-action adaptation of the hit manga 'One Punch Man'.
The wheels of Hollywood are moving fast. Barely two months after announcing his shocking exit from Fast X – the tenth installment in the Fast & Furious saga – Justin Lin has been announced as the director for a highly anticipated manga and anime adaptation. As Deadline reveals, Sony has tapped Lin to helm a live-action adaptation of One Punch Man, one of the most popular anime series from the last ten years or so.
Lin has already put his geek knowledge to work several times across his career. He directed the famous paintball episodes from TV series Community and recently directed Star Trek Beyond, the latest installment in the sci-fi movie franchise. However, the director rose to prominence in the Fast & Furious saga, having directed five entries in the film series.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY The One Punch Man live-action adaptation will be written by Scott Rosenberg and Jeff Pinkner, both of whom have titles in their filmography that suggest it’s way too early to assume whether they’ll do a good job or not. Pinkner rose to prominence by writing episodes from popular and fan-favorite series like Alias and Lost, but he also penned the widely criticized adaptation of Stephen King’s The Dark Tower.
Created by ONE and first published in 2009, the story quickly became popular because it imagined another side of the super-hero universe: An all-powerful individual who is just bored with not having any challenges in life. In the story, Saitama gets increasingly frustrated each time he fights a new enemy, because he always can defeat them with a punch. An anime adaptation was quickly ordered, and Season 2 premiered in 2019.
Sony is yet to reveal further details from One Punch Man, including a cast and expected release window.
