Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT One-Punch Man's live-action adaptation has received a new update, revealing the script is getting a rewrite from the creator of Rick and Morty, alongside a writer from the animated comedy. The original manga created by One is a superhero comedy series about Saitama, a man who can defeat his enemies with a single punch. It was adapted into an anime beginning in 2015, with season 3 also confirmed.
Now, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed the live-action One-Punch Man movie is getting a rewrite from Rick and Morty creator Dan Harmon and fellow writer on the animated comedy Heather Anne Campbell. Harmon and Campbell replace Scott Rosenberg and Jeff Pinkner, who were announced to be writing the film in 2020. The two comedy writers now in charge are a reflection of what to expect from the upcoming adaptation.
Would One-Punch Man Be A Good Live-Action Movie? The two writers in charge have a history with comedy that make them strong choices to be in charge of the One-Punch Man movie. Beyond his work on his current show, Harmon has created other comedic series like Community, HarmonQuest, and Krapopolis. Campbell was a writer for The Eric Andre Show and the sitcom Corporate, where she briefly appeared as a character.
The news follows a trailer in February for One-Punch Man season 3. Both pieces of news are indicative of how much the series has been growing as of late, and how it will continue to maintain traction in the public eye for the future. However, given the number of superheroes featured in the comedy, coupled with massive action sequences, a live-action movie could be a downgrade compared to the manga.
