My Hero Academia: Two Heroes Cinema Release Expanding
Manga Entertainment has Tweeted that its upcoming cinema release of the film My Hero Academia: Two
Heroes is
expanding, with venues added in London, Manchester, Newcastle, Aberdeen and
elsewhere. In addition, some venues are extending their runs of the film.
All screening
details can be found at http://myheroacademiamovie.co.uk/, with the subtitled
version screening from Tuesday December 4 and the English-dubbed version from
Wednesday December 5.
Manga adds that
the film has been rated '15' by the BBFC. The BBFC page says that the reasons are the film's strong violence and
bloody images. The more detailed BBFC description, with mild spoilers, is as
follows:
'There are
infrequent shootings, resulting in strong bloody detail. Milder violence
includes explosive battles between superpowered characters, with occasional
sight of blood on their faces or, at one point, streaming from a character's
mouth. Several characters are knocked out by blows to their heads... There is
occasional mild bad language ('bastard', 'crap', 'ass'), as well as infrequent
mild sex references and a passing reference to drugs."
Funimation has described the story:
The climactic finals are over, and U.A. is getting ready for the
summer training camp. Deku and All Might receive an invitation from a certain
person to go overseas to a giant artificial moving city called I-Island. This
island, a kind of “science Hollywood” that gathers the knowledge of scientists
from around the world, is holding an exhibition called I-Expo showcasing the
results of Quirk and hero item research. In the midst of all this, Deku meets a
Quirkless girl named Melissa and remembers his own Quirkless past. Out of the
blue, the impregnable security system the island boasts is hacked by villains,
and all the people on the island are taken as hostages! Now, a plan that could
shake hero society has been put into motion! The man who holds the key to it
all is the number one hero and Symbol of Peace, All Might.
Original manga creator Kōhei Horikoshi is credited with the
original work, character designs, and as chief supervisor. Returning staff
members included director Kenji Nagasaki at BONES, scriptwriter Yousuke Kuroda, character designer Yoshihiko Umakoshi, and composer Yuki Hayashi. TOHO distributed the film in Japan. Masaki Suda performed the film's theme
song "Long Hope Philia." amazarashi's Hiromu
