Production[edit]
In April 2020, it was announced Sony Pictures was adapting One Punch Man into a film, with Scott Rosenberg and Jeff Pinkner writing, and Avi Arad and Ari Arad producing.[1] In June 2022, Justin Lin was hired to direct and co-write alongside Rosenberg and Pinkner, with the intention of beginning production by the end of 2022.[2] In April 2024, the film was confirmed to still be in development with Lin still set as director and the script being rewritten by Dan Harmon and Heather Anne Campbell.[3]
