The Big Picture After a pretty long time without any news from the live-action movie based on the One Punch Man manga and anime series, we finally know what’s going on with the project. The good news is, it’s still alive inside the Sony offices but… It’s still in the early stages. This weekend, Rick and Morty writer Heather Anne Campbell confirmed on X that she’s been called on for re-writes along with fellow Rick and Morty alum and Community creator and writer Dan Harmon.
The duo of writers is also excellent at pairing up comedy and action. In Community, Harmon was the mastermind behind the famous paintball competition episodes that were always the standout of the season — and they also paid homage to cinema classics such as Star Wars and A Fistful of Dollars — and Campbell wrote up scenarios of absolute chaos, time-travel, aliens and multiverses in several Rick and Morty episodes.
One Punch Man was originally published as a webcomic that rose to popularity to become one of the best-selling mangas ever. It was created by One and tells the story of a superhero who has a unique ability: He can defeat any enemy with a single punch, which ends up making him bored because he never has a challenge. The anime series is currently on hiatus and production is underway for Season 3.
