My Hero Academia Sequel 'I Am a Hero Too' Announced: Who Should Play Your Favorite Heroes?
via ScreenRant
A brand-new chapter in the My Hero Academia universe is officially on the way. According to ScreenRant, a sequel film titled I Am a Hero Too has been announced, adding to one of anime's most beloved franchises and immediately reigniting fan conversations about who should bring these iconic characters to life.
Why This Announcement Has the Fancasting Community Buzzing
My Hero Academia has one of the most passionate fandoms in entertainment, and any new installment — film or otherwise — throws open the doors to fresh casting speculation. Whether I Am a Hero Too expands on existing characters or introduces a new generation of heroes and villains, the roster of potential roles is exactly the kind of puzzle that fancasting communities live for. Who carries a Quirk powerful enough to lead a movie? Which actors have the physicality, charisma, and emotional range to step into U.A. Academy's hallowed halls? The debate is already underway.
What myCast Fans Are Already Saying
The myCast community hasn't been sleeping on this franchise. Across multiple active fan-cast stories for My Hero Academia, fans have been building out surprisingly deep rosters — and some of the picks are genuinely compelling.
In the most expansive story on the platform, spanning 62 roles, fans have tapped Asher Angel as Izuku Midoriya, which makes a lot of sense — he's got the earnest, underdog energy that Deku demands. Jace Norman is the pick for Katsuki Bakugo, a choice that leans into Norman's ability to project intensity even in lighter projects. Perhaps the most talked-about pick in that story is Ochaco Uraraka, where Asa Enami leads with 2 votes — the most of any single pick across the story. For the larger-than-life All Might, fans went big with Henry Cavill, and honestly, it's hard to argue with that kind of physical presence and charm. Louis Partridge as Eijiro Kirishima is another standout — there's something about his intensity that fits the unbreakable hero perfectly.
Over in a separate My Hero Academia fan cast with 15 roles filled out, the vision shifts in interesting ways. Joel Courtney earns the Midoriya nod there, while Lana Condor — a genuinely inspired choice — is the pick for Uraraka. The villain slots are where this story really shines: Evan Peters as Tomura Shigaraki is almost too perfect, and pairing him with Josh Brolin as All For One creates a menacing one-two punch. Chris Hemsworth as Toshinori Yagi (the man behind All Might) is a crowd-pleasing pick that practically casts itself.
The Casting Case Worth Making
What's fascinating about comparing these two fan casts is how differently people interpret the same characters depending on whether they're thinking about a grounded live-action adaptation or something more stylized. The Hemsworth/Cavill debate for All Might alone could fuel an entire comment section. Both actors bring the sheer physical scale the character demands, but Hemsworth's natural warmth and humor arguably captures All Might's boisterous public persona, while Cavill's more stoic gravity might suit the character's tragic private side.
With I Am a Hero Too now officially in the conversation, there's never been a better time to stake your claim on who belongs in this universe. The existing stories are a great starting point, but a new film means potentially new characters — and new roles that haven't been cast yet, even in the fancast world.
