My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising (Boku no Hero Academia the Movie -Heroes: Rising-) will open in cinemas in the U.K. and Ireland on Wednesday February 26. There will be further screenings on Thursday February 27, and some cinemas will also show the film on later dates. There will be both dubbed and subitled screenings. The official website listing venues and booking links is at https://mhaheroesrising.co.uk/.
Funimation describes the film:
Class 1-A visits Nabu Island where they finally get to do some real hero work. The place is so peaceful that it's more like a vacation … until they're attacked by a villain with an unfathomable Quirk! His power is eerily familiar, and it looks like Shigaraki had a hand in the plan. But with All Might retired and citizens' lives on the line, there's no time for questions. Deku and his friends are the next generation of heroes, and they're the island's only hope.
The movie's guest cast include:
- Tomoyo Kurosawa as Mahoro
- Yuka Terasaki as Katsuma
- Yoshio Inoue as Nine
- Mio Imada as Slice
- Kōsuke Toriumi as Mummy
- Shunsuke Takeuchi as Chimera
Additionally, Yūichi Nakamura will voice Hawks in the character's anime debut.
The film sumika are performing the theme song "Higher Ground."
Theatergoers in Japan will receive an exclusive short Boku no Hero Academia Vol. R (My Hero Academia Vol. Rising) as a bonus while supplies last.
Horikoshi previously teased that the film will be the last one for the My Hero Academia. That is because its story uses one of the concepts he had wanted to use in the manga's final battle. As such, he proclaimed that the second film will be more "Plus Ultra" than even the first one.
