Anime fans are starting to wonder if they will ever get to see the Naruto live-action movie that was once promised following a disappointing update. The project, an adaptation of the classic shonen manga which was then turned into one of the best anime series of all time, was first announced in February 2024 with Marvel director Destin Daniel Cretton set to direct.
Close to two years later, the film's co-writer Tasha Huo has revealed there are "no new updates" on the adaptation. Speaking to ScreenRant, Huo acknowledged Cretton's busy schedule with the MCU, which includes the upcoming Disney Plus series Wonder Man (directing and developing several episodes), Spider-Man: Brand New Day, and a potential sequel to Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.
