After years in full silence, Akira 's Live-action finally gained a positive signal. In a recent interview with Moovy TV , producer Andrew Lazar revealed that important news should be released “in the coming months”, rekindling the hope of fans of the classic cyberpunk.

The project continues under the direction of Taika Waititi , filmmaker known for works such as Thor: Ragnarok , Thor: Love and Thunder and the award -winning Jojo Rabbit . The production also has Leonardo DiCaprio as a producer, which reinforces the weight of the team involved. Despite the countless attempts to adapt Akira to the live-action format over the last 25 years, it seems that this version is, in fact, walking.
The adaptation had a first solid confirmation in 2019, scheduled to open in 2021 by Warner Bros. However, the film was eventually removed from the calendar, especially after Waititi prioritizes Thor's direction: love and thunder. Since then, silence has predominated - so far.
Remember that Akira, originally directed by Katsuhiro Otomo and based on his own manga, is one of the most influential works in the history of anime and cinema. The possibility of seeing neo-tochio reimagined in live-action has always generated high expectations. And although Lazar said that “there is no news yet”, ensuring that will come updates soon is the most solid confirmation in years that the project follows alive.
