Saitama as One Punch Man punching the air with a silly face and blue background
In April 2020, Colombia Pictures announced a live-action movie adaptation of the famous manga One Punch Man. However, there are concerns about how well the One Punch Man live-action movie will approach the source material, as many anime adaptations often fail to capture the spirit of the originals. Scott Rosenberg and Jeff Pinkner, who previously worked on the Jumanji films and Venom, originally signed on as writers, with Marvel Studios’ founder Avi Arad set to produce.
The anime contains many personalities that are often bizarre, but the character designs in One Punch Man also allow for a lot of physical comedy. Heroes such as Pineapple and Puri-Puri Prisoner have fantastically outlandish looks which contrast with the plain attire of others like Mumen Rider. There is a concern about how One Punch Man’s visuals will translate into live-action, as many anime adaptations struggle with portraying physics-defying outfits and movements.
Saitama is an incredibly powerful character and the anime centers around the action-packed life of being a superhero, so the One Punch Man live-action movie should lean into its large-scale action sequences and treat them with the same seriousness shown in the anime. As stated by the anime series creator ONE, the one thing that sets Saitama apart in One Punch Man isn’t his strength, it is his personality and perspective.
