It looks like Naruto is getting the live-action treatment. It has been announced that Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton is set to write and direct a live-action take on the manga classic.
The movie will be based on the manga created by Masashi Kishimoto. Since its start, Naruto has printed over 250 million copies in more than 60 countries and territories. The story follows adolescent ninja Naruto Uzumaki, who dreams of becoming his community’s protector and leader known as the village ninja.
Lionsgate will be releasing Naruto, which has been in development since 2015. The studio previously signed Michael Gracey to direct the project back then but now the project has gained significant momentum with Destin Daniel Cretton attached.
