The full-length adaptation of the «One-Punch Man» manga remains in development. This is reported by The Hollywood Reporter in an article dedicated to other projects by Justin Lin, including his appointment as director of the Helldivers movie.
According to the publication, Lin is still attached to the Sony Pictures project and continues to work on the film about Saitama. It was previously believed that production had slowed down: almost a year has passed since the last update. In 2024, it became known that Dan Harmon and Heather Anne Campbell, co-authors of «Rick and Morty», are rewriting the «One-Punch Man» script. After that, no new information appeared, which led to speculation about a possible freeze on the project.
However, Sony has not confirmed the cessation of work, but at the moment there is no information about the status of the updated script, the start date of filming, the cast, and the expected release date.
