In just a few months, the new My Hero Academia movie, My Hero Academia: You’re Next, is set to release in Canada and North America. The movie has already started its theatrical release in Japan. While fans have a little longer to wait, they can tide themselves over with the new trailer filled with exciting clips.

The film is set to take place between Season 6 and Season 7 of the anime. In My Hero Academia: You’re Next, a new villain threatens the world, and it’s up to the young heroes to save the day alongside their idols. Interestingly, this film offers a take on what would happen if All Might was the main enemy.

The trailer for My Hero Academia: You’re Next is full of some very intense moments as the heroes work to save people and fight hordes of enemies. There are also several new powers on the enemy’s side that no hero is prepared for.

The enemy, known as Dark Might, has created his persona based on a twisted perspective of the popular hero All Might. In the trailer for My Hero Academia: You’re Next, you see many scenes featuring Dark Might and the students of 1-A as they fight. There are also clips featuring a girl who seems to be trapped by Dark Might, though her purpose in the story is unclear at the moment.

High School student who aspires to be the best hero he can be, confronts the villain who imitates the hero he’s long admired. Can Deku and the rest of U.A. High Class 1-A protect the world by putting an end to Dark Might, the man claiming to be the new Symbol of Peace?”
