The third film looks to break the domestic box office record as it’s broken the Japanese box office record with theatrical releases in the United States and Canada on October 29th.
To announce the theatrical release date in America, Funimation shared a new trailer for the film. Take a look.
Funimation revealed the film will screen with English subtitles and in English-dubbed format in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa.
The official description according to Funimation begins, “The film follows the super-powered cast of student heroes, with a focus on Deku, Bakugo and Todoroki, as they work to clear Deku’s name and take down a dastardly organization bent on global havoc. Equipped with some seriously cool stealth suits, can our heroes save the day once again?”
The movie will take place chronologically in Season 5 of the anime as Bakugo, Todoroki, and Deku will still be working under Endeavor as part of a work study program. It will also see the students venture outside of Japan.

As for the Stealth Suits, it was revealed back in May that they are original designs by My Hero Academia creator and mangaka Kohei Horikoshi.
