Wilson Chapman editorJustin Lin is attached to direct an upcoming film adaptation of the popular manga “One Punch Man.”Lin will direct the film based on a script from “Venom” and “Jumanji: The Next Level” screenwriters Scott Rosenberg and Jeff Pinkner.
Sony Pictures is backing the film, and Lin will produce alongside Avi and Ari Arad of Arad Productions.“One Punch Man” will be Lin’s first project following the announcement this April that he exited directing “Fast X,” the latest film in the “Fast and Furious” franchise.
He’d previously directed four films for the franchise, starting with 2006’s “Tokyo Drift,” and also helmed the 2018 film “Star Trek Beyond.”Created by Japanese artist ONE as a webcomic in 2009, “One Punch Man” focuses on Saitama, an average, unemployed man who trains to become a superhero, and develops the ability to defeat any opponent — no matter how powerful — with a single punch.
Saitama’s incredible power comes at the cost of any real excitement in his life, which causes him to become bored and apathetic even as he continually saves the world from incredible danger.
