Before we discuss the core topic, it is also necessary to first review the origins of this franchise. Yep, what else if not from famous manga titles Naruto!

Who doesn't know this Shonen manga? So famous, Naruto not only is it one of the greatest titles ever written in the history of manga, but it is also very synonymous with the existence of manga itself.

If you don't believe it, just try asking those who are laypeople (grandparents, uncles, or other parents), manga titles such as Jujutsu Kaisen, Tokyo Revengers, Kimetsu No Yaiba, and others.

They don't necessarily understand, even though these titles are no less big. But if you say a name Naruto, it is very likely that some of them will know the character of the orange-shirted child ninja.

This could be an indication that Naruto is indeed much more famous than these titles.

What's even more amazing is that even mega-titles like One Piece can't compete with Naruto.

Quoted from the page Gamerant, (Eiichiro) Oda Sensei He has even officially admitted that in terms of international popularity, Naruto has beaten his manga! Yep, the two manga artists do have a fairly healthy competitive relationship.

With the various fame that Naruto has achieved, it is natural that this manga will finally get various appropriate adaptations.

Starting from his own tankobon series, and then followed by an anime title that was so epic.

Made by Studio Pierrot, 220 episodes were released over a period of approximately five years (2002-2007). Not only that, a total of 11 films have also been released to complete the adaptation of the adventures of the ninja who dreams of becoming Hokage.

Even though all of this can be said to be enough to expand the storyline of the Naruto universe itself, it seems as if the fans haven't had enough. One thing that still bothers them in their day: the live-action Naruto adaptation.

This seems to be one of the biggest dreams of the Naruto fanbase. Yep, they want to see the figures of their dream Konoha Shinobi played by real people in a real world context supported by aesthetic CGI effects.

Live-Action Naruto Finally Comes to Life!

So, now let's get to the main discussion. Create para Vicigers who may be part of the fanbase above, congratulations! Our dreams have finally come true!

After successfully securing a contract with one of the Hollywood studios, namely Lionsgate, live-action Naruto has officially entered the production kitchen!

This studio itself has had many box-office action films. Some of them include the titles: La La Land, Knives Out, The Day After Tomorrow; as well as several big franchises such as Now You See Me, The Hunger Games, The Divergent, and even John Wick!

And when it comes to live-adaptation, there's no need to doubt Lionsgate. For example, the adaptation of the Twilight Saga (which is taken from the novel with the same title) where this lineup has even managed to become one of the best-selling film franchises in the world!

And so that it ends in accordance with the long-standing expectations of Naruto fans, Lionsgate also seems to be very careful in working on this ambitious project. This is proven by the appointment of Destin Daniel Cretton as director.

Fans of Marvel superhero films will be familiar with the name. This is because the director's work skyrocketed thanks to his portfolio when working on an MCU film with a strong oriental feel: Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings!

In the context of making the film itself, Cretton is reported to have met directly with Kishimoto Sensei and received full approval. Yes, let's just wait until the film is released!
