Megan Thee Stallion's Mirko Cosplay Proves My Hero Academia Can Work in Live-Action
Mirko has had a difficult time during My Hero Academia's sixth season, giving it her all in fighting against the Paranormal Liberation Front, Shigaraki, the High-End Nomu, and countless other villains. With this Halloween season seeing more than a few celebrities honoring the anime medium, Megan Thee Stallion once again dove headfirst into the world of UA Academy, bringing Mirko the Rabbit hero to life and proving that you might not need computer graphics when it comes to dropping the high kicking hero into live action.
While Megan Thee Stallion has donned the outfits of two major My Hero Academia crime fighters, Kohei Horikoshi's Shonen franchise is far from the only anime series that the singer has fallen in love with. Earlier this year, Megan visited Japan and made a trip to the David Production Exhibit which honored ten years of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure on the small screen. Megan also has an affinity for anime franchises including Hunter x Hunter, Attack on Titan, Bleach, Soul Eater, and Assassination Classroom to name a few. While Megan hasn't voiced an anime character as of yet, it might only be a matter of time before the singer joins a franchise.
Mirko Thee Stallion
If you didn't have the opportunity to see Megan Thee Stallion's new Halloween outfit, the singer posted it on Instagram, showing how a real-world Mirko might look if the Rabbit Hero took the leap from both the manga and the anime into a live-action world:
My Hero Academia has previously announced a live-action film thanks to Legendary Pictures, with director Shinsuke Sato set to helm the picture. Since the director's involvement was announced, there have been few details when it comes to a potential release date, cast, and/or story that the film will follow. Regardless, anime fans are crossing their fingers that the feature-length film will be able to hit the same heights as the Shonen franchise. Should the movie be released, we know one singer who might do a great job in bringing Mirko to life.
Which celebrity, who dressed as an anime character, do you think won this year's Halloween? Which actress would you like to see portray Mirko in a My Hero Academia movie?
