Akira fans have been waited with bated breath to see if this beloved anime movie can be successfully adapted into live-action. The good news is that Taika Waititi is still attached to direct. The bad news is that production has been delayed until after Waititi wraps up work on the upcoming Thor: Love and Thunder.
Waititi gave us an update on the long-brewing project during a press junket for his latest film, Jojo Rabbit. As he reveals, Akira fell behind schedule as work on the screenplay began bleeding into Waititi’s commitment to the fourth Thor movie.
See what Waititi has to say about the current status of Akira in the video below.
