gizmodo.com Justin Carter 2026-02-19 18:30:10

Well, it’s happened. After 20 years of shuffling creative teams and development hell, Warner Bros. finally called it and won’t remake Akira. But things aren’t ending there, according to the Hollywood Reporter. WB’s simply let go of the movie rights it acquired back in 2002. They’ve now returned to the manga’s publisher, Kodansha; according to THR, several producers and talents are already “lining up” for the chance to adapt it.
