The preview trailer started with the voice of Miyake Kenta, the voice actor of All Might, however, it was actually the villain of the My Hero Academia You're Next film, named Dark Might. The trailer progressed and showed all the heroes in tension as everything around them was being destroyed due to some mysterious force.

Dark Might's powers were also showcased in the trailer for the My Hero Academia You're Next film, which looked similar to All Might's One for All powers. The trailer ended with the dialogue 'Dark Might, Atarashi socho no nasa,' from the villain, which loosely translates to 'the zeal of a new leader, Dark Might.'

As mentioned, Dark Might, the antagonist of the My Hero Academia You're Next film, would be voiced by the same voice actor as All Might, Kenta Miyake. This could indicate that All Might would not be a part of this film. All of the other original voice castings of the series would be returning to voice their characters.

Okamura Tensei would replace Kenji Nagasaki as the director of this My Hero Academia movie, as the latter was responsible for directing the previous films. Kohei Horikoshi, the original author of My Hero Academia, would act as the supervisor for this film and would also be responsible for the character designs.

Some of the returning staff members include Yuki Hayashi as the music composer, Kuroda Yousuke as the script composer, and Umakoshi Yoshiko as the character designer, alongside the author.
