On June 12, 2024, the official website of the anime revealed a new key visual for My Hero Academia Movie 4, which consisted of some main characters that would be involved in the film's synopsis. The visual was designed by the character designer of the movie.

The fourth movie of the series was announced in August 2023 and will be animated by the same animation studio as the parent anime series. The additional casting for the series was announced in May 2024. The film is set to air on August 5, 2024, and will feature a villain with the same voice actor as All Might.

The latest key visual was designed by Yoshihiko Magoe, the character designer for the movie. The key visual consisted of some students from Class 1-A of the U.A. High School and Pro Heroes Endeavor and Hawks.

The character in the background of the key visual was All Might in his iconic pose after he defeated All for One in a heated battle. After defeating the villain, the hero tried transforming into his bulk form but was reduced to his weak form. He then uttered the words:

"You're Next."

These words could be the inspiration behind this movie, as the latest visual also confirms this. The latest key visual could also be considered the poster for the movie, but as it doesn't have the main antagonist, Dark Might, this couldn't be considered the final poster for the series.

Kohei Horikoshi, the author of My Hero Academia, is set to act as the supervisor for the movie and also the character designer. The music composer for the movie will be Yuki Hayashi (music composer for One Piece Film: Gold).
