The theme song “Long Hope Philia” is written/composed by Japanese rock band amazarashi’s vocalist/guitalist Hiromu Akita and performed by actor Masaki Suda (Philip/Kamen Rider Double in Kamen Rider W, Shinpachi Shimura in Gintama).

Film synopsis:
During “I • Expo” to display the research results about “Quirk” and “Hero Item,” Deku meets a girl named
Melissa (CV: Mirai Shida) who has no “Quirk.” She reminds Deku of himself in the past who also lacked
a “Quirk.” She is a daughter of All Might’s ex-partner David Shield (Kastuhisa Namase), who is a internationally-
renowned scientist who has developed support items for many heroes, including All Might’s costume in
the past.
All of sudden, the security system of the island is hacked by an unknown villain team headed by Wolfram
(Rikiya Koyama), and all of the people in the island are being held hostage. Then “a project” that may shock
the structure of the hero society is launched. The one person who holds the key to the project is All Might,
the symbol of peace.
My Hero Academia: The Two Heroes will premiere August 3 in Japan. Prior to that, its world premiere screening with English subtitles is set to be held at the upcoming Anime Expo 2018 event on July 5.
