Bleach Live-Action Movie in the Works?

Warner Bros. Might Be Bringing the Epic Anime to the Big Screen!

The excitement for live-action adaptations of popular manga and anime continues to grow, and now Bleach is rumored to be next in line. Bleach, created by Tite Kubo, is one of the most iconic shonen series ever, known for its thrilling story and memorable characters.

Warner Bros. Pictures is reportedly working on a live-action version of Bleach. The studio is already in the process of finding a writer and director for the project, which, if confirmed, would add another major manga adaptation to the list of successful film and TV projects.

This news comes as part of a broader trend where major manga and anime series are being adapted into live-action films and shows.

For example, One Piece, another member of the "Big Three" of shonen manga alongside Naruto and Bleach, has already been adapted into a popular live-action series by Netflix.

Naruto is set to receive a film directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, heightening anticipation for its adaptation.

With these developments, only Bleach remains to be officially confirmed, highlighting the increasing focus of Western entertainment on manga and anime properties.

The buzz around Bleach also coincides with the 20th anniversary of the Bleach anime, which first aired on October 5, 2004. To celebrate this milestone, a special event is scheduled for September 16, 2024, which will include the premiere of the third part of its final arc, Thousand-Year Blood War.

There’s speculation that this event could also reveal further details about the potential live-action adaptation. Stay tuned to see if Bleach will officially join the ranks of live-action adaptations, marking another significant step in the global success of manga and anime.
