The live-action adaptation of Naruto has confirmed it won’t be just one film. There will be at least seven. Because Lionsgate has confirmed that its intention is to adapt the entire manga and, to do that, they’ll need much more room than a single film. To do that, they’ve already confirmed that they’ll have three films to adapt the first half of the movie and another four to adapt Naruto. Shippuden, following a structure similar to that of the Harry Potter films.
Some changes that are going to be controversial
According to various leaks from insider Daniel Ritchman, the film reportedly plans to make some major changes to the story. To start with, it plans to give Sakura a bigger role, giving her more prominence and more power, something Kishimoto himself had already considered. Similarly, Naruto wouldn’t be a lazy student, but rather an excellent student of ninja history. And to avoid love triangles, Naruto wouldn’t have any interest in Sakura, but Sasuke would. These are all changes that might not necessarily sit well with fans. Especially with the current political climate.
With a production planned for 2027 and direction by Destin Daniel Cretton, known for his work on Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and Spider-Man: Brand New Day, we’ll still have to wait to see how this film series turns out. But what’s certain is that all of this is going to cause a stir.
