Kenta Miyake, known for his role as All Might in My Hero Academia, is taking on a surprising new character in the upcoming film My Hero Academia: You’re Next. In this fourth movie installment of the franchise, Miyake will voice Dark Might, a villainous figure who emerges from a twisted interpretation of All Might’s legacy.
Dark Might’s Role and Design:
Dark Might is essentially a dark reflection of the hero All Might, boasting similar powers and abilities to the original hero in his prime. This antagonist is portrayed with a muscular physique and short blond hair, akin to All Might’s Silver Age look but with distinct features like a more hooked nose and bushier eyebrows. His attire includes a sophisticated white tuxedo with black accents, which stands in stark contrast to All Might’s more heroic costumes. Dark Might’s powers, which he amplifies using a Quirk called the Unnamed Glowing Booster Quirk, allow him to unleash devastatingly powerful punches and increase his speed and strength, making him a formidable adversary for Izuku Midoriya and his classmates.
Kenta Miyake’s Perspective:
Miyake, who learned of this new role rather casually, expressed his enthusiasm for exploring the villainous side of the My Hero Academia universe. He mentioned his curiosity about the villain’s mindset and how it contrasts with the hero’s perspective, which made the role particularly intriguing for him. This new take on his character allows Miyake to delve into a different aspect of the story, showcasing his versatility as a voice actor.
Release Information:
My Hero Academia: You’re Next is scheduled to hit theaters in Japan on August 2, 2024, and will be released in North America on October 11, 2024. Directed by Tensai Okamura and with Kohei Horikoshi, the series creator, supervising the project, fans can expect a thrilling addition to the My Hero Academia franchise. The film will also feature other new characters and voices, including Meru Nukumi and Mamoru Miyano, who bring to life original characters Anna Scervino and Giulio Gandini, respectively
