“When we set out to adapt One Punch Man to live action, we knew we had to bring that same insane action and comedy to the big screen,” said director Elliot C. Rosen. “This scene features the first and only fight scene between the show’s two protagonists: Saitama and Genos. Fans are in for a treat.”

“We truly believe that all animated content that is being translated to live-action should be created by fans for the fans,” said RE: Anime creator Nik Shaw. “That is our mission statement and we want to prove to Netflix that we have the passion, vision and fan perspective to bring One Punch Man to the live action arena in a way that will please both longtime fans as well as brand new audiences.”
