Production

In December 2017, Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine announced that an anime film of Kōhei Horikoshi's My Hero Academia manga series would premiere in summer 2018, which would be based on an original story. Horikoshi "scarcely believe[d]... [but] was super happy" in the announcement of his manga's first film, further revealing that a "character's past that hasn't been in the manga yet" would be featured.

The film's title and release date were revealed during a stage presentation at AnimeJapan in March 2018. In the same event, the film's timeline was revealed to be taking place after the Final Exam story arc and during "another summer" in the Forest Training story arc at an artificial island called I-Island. It would also tie into the twentieth episode of the television series' third season.

A few days after the film's announcement, Bones and Toho were also announced to be respectively producing and distributing the film, with Kenji Nagasaki directing, Yōsuke Kuroda writing the script, and Yoshihiko Umakoshi designing the characters, while Horikoshi was credited with the original work and character designs, and as the chief supervisor.

In an interview with Comic Natalie, Horikoshi revealed that he had a "good amount of oversight" with the film such as providing the designs of the original characters Melissa and David and offering his "opinions and corrections" to the script. The release of the 34th issue of Weekly Shōnen Jump in July 2018 revealed the addition of Ryōhei Kimura in the cast as young David.
