No Third Film!
The creator of the original manga, Horikoshi, has already made his plans clear about the future of My Hero Academia. During the release of the second film, he teased that the existence of a third film is next to impossible. “There won’t be a third film. Probably,” he said. However, this is because the movies tend to use ideas that Horikoshi plants to use later in the finale episodes. Thus, he is saving the best for the last.
