After scoring some solid tax incentives recently, it looks like Warner Bros. is ready to go full steam ahead with the live-action Akira film.
The studio has set a May 21st, 2021 release date for the film with director Taika Waititi handling it while Leonardo DiCaprio’s Appian Way production company is handling it.
While things are still up in the air, it continues to seem like Taika Waititi is on board to direct the film.
The film, as the schedule stands, will go up against John Wick: Chapter 4.
