Mackenyu to Play Mash in Live-Action Film Set for 2027
Mackenyu will play Mash Burnedead in a live-action film based on the manga Mashle: Magic and Muscles.
The film is directed by Yuichi Fukuda and is scheduled to premiere in Japan on March 19, 2027.
Mash is a young man in a world where people use magic, but he cannot; instead, he relies on his exceptional strength.
His inability to use magic is concealed by a fake facial mark, shown in the film’s teaser.
Mackenyu said he spent around three years preparing physically for the role and must convey Mash’s personality despite the character rarely showing emotion.
The story contrasts magic with physical strength, a central idea of the manga and its anime adaptation.
Warner Bros.
Pictures and Fuji Television are overseeing production, and Toho will distribute the film in Japan.
