My Hero Academia is gearing up to release the fourth movie in the anime franchise, and it's raising the question once again as to whether or not they are an official part of the series' canon! As fans have seen in most cases with action series like My Hero Academia in the past, the movie releases are often made to be approachable to wide audience without necessarily being completely up to date with everything that's currently happening in the anime or manga releases. But it's a strange case with My Hero Academia as while it's true they have original stories, there are ties back to the canon.
