🥊 Plot Summary
One Punch Man (2026) brings the wildly popular Japanese anime and manga to life in a thrilling, Western-produced live-action adaptation that reimagines the story of Saitama, a seemingly ordinary bald man with an extraordinary problem — he’s become so strong, he defeats every enemy with just one punch.
Disillusioned and bored by his unmatched power, Saitama yearns for a worthy challenge. That wish might be granted when a cosmic invader named Boros arrives, threatening to destroy Earth. Alongside his determined cyborg apprentice Genos (played by Tom Holland), Saitama battles monstrous villains, destructive alien invaders, and corrupt hero organizations — all while maintaining his dry wit and humble nature.
