Is Solo Leveling being adapted into a live-action film?

Prior to rumors about Solo Leveling being adapted into a live-action film, the manga was already adapted into an anime under the supervision of A-1 Pictures animation studio.

Rumors suggest that one of the most popular webtoons today, Solo Leveling, is soon to be adapted into a live-action film. Kwak Heaeun, the creative director of D&C Webtoon, stirred up these suspicions in a recent interview. Details about this new project are still scarce, but the buzz has left fans of the original webtoon extremely excited.

French newspaper Linternaute was one of the first platforms to announce that the project is indeed in development. However, what remains unclear is how this live-action adaptation will unfold.

Solo Leveling's story is known for its breathtaking action sequences and characters pushing the limits of human capabilities, quite literally. With this in mind, any live-action adaptation would need to be carefully crafted and have a substantial budget to stay true to the original work.

It's worth noting that other highly successful webtoons, such as Tower of God, are also considering live-action adaptations. However, budget constraints led to its decision to be adapted into an anime. Solo Leveling itself has an anime adaptation in the works, leaving fans to wonder if a live-action Solo Leveling film is truly feasible.

For those unfamiliar with Solo Leveling, this webtoon was created and developed by the duo Dubu and Chugong. Debuting in 2016, the webcomic has been translated into multiple languages and garnered a global fanbase.

The story revolves around Jinwoo Sung, a rank E hunter, struggling to survive in a world filled with monsters while also dealing with personal issues such as his mother's medical bills and his sister's education. Confronted with unimaginably powerful enemies, Jinwoo must find a way to overcome adversity and level up.

Ultimately, whether it's anime or live-action, it seems Solo Leveling is destined to expand its universe. Fans can only anticipate further updates on projects related to Solo Leveling.
