Solo Leveling: Could We Be Getting Five Seasons and a Live-Action Movie?

The anime adaptation of Solo Leveling has already created a massive buzz among fans of the popular webtoon and light novel series. Since its premiere announcement, the hype around the story of Sung Jin-Woo’s rise from the weakest hunter to the world’s mightiest has been palpable. Now, rumors swirling around the anime industry suggest that not only will the series extend over five seasons but it could also lead to a live-action movie adaptation. Could these rumors hold weight? Let’s break it down.
When Solo Leveling was confirmed as an anime adaptation, it was no surprise that expectations skyrocketed. The original story, written by Chugong and illustrated by the late DUBU, captivated millions with its breathtaking battles, compelling character arcs, and immersive world-building. The anime is being handled by A-1 Pictures, known for stunning productions like Sword Art Online and Blue Exorcist, which only adds to the excitement.
Given the vast amount of material in the source material, a five-season roadmap seems plausible. The light novel spans 270 chapters, and the webtoon is equally rich with detailed arcs. A five-season structure would allow the story to breathe, delivering each arc with precision instead of rushing through Sung Jin-Woo’s epic evolution.
The rumor mill isn’t just limited to multiple anime seasons. Whispers of a live-action movie have also captured fans’ imaginations. Hollywood’s growing interest in anime adaptations (One Piece, anyone?) combined with Solo Leveling’s global fanbase makes the possibility of a movie adaptation realistic.
Some speculate that the live-action adaptation would focus on the final arcs of the story or possibly a standalone tale set in the Solo Leveling universe. While anime-to-live-action transitions are often met with skepticism, the success of recent projects (Alita: Battle Angel and Netflix’s One Piece) suggests that studios are finally learning how to respect the source material.
Adapting a visually stunning and fast-paced story like Solo Leveling into live action would be no small feat. The series’ supernatural battles, intricate dungeon designs, and fantastical creatures would require top-tier CGI and production quality to match fan expectations. Casting would also be a critical factor—who could embody Sung Jin-Woo’s quiet intensity or Cha Hae-In’s graceful strength?
Furthermore, the cultural specificity of Solo Leveling, rooted in Korean mythology and history, would need to be handled with care. Fans are understandably wary of “Hollywood-ization,” which has often led to diluted or overly Westernized interpretations of beloved stories.
The possibility of a five-season anime adaptation has been met with widespread excitement. Many fans believe that extending the anime over multiple seasons would allow for a more faithful retelling of the story, capturing every thrilling fight and emotional moment. The potential for a live-action movie, however, has sparked mixed reactions. While some are optimistic about the idea of seeing Jin-Woo in a new medium, others worry about how the story’s essence could translate to live action.
While nothing official has been confirmed, the idea of Solo Leveling receiving five seasons and a live-action movie speaks to the enduring popularity of the franchise. Whether these rumors turn out to be true or simply fan speculation, one thing is certain: Solo Leveling is set to become one of the biggest anime adaptations in recent memory.
As we await more news, one thing’s for sure—this is just the beginning of Solo Leveling’s rise to global dominance. Fans, stay tuned. You won’t want to miss what comes next.
What do you think about the possibility of a live-action Solo Leveling movie? Do you believe the anime can deliver on its five-season promise? Let us know in the comments!

DEVA delivers on the star power of Shahid Kapoor and Pooja Hegde but falters in its attempt to adapt the gripping narrative of Mumbai Police into a high-octane Bollywood thriller. While the film offers moments of style and spectacle, it ultimately struggles to leave a lasting impact.
Shahid Kapoor once again proves his mettle, seamlessly embodying the layered persona of Dev Ambre—a character who walks the fine line between law enforcer and lawbreaker. His screen presence, particularly in the electrifying dance number Bhasad Macha, injects much-needed energy into the film. However, despite his commanding performance, the film’s screenplay does little to elevate its storytelling beyond the standard action-thriller formula.
Pooja Hegde, a talented actress, finds herself in a thankless role, serving more as a narrative device than a fully fleshed-out character. Her chemistry with Shahid is engaging, but the script doesn’t offer her much beyond the love interest trope, leaving her talents underutilized.
As a remake, DEVA retains the framework of Mumbai Police but struggles to replicate its emotional depth and narrative intrigue. Despite a strong cast and an engaging visual style, the film feels like a Bollywoodized version of a Hollywood thriller—heavy on aesthetics but lacking in storytelling impact.
DEVA is a star-driven spectacle that will appeal to Shahid and Pooja’s fan base but fails to live up to its source material’s gripping intensity. A stylish but ultimately underwhelming action thriller.
