Universal Fan Fest Nights 2026

Wasn't the original plan to have My Hero Academia be the DWT film for FFN 2026? if they are doing a new JJK film this choice must have been made late in the game.

The original plan was not MHA.

I suspect and wonder if USH might be testing rotated films for DWT, with the “new” film and JJK.

One of the things I've heard is that the budgeting for 2026 got cut back, and that for the walkthroughs and experiences; that spending the money that they did for something like Star Trek seems to be infeasible.

The budget cuts have me more concerned that the DWT anime show is STILL gonna be undubbed.

For that matter, I fear that dubs in this year's FFN are dead in the water if this happens, since rotating was how I always imagined rotating sub/dub would work. I seriously hope I won't be alone in making that heard in feedback surveys if it comes to that. You'd think that after any criticisms from last year and HHN (where I feel like the reading subtitles + action on screen was even worse at the start) they'd consider trying to alleviate that.

From what it seems, subs for FFN isn't actually a problem like how it is for HHN. The disconnect isn't as prevalent for this event in comparison to the more lukewarm/negative thoughts on Chainsaw Man.

Where's this coming from? Again, I genuinely tried to give the subs a chance upon learning of the lack of a dub ahead of watching the one for JJK last year, so it'd suck to be in the minority when I felt like I could only fully divert my attention to the action on-screen the second time around.

I guess I'm biased, but while dubs are fine, the translation isn't always accurate. I do appreciate the English dubs, BUT subs aren't that bad when it comes to paying attention to the action
