Cretton was acclaimed for helming MCU\u2019s <em><strong>Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings<\/strong><\/em>, and also directed <em><strong>Just Mercy<\/strong><\/em>, <em><strong>The Glass Castle<\/strong><\/em>, and<em><strong> Short Term 12<\/strong><\/em>. The <em><strong>Shang-Chi<\/strong><\/em> film grossed more than $432 million at the global box office.<br \/><br \/>Huo is also serving as showrunner for another animated series on Netflix: <em><strong>Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft<\/strong><\/em>. She was recently quoted in <a href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/original-naruto-live-action-movie-writer-previews-director-story-8696217\"><em>Entertainment Weekly<\/em><\/a> as saying that Cretton was \u201csuch a cool choice because he\u2019s going to be able to capture how nuanced and special <em><strong>Naruto<\/strong> <\/em>is without getting distracted by the big world that it is, which I think could easily be done by someone who\u2019s not a fan or someone who\u2019s coming in for a cash payday. This is definitely a movie that comes at it from a love of who Naruto is and that character and his relationships.&#8221;<br \/><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm1618263\/\">Masashi Kishimoto<\/a>, who created the original <em>Naruto<\/em> manga in 1997, also gave his blessing to Cretton\u2019s involvement, telling <em>Entertainment Weekly<\/em> that &#8220;When I heard of Destin\u2019s attachment, it happened to be right after watching a blockbuster action film of his, and I thought he would be the perfect director for <em><strong>Naruto<\/strong><\/em>. After enjoying his other films and understanding that his forte is in creating solid dramas about people, I became convinced that there is no other director for [<em><strong>Naruto<\/strong><\/em>]. In actually meeting Destin, I also found him to be an open-minded director who was willing to embrace my input, and felt strongly that we would be able to cooperate together in the production process.&#8221;<br \/><br \/><em><strong>Naruto<\/strong> <\/em>tells the story of an orphaned, ramen-eating, spike-haired boy who aspires to become a ninja and the leader of his village, even though he has a demonic side that makes him a pariah of sorts.<br \/><br \/>Naruto&#8217;s story has already been adapted for 11 films between 2002 and 2015, ranging from <em><strong>Ninja Clash in the Land of Snow<\/strong><\/em> to <em><strong>Boruto: Naruto The Movie<\/strong><\/em>.<br \/><br \/>The <em><strong>Naruto<\/strong> <\/em>anime can be viewed on several platforms, including Hulu and Crunchyroll.
