Should I watch the My Hero Academia Movie before starting Season 3?

[Samster]

This question has been on my mind for a while now, but I can’t find a clear answer on the internet. Basically, I finished Season 2 of My Hero Academia about two weeks or so ago, but I haven’t moved on to Season 3 yet, because apparently, there’s a movie. .-.

Some people say that you need to watch it before Season 3, and others say it doesn’t matter. What I want to know is, should I watch the movie before I start the next season? Is it required, or can I move on and watch it later?

I did not watch any movie and I'm done with all of the aired episodes. I'd say it's fine to go to season 3.

The movie isn't even in the manga, so no, you can watch it whenever. The anime follows the manga so you won't miss any of the storyline.

Ah, gotcha! Thanks for the tips!

I’ll be sure to start Season 3 the first chance I get. ^^
