Next summer, Hajime Isayama's phenomenally successful dark fantasy manga Attack On Titan will be making swinging into cinemas with two live-action movies that will be directed by Shinji Higuchi (Assistant Director of Wings of Honneamise) and distributed by TOHO. Yesterday, the Japanese film websites Eiga.com and Sanspo posted the first teaser posters for the two features, depicting the main cast, which is as follows:

Sasha Braus: Nanami Sakuraba (Summer Wars' Natsuki Shinohara).

Additionally, the series' cast is rounded out by seven characters who are not found in the source material and are original to this production. These new characters will be led by Hiroki Hasegawa (Kuragehime's Shu Koibuchi) who will be playing Shikishima, who is said to be "humanity's strongest man". The additional cast is as follows:


Shikishima: Hiroki Hasegawa.
Fukushi: Shu Watanabe (OOO, Den-O, All Riders: Let's Go Kamen Riders's Kamen Rider OOO).
Hiana: Ayame Misaki (Cutie Honey The Live's Miki Saotome).
Kubal: Jun Kunimura (The Wind Rise's Hattori).
Lil: Rina Takeda.
Sannagi: Satoru Matsuo.
Souda: Pierre Taki.


The promotional images of the new cast members can be viewed at Sanspo.

Hanji is easily the closest to looking like how she does in the manga, but I am intrigued by the RPG? Perhaps the movies are going with a more modern setting?
 
Love Hange.

This looks better than I expected, to be honest - though I'm a little skeptical about the modern setting; I hope it doesn't become too overtly Hunger Games/Battle Royale esque.
 
It was the stupidest of pipe dreams, but I'm dissapointed they're throwing out the non-Asian characters and making them specifically Asian in this take.
