Live-Action ATTACK ON TITAN Movie – Kick-ass Character Posters!

13 awesome character posters have been released for director Shinji Higuchi‘s live-action Attack of Titan film. Each one gives us a look at a different character in the film. I’ve got to say, I love what I’m seeing here. It’s definitely exciting to get our first glimpse at what the style and tone of the film will be.

One of the last things we heard about the Japanese feature is that it would be split into two films. Attack on Titan creator, Hajime Isayama, helped in the creation of the movie and even came up with seven additional characters. Of course, the movie will stay true to the spirit of the source material.

The cast for the film includes Haruma Miura as Eren, Kiko Mizuhara as Mikasa, Kanata Hongo as Armin, Satomi Ishihara as Hanji, Nanami Sakuraba as Sasha, Takahiro Miura as Jean, Hiroki Hasegawa as Shikishima, Ayame Misaki as Hiana, Pierre Taki as Souda, Jun Kunimura as Kubal, Shu Watanabe as Fukushi, Satoru Matsuo as Sannagi, and Rina Takeda as Lil.

The first live-action Attack on Titan film will premiere next summer. We will replace these images with higher resolution versions when they become available.

The cast includes:


Haruma Miura as Eren


Kiko Mizuhara as Mikasa


Kanata Hongo as Armin


Satomi Ishihara as Hans/Hanji


Nanami Sakuraba as Sasha


Takahiro Miura as Jean


Hiroki Hasegawa as Shikishima


Ayame Misaki as Hiana


Pierre Taki as Souda


Jun Kunimura as Kubal


Shu Watanabe as Fukushi


Satoru Matsuo as Sannagi


Rina Takeda as Lil

The cast includes seven characters that are new to the film versions of the story. Sanspo reports that Hasegawa’s character Shikishima holds the key to the film’s story as “humanity’s strongest man.”

On the cast selection, producer Yoshihiro Sato said he did not pay as much attention to whether or not the cast members looked like the original characters. Instead, he had many discussions withAttack on Titan manga creator Hajime Isayama and went with actors who could act out the “characters’ spirits.”

The films’ director Shinji Higuchi confirmed that the project will span two films and stated that, with the supervision of Isayama, the story will be based on the world and characters of the manga, while incorporating new characters and new formidable enemies. Yuusuke Watanabe (Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods, live-action Gantz, Gantz II: Perfect Answer, 20th Century Boys, Gatchaman) is writing the script. Film critic Tomohiro Machiyama, who is also friends with Isayama, is working on the scripts together with Isayama and Watanabe.
