The Motion Picture Producers Association of Japan lists a domestic box office total of 1.1 billion yen (roughly US$9.6 million), so it wasn’t exactly as profitable as a formula to turn lead into gold, but it wasn’t met with the same chorus of groans as the live-action Attack on Titan films either.

▼ Kimblee apparently can put symbols on his hands and butts in seats. “Kimblee is in this one!?! Can’t wait to go see it!” “I think this is gonna be one of those movies that people only buy tickets for because they want whatever limited-edition merch comes with it.” “I didn’t think the first one made much money, but I guess they still felt it did OK enough financially if they’re making two sequels at once.” “Is this really the sort of thing Warner Bros. “I think they’re overestimating the demand by making two more films.” “I was hyped when I heard the news, and after watching the trailer I’m even more hyped!” “I have been waiting so, so long for this!” Reactions to the news that not one, but two, new live-action films are on their way has been mixed, with Japanese Twitter comments including Also returning from the first live-action Fullmetal Alchemist are director Fumihiko Sori and scriptwriting partner Takeshi Miyamoto, and if you want even more nostalgia, there’s also an alternate version of the upcoming sequel’s trailer narrated by Romi Park and Rie Kugimiya, Ed and Al’s anime voice actresses.

Scar/Arata aren’t the only newcomers, though. Though absent from the first film, Scar, who will be portrayed by Mackenyu Arata, ends up playing a major role in the story as his quest for vengeance for the slaughter of his people crosses paths with Ed, who’s now an employee of the same military that carried out the massacre.

However, it’s Scar who’s getting by-name billing in the first follow-up, titled Fullmetal Alchemist: Scar the Avenger.
