Aside from Edward Elric, Anime News Network reported that the trailer also featured AI, Yamada's younger brother in the movie. Although the trailer did not fully focus on Al's character, fans already felt excitement as they were given a slice of how the two siblings fight in a battle.

The movie is the first adaptation of the hit anime series, "Fullmetal Alchemist." Collider reported that should the directors of the movie decide to follow the manga storyline, the movie will revolve around the journey of Edward in obtaining the Philosopher's Stone, which is believed to be able to help him restore his arms and his brother's body into human flesh after they turned into metals.

Many fans expect that the live action movie does not mess up the original manga's story as the manga previously received positive feedback. The movie will be produced through Warner Bros.

The movie's director Fumihiko Sori said that the cast members of "Fullmetal Alchemist" are all Japanese, although the movie will have westernized setting.
