This attempt ended in failure, resulting in Edward losing a part of his own body, while his younger brother Alphonse lost his entire body and became a soul trapped in a suit of armor. Day by day, Edward tirelessly searches for a way to restore his brother’s body, fully aware that the task is a nearly impossible mission.
Recently, it was announced that the beloved manga series Fullmetal Alchemist by Hiromu Arakawa will be adapted into a live-action film. The film’s production team has officially launched a website counting down to the movie’s release date, set for April 4, 2017.
