Fullmetal Alchemist: The Final Chapter Trailer Teases The Story’s Final Act
A new trailer for the two-part, live-action Fullmetal Alchemist finale displays a score of fresh content ahead of the official release dates. The Fullmetal Alchemist manga by Hiromu Arakawa was a critical early building block of Western attraction to the medium, eventually becoming one of the most acclaimed anime series in history with the 2011 adaptation Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. This success led to a 2017 live-action adaptation which drew criticism from Seiji Mizushima (director of the 2003 anime adaptation released before the manga ended) and generally unsatisfied reactions from fans.
The 2017 production, directed by Fumihiko Sori and starring Ryosuke Yamada and Atomu Mizuishi as protagonists Edward and Alphonse Elric, respectively, covered the first significant portion of the FMA storyline. Edward and Al confront the crazed bio-alchemist Shou Tucker and face off against the homunculi Lust, Envy, and Gluttony for the first time. Despite the lukewarm reception of the adaptation, Japanese distributor Warner Bros. announced a split sequel that aims to complete the Elric brothers' story.

The Japanese footage does not clarify an international release date but reiterates the Japanese dates of May 20, 2022, for the first film, The Avenger Scar, and June 24, 2022, for the second, The Last Transmutation. The 2017 film came to Netflix a few months after the Japanese premiere date of December 1, 2017. Check out the trailer below:
