The first movie will open in Japan on August 1, and the second movie will open on September 19. Philippine film distributor Pioneer Films also announced that it will show both films in the Philippines on August 12 and September 23. Encore Films also announced on May that it will show both film in Singapore on August 1 and September 19.

Director Shinji Higuchi confirmed in July 2014 that the project will span two films. Higuchi stated that, with the supervision of Attack on Titan manga creator Hajime 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.

Isayama's manga depicts the battles between humans and the giants who now rule the world outside humans' walled enclaves.

The film stars:


Haruma Miura as Eren


Kiko Mizuhara as Mikasa


Kanata Hongō 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."

Isayama's original Attack on Titan manga has inspired four spinoff manga, a 25-episode television anime version that aired in 2013, and two compilation films, the second of which will open in June. Additionally, a second season of the television anime series is slated to air in 2016. Isayama launched the series in Bessatsu Shōnen Magazine in 2009.

Kodansha Comics is publishing Isayama's original manga in North America. Level Comics has been publishing the manga in Indonesia since 2013.

In North America, both Funimation and Crunchyroll streamed the anime adaptation of the manga as it aired in Japan, and Funimation released the series on home video in North America last year.
