Fullmetal Alchemist, one of the greatest anime franchises of all time, is not just getting one live-action sequel movie this year, but two, and Warner Bros. has released new clips for the upcoming films' supporting characters and villains.
Over on Twitter, the official account for the live-action Fullmetal Alchemist movie series released five short clips that are each focused on a single member of the sequels' supporting cast.
The first trailer highlights a major villain, King Bradley, the leader of Amestris' military forces, and another trailer features Envy, a shapeshifting homunculus who harbors a strong resentment towards humanity.
The third clip highlights Van Hohenheim, Edward and Alphonse Elric's estrange father who mysteriously disapeared when they were young.
The final two clips feature Xing prince Ling Yao and his retainer, Lan Fan, who venture to the country Amestris in order to find the Philosopher's Stone, the same powerful artifact that the Elric brothers and many of the series' villains are after.
