Yup you read that title right! Apparently Warner Bros has announced that there is going to be a Full Metal Alchemist live action movie!
I’m actually really excited about this and can’t wait to see what is in store for this live action movie. I know that it is far and few between that live action anime films turn out well but I’m hopeful for this one.
Also from what I read it seems that the entire cast is Asian and this is a breath of fresh air after the white washing fiasco with the Ghost In The Shell live action and Marvel’s Doctor Strange.
The film is due to be released sometime next year and I can’t wait to find out more. But what do you think of Full Metal Alchemist becoming a live action film? Comment down below and let me know!

I’m cautiously excited. The problem will become with what they include in the movie because there is no way to actually convey the whole story in a film and if they try to cram a whole bunch of details in they are just going to end up with a mess. Hopefully they choose the story they want to tell carefully and don’t just try to string the plot highlights together.
Yeah I hope that they will be able to convey a wonderful story without leaving out anything substantial.
Now after reading this, I am kinda looking forward to it. I hear that the alchemy was going to be worked with CGI but looks like magic.
That would be awesome! It would kind of be similar to Harry Potter
I didn’t think about it but now that you mention it, it might be like Harry Potter except it will have alchemists instead. I would like to see what the homunculus would look like.
I just hope they get the characters right this time (i.e. personality-wise). And the guy playing Edward better be short lol.
Yeah me too
I agree with Karandi…cautiously excited. They had better put a lot of money and hard work into FMA, or they’ll just end up ruining it. It’s easy to make a live action movie into an animated movie/series…but not the other way around!
Yeah I definitely hope that it isn’t a fiasco like dragon ball evolution
Agreed!
