Two sequels were released in 2022: ''Fullmetal Alchemist: The Revenge of Scar'' and ''Fullmetal Alchemist: The Final Alchemy''. ~~==Plot==~~ The plot takes place at the beginning of the 20th century, in a reality where [[alchemy]] (ancient esoteric science that sought the transmutation of matter) is extremely developed and respected. The plot features brothers [[Edward Elric\|Edward]] and [[Alphonse Elric]], who after attempting the forbidden technique of human transmutation, suffer an accident. Alphonse dies and Edward loses his left leg. He then sacrifices his right arm to keep his brother's soul trapped in a metal armor. Using mechanical prosthetics known as "automail" that give him the nickname "Fullmetal Alchemist", Edward and Alphonse search for the legendary [[philosopher's stone]] that will retrieve their bodies. ==~~Cast~~ Plot == In the fictional country of Amestris, children [[Edward Elric]] and his younger brother [[Alphonse Elric\|Alphonse]] live in a rural town with their mother Trisha while self-learning alchemy. When the brothers commit the taboo act of Human Transmutation to resurrect Trisha after she dies of illness, it backfires and they face the consequences via the Law of Equivalent Exchange: Edward loses his left leg, while Alphonse is dragged into the Gate of Truth. Edward sacrifices his right arm to save his brother's soul and bind it to a suit of armor. His missing limbs are replaced with "automail" prosthetics made by the town's automail mechanic whose granddaughter, [[Winry Rockbell]], is the brothers' childhood friend.

After becoming the country's youngest State Alchemist with the title "Fullmetal Alchemist", he and Alphonse begin their quest to find the legendary [[Philosopher's Stone]] that can restore their bodies. Years later, the brothers, now teenagers, receive help from Major General Hakuro after another failed attempt to find the stone. Hakuro introduces them to Shou Tucker, a bio-alchemy authority who obtained his State Alchemist credentials by creating a talking chimera. Tucker points them to Dr. Tim Marcoh, who created a Philosopher's Stone prior to going into hiding. ~~==Production==~~ When Edward and Winry find Marcoh, he is murdered by Lust, an assassin. Upon return, Edward and Alphonse are horrified to discover that Tucker has transmuted his young daughter Nina, and his dog together to create a human talking chimera in a bid not to lose his State Alchemist credentials. They have Tucker arrested, though not before he tries to turn Alphonse against Edward, causing the brothers to fight. Edward and Mustang's close friend Major Maes Hughes makes a disturbing discovery from Marcoh's notes, but is killed by Lust's associate Envy. Using Marcoh's notes, Edward is led to the clandestine Fifth Laboratory, where he finds the now-insane Tucker holding Alphonse and Winry hostage. When Edward learns that Philosopher's Stones are unethically created from human lives, he has a breakdown, realizing he can no longer depend on that method. ~~===Development===~~ On adapting the source material, [[Fumihiko Sori]] said, "I want to create a style that follows the [[Fullmetal Alchemist\|original manga]] as much as possible. The cast is entirely Japanese, but the cultural background is [[Europe]]. However, it's a style that doesn't represent a specific race or country." Regarding the faithfulness of the adaptation, which has characters of non-Japanese ethnicity, the director said, "There will never be a scene in which a character says something that would identify him/her as Japanese." Lust kills Tucker, revealing herself as a homunculus. Hakuro reveals himself as their partner, divulging that the military made Philosopher's Stones using human hostages. He activates a Mannequin Soldier homunculi army with the Stones but is killed by them. As the military destroys the Mannequins, Mustang kills Lust and tears out the Philosopher's Stone that was powering her body. He gives Edward the stone so he can restore Alphonse but the brothers refuse, now knowing how they are made. Instead, Edward uses the stone to appear before his brother's corporeal body at the Gate of Truth and promises to find another way to restore him. Sori told [[Oricon]] he has a deep affection for the story that tells the "truth of living," and said, "It is my dearest wish to turn this wonderful story into a film, and it is not an exaggeration to say that I am living for this reason." He added that he "wants to create a wonderful film that uses techniques that challenge [[Hollywood]]," and noted that nowadays Japanese filmmaking techniques have progressed greatly.<ref name="ann"/> In a mid-credit scene, Envy is revealed to have survived Mustang's attack as its true parasitic form escapes from its human body's charred remains. ~~===Filming===~~ [[Principal photography]] took place in [[Italy]]. Shooting was spotted in [[Volterra]] on the first week of June and some scenes continued filming in [[Japan]] from June and wrapped up in August 26, 2016. == Cast == ~~Japanese [[VFX]] company OXYBOT inc. will provide the visual effects for the film.<ref name="ann"/>~~ {\| class="wikitable" \|- !

According to the director's press conference in March 2017: {{blockquote\| [S]ince the main characters are the two brothers, where there is Ed, there will always be Al.
