There are two new live-action Fullmetal Alchemist movies coming out, and a new trailer has dropped for both of them. The first of the two movies is Hagane no Renkinjutsushi: Kanketsu-hen – Fukushūsha Scar (translated as Fullmetal Alchemist: Final Chapter – The Avenger Scar) and the second is Hagane no Renkinjutsushi: Kanketsu-hen – Saigo no Rensei (translated as Fullmetal Alchemist: Final Chapter – The Last Transmutation). Fifteen different characters get a short time to shine in the trailer.

Hagane no Renkinjutsushi: Kanketsu-hen – Fukushūsha Scar hits Japanese theaters on May 20. A little over a month later Hagane no Renkinjutsushi: Kanketsu-hen – Saigo no Rensei will come out on June 24. Both films are directed by Fumihiko Sori.
The previous live-action Fullmetal Alchemist movie came out in 2017.
VIZ Media publishes the original Fullmetal Alchemist manga created by Hiromu Arakawa. It gave this description of the series:
“In an alchemical ritual gone wrong, Edward Elric lost his arm and his leg, and his brother Alphonse became nothing but a soul in a suit of armor. Equipped with mechanical ‘auto-mail’ limbs, Edward becomes a state alchemist, seeking the one thing that can restore his and his brother’s bodies…the legendary Philosopher’s Stone.”
