Shinji Higuchi, who directed the two movies has said that “A movie adaptation does not have to replicate the original, but I think it should still be an interesting piece of work. I wonder if this is achieved by the movie”. In that statement, Higuchi answered the points raised by many fans because the live-action movies will be a bit different from their source material as it will feature more modern weapons like RPGs and tanks, a larger colossal titan over 100 meters (Manga and anime colossal titan is only 50 meters), and the fact that the movies do not feature one of the series’ most popular characters, Levi.

Meanwhile, Haruma Miura, who plays Eren Yeager has thanked everyone for the support and is excited to see the movie himself while Kiko Mizuhara, who plays Mikasa Ackerman, says that she has “peace of mind” now that the filming is over.
