No details on Alphonse Elric, who appears in a giant suit of armor, have been revealed at this moment, but the director gave a hint that he's sure the fans would be satisfied with Alphonse.
The shooting will start in June in Italy, and it will also take place in Japan. They are aiming to finish filming it in the end of August, and it will open in theaters in winter of 2017.
