“Attack on Titan” live action movie has confirmed its line up of cast by revealing 13 character visuals.

Many of the manga’s original characters including Eren, Armin, Hans, Mikasa, Sasha, and Jean are included although it is striking that the character Levi is not represented. Seven new characters are also created for the film story: Shikishima, Sannagi, Fukushi, Hiana, Lil, Souda, and Kubal. It was reported that Hasegawa’s character Shikishima holds the key to the film’s story as “humanity’s strongest man.”

Producer Sato Yoshihiro did not consider physical resemblance to the original character at all. After discussions with manga creator Isayama Hajime, cast selection came down to who could embody the spirit of their characters. The 2 part film will be released on Summer 2015.

The 13 characters:

1. Miura Haruma as Eren
2. Mizuhara Kiko as Mikasa
3. Hongo Kanata as Armin
4. Hasegawa Hiroki as Shikishima
5. Ishihara Satomi as Hans
