A few key points about the live-action adaptations
One thing that fans must know is that the Attack on Titan live-action films are vastly different from the manga. Hajime Isayama, the mangaka of the series, suggested a host of changes that give the films a storyline that differs from the manga. The setting was also changed in the film.
The manga features a European-like setting that has been modified to a Japanese setting. While there are characters like Eren (played by Haruma Miura) and Mikasa Ackerman (played by Kiko Mizuhara), there were changes made to the character list as well.
Viewers will notice that the fan-favorite character, Levi Ackerman, is not present in the film. Instead, a character named Shikishima (played by Hiroki Hasegawa) was introduced. It is important for fans to manage their expectations as the Attack on Titan live-action films differ quite a bit from the original source material.
