After the conclusion of Attack on Titan with the “The Last Attack” movie, many fans are speculating about potential new directions or possibilities for the franchise. Here are some exciting ideas and possibilities that could emerge:
1. Spin-offs and Prequels
- “The Titan War” Prequel: There could be a deeper exploration of the wars that shaped the world of Attack on Titan, particularly the conflicts between Marley and the Eldians before the events of the main story. The rise of Marley’s military and the origins of the Titans could make for an intriguing backstory.
- Levi’s Backstory: A series focused on Levi Ackerman’s past could offer fans more about his training, early battles, and what shaped him into the “strongest soldier.” His personal struggles, including his relationship with his uncle Kenny Ackerman, could offer emotional depth.
- The First Titan War: A look at the ancient history of the Titans, focusing on Ymir Fritz and the battles that led to the creation of the Eldian Empire could be fascinating. This would explore the creation of the Titans, the rise of the Eldian Empire, and the conflict between Eldia and Marley.
2. Standalone Films or Series
- “Attack on Titan: Marley Chronicles”: Set during the time when Marley controlled the Eldian people, this series could follow the lives of warriors such as Reiner Braun, Annie Leonhart, and Bertholdt, showing their lives growing up in Marley, their indoctrination, and eventual training to become warriors.
- “Historia Reiss’s Story”: Historia, the true heir to the throne of the Walls, is a character with a rich backstory. A film or series about her childhood and rise to power, along with her personal struggles as a ruler, could provide new perspectives on the Attack on Titan universe.
3. Expanding the World
- The World Beyond the Walls: The Attack on Titan universe hints at other countries beyond Marley, such as the “Eastern Forces.” Exploring how these countries dealt with the Titans or how they fought back against the Eldian Empire could be fascinating. How do other civilizations deal with the existence of the Titans?
- The Aftermath of the Rumbling: After the events of The Last Attack, the world is in ruins. What happens next? A sequel exploring the rebuilding of civilization after Eren’s plan might allow for new factions and conflicts to emerge, along with exploring how the world reacts to the idea of rebuilding without the constant threat of Titans.
4. Theories Around Eren and His Legacy
- Eren’s True Intentions: Many fans still debate Eren’s true motivations. A deeper dive into his psyche, perhaps through flashbacks or alternate realities, could provide more clarity on why he made the decisions he did.
- Zeke’s Legacy: Zeke Yeager played a significant role in the final events. Exploring the aftermath of his death and how his ideals might have affected the world could offer an interesting follow-up.
5. Manga or Novel Adaptations
- Adaptation of “Lost Girls”: The Attack on Titan side story, “Lost Girls,” which focuses on Annie Leonhart, could be expanded into a full series or even a feature film. It delves into Annie’s background, motivations, and her time as a warrior candidate in Marley.
- Side Stories of the Survey Corps: Novels or manga about other members of the Survey Corps, such as Jean Kirstein, Sasha Blouse, or Connie Springer, would add depth to secondary characters who played crucial roles in the main series.
6. Video Games and Interactive Experiences
- New Video Games: Given the success of past Attack on Titan video games, a new game that expands the world beyond the original story—perhaps with a focus on post-Rumbling survival or exploration of Marley and the lands beyond—would be a great way to keep the fanbase engaged.
- Virtual Reality: A VR game that lets players experience the world of Attack on Titan could offer fans the chance to fight Titans up close and personal. Imagine having to climb walls, fight Titans, or even experience a battle from the perspective of a Titan shifter.
7. Merchandise and Theme Parks
- Real-Life Titan Theme Park: Imagine a theme park dedicated to Attack on Titan, where fans could experience the thrill of standing on walls, battling Titans, and even eating food from the series.
- High-Quality Collectibles: Limited-edition Titan figures, posters, and art books could continue to release as part of the ongoing fandom excitement, providing fans with pieces of art and memories from their favorite show.
8. Manga Continuations or Alternative Universes
- Alternate Timeline or Universe: Some fans have suggested that Attack on Titan could explore alternative universes where different choices were made, such as Eren not initiating the Rumbling or Marley winning the conflict. This could lead to entirely new storylines where the characters face different challenges.
- The Hidden Truth: While much of the mystery surrounding the Titans has been explored, there could still be hidden truths in the world of Attack on Titan. Discovering what truly happens beyond the walls or exploring the true origin of the Titans could be an exciting next chapter.
