Will The Seven Deadly Sins: Grudge of Edinburgh kick-start the story of The Four Knights of the Apocalypse?
No matter how many spin-off movies are released for The Seven Deadly Sins, the future of the franchise rests firmly in the hands of the spin-0ff sequel story The Four Knights of the Apocalypse.
The story of The Four Knights of the Apocalypse revolves around Percival, the son of the Camelot holy knight Ironside, who learns he is destined to become the Knight of Death of the Four Knights of the Apocalypse, an order of Holy Knights prophecized by King Arthur Pendragon that will bring destruction to the world.
We’re not sure if we’ll see any of Percival in the upcoming movie, however, the seeds may be sown to what lays ahead for Tristan, and how he’ll later appear in the story of The Four Knights of the Apocalypse.
Who is behind the animation of the movie?
The elephant in the room is the upcoming movie will have a radically different animation from the anime series. Taking over from Studio Deen for the movies is the animation studios Alfred Imageworks and Marvy Jack.
Fans of the Seven Deadly Sins mobile game Grand Cross will be familiar with the work of Alfred Imageworks.
