According to Deadline HollywoodFantastic Beast and Where to Find Them producer David Heyman has set up a live-action Attack on Titan film at Warner Bros. To be specific, Warner Bros. is currenty negotiatiing with Kodnasha and Isayama for the rights so the deal is not final.  The North American film would be a remake of the 2015 Japanese 2-part adaptation from director Shinji Higuchi (presumably with a larger budget and better VFX).  The deal appears to be in the early stages but we'lll provide an update IF and WHEN it becomes finalized.

Recently, the second season of the anime from Studio WIT was confirmed to debut this April after a four year wait after the conclusion of season one.

Centuries ago, mankind was slaughtered to near extinction by monstrous humanoid creatures called titans, forcing humans to hide in fear behind enormous concentric walls. What makes these giants truly terrifying is that their taste for human flesh is not born out of hunger but what appears to be out of pleasure. To ensure their survival, the remnants of humanity began living within defensive barriers, resulting in one hundred years without a single titan encounter. However, that fragile calm is soon shattered when a colossal titan manages to breach the supposedly impregnable outer wall, reigniting the fight for survival against the man-eating abominations.

After witnessing a horrific personal loss at the hands of the invading creatures, Eren Yeager dedicates his life to their eradication by enlisting into the Survey Corps, an elite military unit that combats the merciless humanoids outside the protection of the walls. Based on Hajime Isayama's award-winning manga, Shingeki no Kyojin follows Eren, along with his adopted sister Mikasa Ackerman and his childhood friend Armin Arlert, as they join the brutal war against the titans and race to discover a way of defeating them before the last walls are breached.
