Fairy Tail: Dragon Cry Film Debuts New Key Visual

In less than a month, the original Fairy Tail will make a comeback. The franchise is set to bring heroes like Natsu and Lucy back into play when Fairy Tail: Dragon Cry gets release this summer. The action-packed feature is said to lead into the final arc of Fairy Tail as Hiro Mashima has confirmed his long-running manga has entered its final stretch. And, now, a brand-new poster for the Fairy Tail film has been released complete with a new key visual.

The ensemble poster highlights the main characters of Fairy Tail: Dragon Cry, and fans may wonder about the lack of a few mages. Natsu Dragneel can be seen front-and-center while Lucy and Erza stand to his side. Gajeel and Wendy can also be seen standing next to the Dragon Slayer as well. Happy and Carla are also shown flying by the pink-haired hero's side.

Shoji Yonemura penned the film's script while Yuuko Yamada oversaw all of its character designs. As for its music, Yasuharu Takanashi returned to score the feature. Back in May 2015, Kodansha's Weekly Shonen Magazine confirmed the feature was coming. The franchise's first film, Fairy Tail The Movie: Phoenix Princess, debuted back in 2012.

Set in a fictional Earth, a boy named Natsu teams up with an unlikely friend Lucy Heartfilia as the latter dreams of becoming a powerful wizard. To date, there are more than 250 episodes of the acclaimed series, and fans can expect more to come in the new year.
