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.
