Cloud makes a return as the main character in the movie. He is all alone in the world, wondering if they done the right thing in attempting to save the planet. He now sports a new look wearing a black outfit instead of the purple from FFVII. He carries his trademark buster sword.
Although it is currently unknown as to what role Sephiroth will play in the movie, it is now likely that he will appear as more than just a flashback. We come to this conclusion as Square-Enix has listed him under the characters section of the official site.
Kadaj, One of the three Silver Haired Men [SHM]. He is in opposition to Cloud and appears to be the leader of the group. Nomura has said that the story will begin to revolve around the SHM. It has been noted that he bares a striking resemblance to Sephiroth. He uses a weapon which has been confirmed as being a refined double sword and has exceptional sword skills.
Loz, One of the three SHM, although the oldest of the group, he is a crybaby. His combat skills have been noted for his fight in the trailer with Cloud, and he has an extremely fast attack. He uses a weapon called "Dual Hound" which is both a shield and a gun.
Yazoo, Another of the SHM, however, as with all of them, little is known about what role he will play in the movie. His weapon appears to be a kind of gunblade, and is most likely the weapon confirmed to have the name "Velvet Nightmare".
(The Silver Haired Men seem to be Sephiroth Clones)
Barret Wallace, Leaving Marlene in Tifa's care, Barret is searching for a new energy to replace Mako. It has been confirmed that the function of his right arm has changed. Only one small scene showing him has been shown so far.
Tifa made her first appearance in Jump magazine fighting Loz. Her wardrobe has been updated with her appearing to wear something similar to Rinoa in FFVIII. She now looks after Marlene and other orphans while working at Seventh Heaven.
Vincent has been living in solitary, studying the world and knows something of the current events that are taking place. Trailers appear to have made references to "Jenova" in relation to him.
It is unknown if Reno is still working for ShinRa, or working independently with Rude. Recent images show him fighting Yazoo, and he is shown talking with Cloud, which seems to indicate opposition to the SHM.
Rude made first his appearance with Reno in the April Jump magazine. More recent images show him fighting Loz and with Reno, talking with Cloud.
Marlene's role in the movie is currently unknown, although Tetsuya Nomura hinted that she and her "friends" would play an important role.
Aerith has been shown as part of a flashback scene showing Cloud lowering her into the lake after her death. Recently, new images have been released of her, which only causes more speculation of her role.
Denzel appears to be one of the orphans who lives with Tifa. Whether he is related in any way to Marlene or the "children" theme of the movie is not known.
Only one image has been released of Cid so far, with no information. He is shown holding his trademark spear weapon, which assumes he may take part in a battle or be heading towards one.
Like Cid, only one image has been released of Red XIII and no information. Therefore his role in Advent Children is of course unknown at this time.
Kadaj is shown bowing down to a person in a wheelchair. He is covered completely in a white sheet or robe and only his hand can be seen. This is likely a man, due to the size of the hand that is shown. Possibly this could in fact be Sephiroth himself.
That is all known for the moment, any more info that I get I'll post here.
;D
