First Live-Action Gundam: Pilots Clash in Space War

The highly anticipated first live-action Gundam movie is in production, starring Sydney Sweeney and Noah Centineo.

The film delves into a classic Gundam narrative, centering on rival mech pilots fighting on opposing sides of a protracted war between Earth and its former space colonies. This conflict escalates as allegiances shift and a growing threat propels the pilots into a perilous race across the galaxy, with humanity's fate hanging in the balance.

Legendary Pictures and Bandai Namco Filmworks are collaborating on this project. Filming is taking place in Queensland, Australia, under the direction of Jim Mickle. He is also producing alongside Linda Moran through their production company, Nightshade.

Netflix acquired the film's distribution rights in January. The ensemble cast also includes Shioli Kutsuna, Michael Mando, and Gemma Chua-Tran, with character details still under wraps.
