Netflix and Legendary’s live-action Gundam movie has officially started production, and the cast keeps growing.
New Cast Members Join Gundam
New additions to the ensemble include Jackson White, Nonso Anozie, Javon Walton, Oleksandr Rudynskyi, Ida Brooke, and Jason Isaacs. Character details are being kept under wraps.
They join previously announced cast members Sydney Sweeney and Noah Centineo, who lead the movie. The ensemble also includes Shioli Kutsuna, Michael Mando, and Gemma Chua-Tran.
Plot Details Revealed
The live-action Gundam movie follows rival mech pilots on opposite sides of a decades-long war between Earth and its former space colonies.
As loyalties begin to shift and a bigger threat emerges, the two are pulled into a race across the stars that could decide the fate of humanity.
That setup gives the movie a more personal angle while keeping the larger war at the center of the story.
Jim Mickle Directs For Netflix And Legendary
Jim Mickle is directing the movie from his own script. He is also producing alongside Linda Moran through their Nightshade banner.
Other producers include Cale Boyter, Ali Mendes, Sydney Sweeney, Noah Centineo, and Enzo Marc. Executive producers are Matthew Jenkins, Makoto Asanuma, and Naohiro Ogata.
The movie is being produced by Legendary Pictures in partnership with Bandai Namco Filmworks.
Deadline first reported on the casting and plot news.
