Bandai Namco Filmworks and Netflix have just released further details on the upcoming live-action Gundam movie, and we now know that it will star Sydney Sweeney and Noah Centineo.
Sweeney, known for her work in The Housemaid and Euphoria, and Centineo, known for his roles in Street Fighter and Warfare, have touched down in Queensland, Australia, to begin production, with Jim Mickle (Sweet Tooth, Cold in July) directing the film.
The Gundam live-action is set to follow the mecha anime’s storyline and themes of Earth colonies, war, espionage, and talented soldiers piloting advanced “mobile suits” known as Gundams. “As shifting allegiances and a growing threat set them on a collision course for one another, they’re pulled into a high-stakes race across the stars that could define the fate of humanity. With awe-inspiring battles, intimate human emotion, and an epic cinematic scale, this is Gundam like it’s been seen before,” reads a description of the film.
