Production has officially commenced in Queensland, Australia, for the highly anticipated live-action adaptation of the iconic "Gundam" franchise, set to stream on Netflix.
Netflix announced via X that the film will be headlined by stars Sydney Sweeney and Noah Centineo. The story is set against the backdrop of a protracted space war.
The supporting cast includes Jackson White, Shioli Kutsuna, Nonso Anozie, Javon Walton, Oleksandr Rudynskyi, Ida Brooke, Gemma Chua-Tran, and Jason Isaacs.
Directed by Jim Mickle, the film will follow the original narrative of rival mech pilots fighting on opposing sides of a decade-long conflict between Earth and space colonies.
"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," according to the film's official description.
Netflix has not yet announced an official release date for the project.
