Live-Action Gundam Film Project Gains Momentum with New Cast Member

The live-action Gundam film project, a collaboration between Sunrise and Legendary Pictures, has added Jason Clarke to its cast. Deadline reported the news, indicating progress in the development of this highly anticipated adaptation.

Netflix to Distribute the Film

According to Deadline, Netflix is set to distribute the live-action Gundam film. This suggests a wide audience reach for the project, potentially bringing the iconic mecha franchise to viewers globally through the streaming platform.

Star-Studded Cast Taking Shape

In addition to Jason Clarke, the film is expected to feature Sydney Sweeney and Noah Centineo. Sweeney was reportedly in final talks as of March 2025, while Centineo was in discussions to join the cast in November.

Bandai Namco Expands its Presence in the US

Bandai Namco Holdings USA Inc. has established a new subsidiary, Bandai Namco Filmworks America, LLC. This move aims to expand foreign licensing business and brand management, aligning with the planned live-action film.

Joint Investment Agreement

Bandai Namco Filmworks and Legendary Pictures have signed a joint investment agreement for the film. This agreement signifies a strong commitment from both companies to the project.

Jim Mickle to Write and Direct

Jim Mickle, known for his work on the Sweet Tooth show, is writing and directing the Gundam film. He is also producing the film with Linda Moran through their Nightshade company.

Previous Netflix Involvement

Netflix had previously announced plans to stream an earlier version of the Gundam project worldwide and shared concept art in November 2021. Jordan Vogt-Roberts was attached to direct and executive produce at the time, with Brian K. Vaughan writing the script and serving as an executive producer.

Origins of the Collaboration

The Gundam Unicorn cameo in Pacific Rim: Uprising played a role in establishing the relationship between Sunrise and Legendary Pictures. This led to discussions about a Gundam film project.

Key Figures Involved

Robert Napton moderated a panel segment about the live-action film project at Anime Expo in July 2018, alongside Mitsuaki Taguchi.

Tentative Mobile Suit Gundam UC2 Project

A tentatively titled Mobile Suit Gundam UC2 project was listed in April 2018, suggesting an overseas drama format set in Universal Calendar 0104. However, the project was quickly dismissed by event attendees.
