Live-Action Gundam Movie Gains Momentum with Noah Centineo Joining Sydney Sweeney
Hollywood’s long pursuit of a live-action Mobile Suit Gundam film is heating up, as Legendary Pictures continues to assemble a promising cast. following the addition of Sydney Sweeney earlier this year, actor Noah Centineo is now in talks to star alongside her in this highly anticipated adaptation.
Legendary is being deliberately tight-lipped about the casting process, citing a desire for sensitivity surrounding the roles. Previously, the studio considered Queer star Drew Starkey for the part before shifting focus to Centineo, known for his roles in Black Adam and the upcoming Street Fighter movie.
Sweeney is reportedly playing an active role in selecting her co-star, reflecting the central dynamic of the film.The story will center on two characters from opposing sides of a planetary war who develop a connection despite their allegiances.
A Familiar Story? The 08th MS team Connection
While the plot remains largely under wraps, clues suggest the film may draw inspiration from The 08th MS Team, a beloved anime series within the Gundam universe. this series focuses on the complex relationship between Aina Sahalin, a pilot from the Principality of Zeon, and Shiro Amada, an Earth Federation ensign.
Their story unfolds during the One Year War, where a chance encounter during a rescue mission sparks a forbidden connection. Like the described dynamic in the upcoming film, Aina and Shiro grapple with their growing feelings amidst escalating conflict.
What to Expect from the Gundam Movie
Currently, the film is being written and directed by Jim Mickle, the creator of Sweet Tooth. Legendary has remained intentionally vague about the overall narrative, leaving room for a possibly original story within the established Gundam lore.
You can anticipate further details as production progresses. This project represents a meaningful step forward in bringing the iconic mecha franchise to a wider audience.
