Gundam Live-Action Cast

Legendary Entertainment and Netflix, in partnership with Bandai Namco Filmworks, have officially announced the start of production of the live-action Gundam movie, the highly anticipated feature adaptation of the globally iconic franchise. Production began this month in Queensland, Australia. 

Written and directed by Jim Mickle, the new film stars Sydney Sweeney and Noah Centineo. The expansive cast also includes Jackson White, Shioli Kutsuna, Nonso Anozie, Michael Mando, Javon ‘Wanna’ Walton, Oleksandr Rudynskyi, Ida Brooke, Gemma Chua-Tran, and Jason Isaacs.

For over 47 years, Gundam has stood as the defining mech franchise: the original giant robot phenomenon that inspired a global multimedia movement. Now, it’s coming to life as an original live-action adventure that follows rival mech pilots fighting on opposing sides of a decades-long war between Earth and its former 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 decide the fate of humanity. With awe-inspiring battles, intimate human emotion, and epic cinematic scale, this is Gundam like it’s never been seen before.

Gundam, which will be released by Netflix, is produced by Legendary Pictures in partnership with Bandai Namco Filmworks.

Mickle will produce with his partner Linda Moran through their company Nightshade, alongside Cale Boyter, Ali Mendes, Sydney Sweeney, Noah Centineo and Enzo Marc. Executive producers are Matthew Jenkins, Makoto Asanuma and Naohiro Ogata.

God Country

Netflix has picked up another comic property, God Country the comic series created by Donny Cates with art by Geoff Shaw, color by Jason Wordie, and lettering by John J. Hill. Legendary and AfterShock Media are producing the film with Jim Mickle directing. Mickle was announced as the director in June and adapted the screenplay along with Cates. Mary Parent, Ali Mendes, Lee Kramer, Jon Kramer, Jim Mickle and Linda Moran will produce the film.

God Country was originally published in 2017 by Image Comics to critical acclaim. The first issue immediately sold out and had to be reprinted four times before being collected in trade paperback.

In God Country, Emmett Quinlan is an elderly widower rattled by dementia. Emmett isn’t just a problem for his children–his violent outbursts are more than the local cops can handle. When a tornado levels his home–as well as the surrounding West Texas town–a restored Quinlan rises from the wreckage. An enchanted sword at the eye of the storm gives him not just a sound mind and body, but phenomenal power. He’s now the only man who can face the otherworldly creatures the sword has drawn down to the Lone Star State in a film that will bring a Western aesthetic to the superhero genre.
