The live-action Gundam movie is quietly stacking up a very interesting cast. Jason Clarke has joined the upcoming adaptation from Legendary, where he’ll star alongside Sydney Sweeney and Noah Centineo, according to Deadline. While reps for Netflix and Legendary declined to comment, sources indicate the project is eyeing Netflix as its distributor. Clarke’s role — along with pretty much all plot details — is currently being kept tightly under wraps.

The film is being co-developed by Legendary and franchise owner Bandai Namco Filmworks, marking the first-ever live-action take on Mobile Suit Gundam. The long-running franchise, originally created by Yoshiyuki Tomino, launched in 1979 and helped pioneer the mecha subgenre — giant fighting robots, military politics, and deeply human drama wrapped in sci-fi spectacle. Decades later, the brand still generates over $600 million annually.
