Imagine colossal robots clashing across the stars while empires rise and fall, a world where loyalty, rivalry, and war are all measured in metal and fire. Gundam, the legendary franchise born in 1979, first stunned audiences with Amuro Ray and Char Aznable’s bitter feud.

Even if the original show stumbled out of the gate, model kits saved its fate, launching decades of epic storytelling. Now, with the ever-busy Sydney Sweeney on board, this could bring humanity to this mechanical chaos, stepping into a live-action universe fans have dreamed of for years.

As the cast is fixed and the plot still mysterious, it seems that Netflix is eyeing the upcoming live-action Gundam that promises epic battles, high-stakes drama, and a legendary franchise finally stepping off screens into real-world chaos.

According to sources telling Deadline, Netflix is in talks to distribute the Sydney Sweeney and Noah Centineo-starring live-action Gundam movie. Bandai Namco Filmworks and Legendary have co-developed the project from director Jim Mickle's script.

Sweeney, known for Euphoria, The White Lotus, and Anyone But You, was in final talks by March 2025, while Centineo’s casting, recognized for To All the Boys and Black Adam, reportedly occurred in November. 

Jim Mickle, acclaimed showrunner and director of Sweet Tooth, is reported to both direct and write the script for the live-action Gundam movie. Partner Linda Moran will co-produce through their company Nightshade, adding her creative touch, per the outlet.

Even Noah Centineo joins behind the scenes, collaborating with his company head, Enzo Marc. With this powerhouse team, the film promises to blend visionary storytelling and high-stakes action. Speculation now grows over what roles Sydney Sweeney and Noah Centineo might bring to life in this epic Gundam universe.
