Sydney Sweeney, known for her roles in HBO's Euphoria, The White Lotus, Reality, Anyone but You, and the superhero film Madame Web, is reportedly in the final stages of negotiations to star in the upcoming live-action adaptation of the iconic anime and toy franchise, Mobile Suit Gundam. This exciting development was reported by Variety, although specific details about her character and the plot remain under wraps.
The live-action Gundam film, which is currently without an official title, entered production in February following an agreement between Bandai Namco and Legendary to co-finance the project. The movie is set to be written and directed by Kim Mickle, renowned for her work on Sweet Tooth. It is slated for a global theatrical release, though no specific release window or plot details have been disclosed yet. A teaser poster was released to build anticipation among fans.

Legendary and Bandai Namco have expressed their intention to gradually announce more details as they are finalized. The Mobile Suit Gundam series, which first aired in 1979, revolutionized the 'real robot anime' genre. It moved away from the traditional good vs. evil narrative prevalent in robot anime at the time, offering instead realistic portrayals of war, detailed scientific exploration, and complex human dramas. These elements, combined with the depiction of robots as 'mobile suits' or weapons, sparked a significant cultural phenomenon.
As fans eagerly await more updates, Sydney Sweeney's involvement adds an exciting dimension to this highly anticipated film.
