Sydney Sweeney's New Netflix Sci-Fi Space Epic Gets First Details
Netflix's live-action Gundam adaptation stars Sydney Sweeney and Noah Centineo in a Shakespearian action romance space movie epic.
Netflix's upcoming live-action Gundam film, featuring Sydney Sweeney, has finally revealed some details about its plot. Director Jim Mickle shared with the Happy Sad Confused podcast that the movie is a big action romance set in space. Noah Centineo, one of the stars, described it as "a non-Shakespearean Romeo and Juliet in space," which suggests the story revolves around star-crossed lovers caught in a generational conflict.
The film will take place in the Universal Century timeline, where many iconic Gundam stories have unfolded, such as the original series. The synopsis mentions intense battles, deep emotional connections, and a cinematic scale that defines humanity's fate. Alongside Sydney Sweeney and Noah Centineo, the ensemble cast includes seasoned actors like Jason Isaacs, Michael Mando, and Jackson White.
The movie is set to hit Netflix once filming wraps up this July, bringing excitement to Gundam fans and introducing a new animated series and game set in the same universe.
