What is Netflix’s live-action Gundam movie? Plot, production staff, and more
The legendary Gundam franchise is making its major Hollywood debut with a high-budget, live-action adaptation on Netflix.
Rather than retelling an existing series, the film introduces an original story set within the franchise’s established universe of giant mechs and interstellar warfare.

The plot follows two rival pilots caught on opposite sides of a decades-long war between Earth and its space colonies.
As the conflict intensifies and loyalties are tested, their journey takes them across the galaxy with the future of humanity at stake.
Since its debut in 1979, the Gundam franchise has become one of the most influential sci-fi properties in entertainment history. The original series, Mobile Suit Gundam, was produced by the animation studio Sunrise and directed by Yoshiyuki Tomino.
It introduced the world to a more grounded form of science fiction, where giant robots were treated as military weapons rather than invincible superheroes.
Netflix’s live-action Gundam film is written and directed by Jim Mickle (Sweet Tooth) in a joint production between Legendary Pictures and Bandai Namco Filmworks. Filming is underway in Queensland, Australia.
