Sydney Sweeney ("Euphoria", "Anyone But You") is in final talks to star in Legendary's "Gundam" live-action movie co-developed with Bandai Namco Filmworks. The film will be written and directed by "Sweet Tooth" showrunner Jim Mickle. The project was first announced in 2021, and at the time it was supposed to be directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts ("Kong: Skull Island").
Plot and character details are currently under wraps. Mickle also serves as a producer on the project with Linda Moran through their company, Nightshade.
The Japanese "Gundam" franchise first launched in 1979 with the TV series "Mobile Suit Gundam" from Yoshiyuki Tomino. As it grew in popularity during the 1980s it was followed by several feature films, novels, manga, toys, models and video games. The original series is set in the distant future in what is known as the Universal Century, as human colonies in space fight for independence from Earth. The battles are fought largely through giant robots called Mobile Suits.
In the meantime, Sweeney is set to appear in the AppleTV+ film "Echo Valley" alongside Julianne Moore, the Freida McFadden adaptation "The Housemaid" in which she stars opposite Amanda Seyfried, Colman Domingo's "Scandalous" and an untitled biopic in which she stars as boxer Christy Martin. She's also expected to return for the third season of HBO's "Euphoria" alongside Zendaya and Jacob Elordi.
