Noah Centineo is in talks to join Legendary\u2019s live-action Gundam movie, potentially reuniting with the studio following his work on the upcoming Street Fighter film.<\/p>\n

The Gundam film is based on the Japanese anime franchise created by Yoshiyuki Tomino, which debuted in 1979 with Mobile Suit Gundam. The story takes place in the Universal Century, when humanity colonizes space and sparks a war between Earth and the colonies. Pilots fight these battles using mobile suits \u2014 giant mechanized robots.<\/p>\n

Jim Mickle writes and directs the adaptation. He also produces the film alongside Linda Moran under their Nightshade banner. Legendary and Bandai Namco Filmworks co-develop the project, which is expected to begin production soon. The title remains undisclosed.<\/p>\n

Sources claim that Sydney Sweeney plays the central character and actively participates in casting the male lead. The narrative follows a dynamic similar to Romeo & Juliet, with her character and the male lead on opposite sides of an interplanetary war who form a connection. Legendary was previously in talks with Drew Starkey for the role, but those discussions did not result in a deal.<\/p>\n

Centineo\u2019s previous credits include To All the Boys I\u2019ve Loved Before, Black Adam, Warfare, and The Recruit. He recently shot for Street Fighter, distributed by Paramount and scheduled for release in October 2026. He is also preparing to film a Rambo prequel for Lionsgate and will appear in Gabriel Basso\u2019s directorial debut, Iconoclast.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
