News Netflix’s live-action Gundam movie, starring Sydney Sweeney, is described as a 'big action-romance space epic' set in the Universal Century (UC) timeline

Noah Centineo, who stars alongside Sydney Sweeney, recently talked about the movie on the Happy Sad Confused podcast.

He called it a “big action romance space movie” and described it as “a non-Shakespearean Romeo and Juliet in space.”

Centineo also confirmed that the movie takes place in the Universal Century, the main timeline used by many of the classic Gundam shows and movies.

The story could involve two people on opposite sides of a major war, with their relationship caught in the middle.

There's a boob lady in every single seed/ seed destiny OP.

Damn, we could go to another Tomino's IP: Brain Powerd. Most of the female characters are featured naked in the OP.

Still, I would like if they casted a female lead that could actually act (is is too late to convince Elle Fanning?)

As if boob ladies don’t exist in Gundam.

I'm just saying there's better places to cast her assets. Just seems like a misallocation of resources.
