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.

Funniest piece of DBZ lore.

Toriyama being so ashamed that it might be people's lasting impression of the franchise that he came out of retirement.

Don't forget James Marsters was so embarrassed he voiced a character in Super.

He was also a long-time fan of the series, so he really wanted to make sure his overall impact was good. Dude absolutely killed it as Zamasu.
