Vaughan – finest identified for Y: The Final Man and Saga. Earlier immediately, although, Legendary Footage and the newly established Bandai Namco Filmworks re-announced {that a} live-action Gundam movie is within the works, merely described as a “Hollywood live-action movie adaptation of the Cell Go well with Gundam collection.” There’s completely zero plot particulars which have been shared exterior of that, although the press launch did notice that the pair of corporations plans to “steadily announce particulars as they grow to be finalized.”
It was truly reported in October of final 12 months {that a} Gundam movie is coming, with Candy Tooth director Jim Mickle each writing and directing this explicit adaptation, so it does appear that each Vogt-Roberts and Vaughan are each out for the rely on this one.
