The Netflix Festival Japan 2021 event debuted a new concept art for Sunrise and Legendary Pictures’ live-action Gundam film on Tuesday.
The “Gundam Franchise’s New Work Unveiling” event in April 2018 had listed a tentatively titled Mobile Suit Gundam UC2 (Kidō Senshi Gundam UC2) project that would have an “overseas drama” format.
The listing said the project takes place in Universal Calendar 0104 and would launch in 2022.
Another factor that made the negotiations easier was that Legendary had less people, so decisions could be made quicker.
