At long last, the Gundam live action film produced by Legendary and distributed by Netflix supposedly begins filming this month of April 2026! The live action film has been a favorite topic of ours so we examine how the film and our expectations have changed over the years. Former Writer Brian K Vaughn (Y: The Last Man, Ex Machina) and director Jordan Vogt-Roberts (Kong: Skull Island) have been replaced by new writer/director Jim Mickle (Sweet Tooth). The announced cast consists (so far) of Noah Centineo, Sydney Sweeney, Michael Mando, Shiola Kutsuna, and Gemma Chua-Tran.

Brian hopes for a successful adaptation in the vein of Super Mario and less of Avatar: The Last Airbender, while Isaac aims high with the latest Dune films. While the plot is under wraps, Brian bets on 08th MS Team or an original story, whereas Isaac holds firm it's a modified 0079 where the Gundam is replaced with AmeriMech, the USA's giant robot that fights with fists of justice. Plus, who is Sydney Sweeney playing: Lalah Sune, Fraw Bow, Aina Sahalin, or.... maybe Kuzco Al? In order to find out, we dispatch our man on the ground, Australian Isaac, to survey the filming and report back!

On March 4, 2026, Bandai lifted the curtain on Gundam Assemble - the new Gundam-themed tabletop wargame coming October 2026! We're excited to build our armies and start playing, so we dive in and discuss the game mechanics, the MS selection in the Starter/Deluxe/Expansion sets, the ship scale, potential rules for larger battles (like A Baoa Qu!), and more! Plus, Isaac forgets how to pronounce Kshatriya and we ogle the Japanese colony model!
