During the recent Gundam Conference SPRING 2026, director Jim Mickle personally shared a new production update with fans, confirming that the highly anticipated project is now officially in production.
The update immediately became one of the biggest talking points of the conference as Mickle promised fans “amazing sets” inspired by some of the most iconic ships and mobile suits in Gundam history, while also mentioning completely new additions created for the film. Even with the brief update, it was clear the production aims to capture the scale and atmosphere that fans have imagined for years.
Mickle also emphasized that while Gundam is known for its large-scale conflicts, war, and explosive mobile suit battles, the heart of the movie will still focus on human stories and emotional connections. That statement alone resonated strongly with longtime fans, especially those who have always believed Gundam was at its best when balancing action with the emotional cost of war.
The film stars Sydney Sweeney and Noah Centineo in leading roles, alongside a growing cast that includes Michael Mando, Shioli Kutsuna, Jason Isaacs, and several other major names attached to the project.
Production for the movie is currently taking place in Queensland, including locations across the Gold Coast and Toowoomba areas in Australia. Large-scale filming has reportedly been taking place at Village Roadshow Studios along with other massive outdoor set locations designed to bring Gundam’s futuristic environments to life.
This latest update finally makes the live-action Gundam movie feel real after years of waiting, rumors, and development changes.
