After the recent success of Godzilla vs. Kong, another larger-than-life live-action film is being produced.
Gundam is slated for a live-action adaptation.
While a live-action movie has been in the works for a while, the recent announcement by Netflix is seen as a huge step forward.
According to Engadget, Netflix has the worldwide rights to the film, except in China, "where Legendary Pictures will release it in theaters".
The project will be helmed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts, the director of Kong: Skull Island.
