Noah Centineo in Talks to Co‑Star in Legendary’s Live‑Action Gundam

The unfinalized deal would pair him with Sydney Sweeney in Jim Mickle’s adaptation as the film targets an early‑2026 shoot.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets report Centineo is negotiating to join the cast, and Legendary declined to comment on the dealmaking.
  • Sweeney is positioned as the focal lead, and sources say she has had a hand in choosing her on‑screen counterpart.
  • Sweet Tooth creator Jim Mickle is writing and directing the untitled feature and will produce with Linda Moran through their Nightshade banner.
  • Production is being eyed for Australia in early 2026, and while story details are under wraps, niche reports hint at One Year War and 08th MS Team influences that remain unconfirmed.
  • Drew Starkey’s earlier talks for the male lead did not close, and Centineo’s potential casting follows his work on Legendary’s Street Fighter and a planned Rambo prequel.
