Brian K. Vaughan, known for writing Y: The Last Man, Ex Machina, Runaways and more, is reportedly penning the screenplay for an upcoming live-action adaptation of the Gundam franchise.
Reported by Deadline, Vaughan has signed on to write the screenplay for Legendary Entertainment, in a co-production with Sunrise, the Japanese studio behind the anime. Vaughan will also act as an executive producer.
This live-action Gundam film was announced in 2018, though details on its director, release date and more are still unknown. This year is the 40th anniversary of Mobile Suit Gundam, which was created by Yoshiyuki Tomino in 1979. The mech anime franchise has since grown and spawned numerous spinoffs, toy lines and more.
