“#Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway Film Gets New Trailer, Soma Saito Joins Cast”

Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway

Back in November, plans changed for the first part of the Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway anime film, which was originally lined up for a July 23, 2020 premiere. The COVID-19 pandemic forced the film to be pushed back to a May 7, 2021 opening, and now we have a new minute-long trailer for another sample of what the trilogy has to offer.

Hathaway will be getting 4D and Dolby Cinema screenings on day one and will be released in 214 theaters, marking the biggest rollout in Gundam history. You can check out an English-subtitled version of the new trailer below.

There's also a new cast addition, with Soma Saito (Hermes in Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?, Tadashi Yamaguchi in Haikyu!!) getting in on the action as Lane Aim.

The trilogy is based on Yoshiyuki Tomino's Mobile Suit Gundam: Senkou no Hathaway / Hathaway's Flash novel, which was published across three volumes by Kadokawa Sneaker Bunko from 1989 to 1990. According to Sunrise producer Naohiro Ogata, while the novel was written as a sequel to Tomino's 1988 novel Mobile Suit Gundam Char's Counterattack – Beltorchika Children (based on his rejected first draft for the 1988 film Mobile Suit Gundam Char's Counterattack), the upcoming anime will be produced as a sequel to the Char's Counterattack anime film.
