The original Gundam series, which began in 1979, is set in the Universal Century, an era in which people have emigrated to space colonies due to a growing population on Earth. Eventually, the people living in the colonies seek their autonomy, and launch a war of independence against the people living on Earth. Battles are fought by piloting robots known as mobile suits.

The massively popular series has led to multi-billion dollar sales in merchandise and licensing, including animated films, video games, plastic models, toys, and books. The Gundam movie will be overseen by Cale Boyter on behalf of Legendary with the Sunrise creative team.
