Henry Cavill isn’t the only big name attached to Amazon MGM Studios’ forthcoming Voltron movie.
Spotted on Deadline, Sterling K. Brown, Rita Ora, and John Kim have joined the cast of Amazon MGM Studios’ mysterious Voltron movie, based on the popular 80s anime cartoon.
Like with the announcement of Cavill and Daniel Quinn-Toye being a part of the film, Brown, Ora, and Kim’s roles in the upcoming film remain a mystery.
The film will be directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber, who also penned the script alongside Ellen Shanman. No details about the film’s plot were shared, but he did promise fans at Votlcon that his movie would keep the same energy as the classic cartoon.
“I want to make sure that we stay true to the heart and the spirit of Voltron. In this film, we’re going to be introducing an entirely new generation of pilots,” Huber said. “We’ve reimagined Voltron for the live-action world, but we’re going to stay true to … those iconic elements that you love, that I love. And I’m so excited to share it with you.”
The Voltron film isn’t the first new reimagining of the classic cartoon; Netflix’s 2016 animated series, Voltron: Legendary Defender from Dreamworks Animation, ran for 8 seasons and was a hit with fans of the giant fighting robot.
So, let the speculation begin. Fans have already been wondering who Cavill would play. Our guess would be Prince Lotor or maybe Keith, the leader of the Voltron Force, driver of the mighty black lion, and the one who forms the head.
As for Sterling K. Brown, we have no clue who he could be. Rita Ora, we can see her as Princess Allura.
We shall see.
