Mobile Suit Gundam, the mecha anime series that launched Gundam as a media and toy franchise, will be celebrating its 40th anniversary next month.
Vaughan will also serve as executive producer on the Legendary Entertainment project, which is being co-produced by Sunrise.
The series is set in Universal Century, an era in which humanity’s growing population has led people to emigrate to space colonies.
Gundam has generated billions in the decades since and altered the course of anime while rewiring the ambitions and aesthetics of the mecha genre entirely.
