Work is still underway on Amazon MGM Studios’ live-action Voltron movie, and the latest update has three more cast members getting in on the adaptation. While further details are light, we now know that Sterling K. Brown (Black Panther, The Predator) is joining the cast alongside Rita Ora (Pokémon: Detective Pikachu) and John Kim (The Little Things).
Based on classic localized ’80s staple Voltron: Defender of the Universe—which itself started as Toei Animation’s Beast King GoLion anime in 1981—the live-action Voltron also stars Henry Cavill and Daniel Quinn-Toye. Rawson Marshall Thurber is directing, based on a script Thurber wrote with Ellen Shanman. In a VoltCon video message, Thurber added that they are “going to be introducing an entirely new generation of pilots” in the film, and have “reimagined Voltron for the live-action world” while staying true to the “iconic elements that you love.” Stay tuned for more on this one as further details are divulged.
