Henry Cavill to Star in ‘Voltron’ for Amazon MGM (Exclusive)
Rawson Marshall Thurber, the filmmaker behind the Netflix hit 'Red Notice,' is directing the live-action adaptation, which will shoot this fall in Australia.
Henry Cavill, the Superman actor and star of The Witcher, has come aboard to topline in the live-action feature based on the mecha anime that Rawson Marshall Thurber is directing.
The actor joins Daniel Quinn-Toye, the newcomer who impressed the studio and director with his West End work opposite Tom Holland, in leading the roll call.
Voltron is based on the Japanese sci-fi series Beast King GoLion and Kikou Kantai Dairugger XV. World Events edited and dubbed the series as a syndicated show, naming it Voltron: Defender of the Universe, which ran in the mid-1980s. The premise centered on five young pilots in a battalion named the Robot Lions, which are vehicles that join together to form a mega-robot known as Voltron.
The plot details for the new version is unclear. Thurber wrote the script with Ellen Shanman.
Producing are Todd Lieberman via Hidden Pictures, World Events Productions’ Bob Koplar, Thurber and Hobie Films’ David Hoberman.
I have no idea what Voltron is. After seeing this vid, it still doesn't ring a bell. But the robot looks cool.

A giant robot. Of course geeks are over the moon and, as always, I'm clueless. HC better look like HC in this film.
