Fans of Gundam have something to look forward to in 2025. Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway’s Flash 2, the sequel to the 2021 movie, is officially in production. The update was shared at the recent Shochiku Anniversary Event, exciting fans who have been waiting for more of Hathaway Noa’s story.
Hathaway’s Flash 2 Is Coming Soon
Bandai Namco confirmed the sequel to Hathaway’s Flash is underway. While no exact release date was given, Shochiku, which has worked with Bandai Namco on anime films for years, mentioned that Hathaway’s Flash 2 would be part of their 2025-2026 movie lineup. This means fans will likely see the movie next year or possibly even later this year.
The first Hathaway’s Flash film, released in 2021, followed Hathaway Noa, a new leader in the Gundam universe. The movie is set in the same world as the original Gundam story, focusing on the conflicts between the Earth Federation and the Principality of Zeon. It is available to stream on Netflix.
The Gundam Universe Expands
The Gundam franchise has been around since the 1970s and has stayed relevant by exploring different timelines and alternate realities. One of the reasons Gundam has endured is its ability to revisit stories from the original series, like the iconic characters Amuro and Char. With Hideaki Anno, creator of Neon Genesis Evangelion, involved in the new anime series Gundam GQuuuuuux, fans can expect some surprises in the future of the franchise.
The upcoming Gundam anime and Hathaway’s Flash 2 are just a part of what’s shaping up to be an exciting year for the franchise, which is celebrating major anniversaries in 2025.
