We don't know much about this live-action Voltron film. But if we refer to the work of its director, whose filmography includes films such as Dodgeball! Not even bad!, The Millers, a budding family, but above all a trio of films with Dwayne Johnson: Almost Secret Agents, Skyscraper, and Red Notice, we can expect action and a touch of humor. After Netflix and its “Voltron, the legendary defender””, an animated series produced by Dreamworks Animation aimed at younger audiences, it is now Amazon's turn to tackle robots from Japan.

While the adaptation of Warhammer 40k is reportedly on hold, Amazon seems to be keeping poor Henry Cavill busy with yet another attempt at a live-action adaptation. It remains to be seen what it will be worth. You have time before you can discover its First images, this film should begin shooting this fall in Australia. To date, no release date has been announced. Expect to see giant robots, collapsing buildings and planetary threats, it remains to be seen whether this Voltron film will be as spectacular as the first Pacific Rim. The first, not the two.
