More alleged spoilers for the plot of the Voltron movie under the break. But the big thing everyone seems to be confirming is this is a next generation story with none of the original characters, and is for all intents and purposes a loose remake.
-The film is a sequel to the Voltron series full of easter eggs and lore.
-It’s about a new group of young pilots being recruited to stop a resurrected Emperor Zarkon. (Daniel Quinn-Toye, Alba Baptista,John Kim,Samson Kayo,Tharanya Tharan)
-Sterling K Brown will play the main villain Emperor Zarkon (He will be in full on make up)
-Rita Ora will also be a Villain Haggar, the Galra witch
-Henry Cavill plays the son of Princess Allura and is the Mentor of the Voltron Team
-Daniel Quinn-Toye plays the lead, A young man named Mack (it’ll be a twist that he’s the son of one of the OG pilots). Gets a calling from the lions and will eventually lead the team of young pilots.
-There’s been a few test screenings so far and everyone loved it. Said the action is done really well. (Said Top Gun maverick style camera work as well)
MGM is currently figuring out if they want a theatrical release or not.
If true, this does confirm that everyone involved hated VLD, particularly as Voltron is an updated but mostly faithful version of the 80s design, and Henry Cavill being the son of white, blonde Allura. Also Maverick style camera work for super robot pilots.
