Henry Cavill has been cast as the titular character in <\/cite>Amazon MGM Studios’ film adaptation of Voltron<\/em><\/strong>. The Superman<\/strong><\/em> actor will be directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber in the live-action feature that’s based on the mecha anime, according to The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Cavill will be joining up-and-coming actor Daniel Quinn-Toye in Voltron<\/em><\/strong>, which will shoot this fall in Australia The latter was cast in the movie after he impressed the studio and helmer with his West End theater work opposite Tom Holland.<\/p>\n

The animated Voltron<\/em><\/strong> television series was adapted from several Japanese anime shows from Toei Animation. The series was produced by Peter Keefe and Ted Koplar through their production company World Events Productions.<\/p>\n

The first season of Voltron<\/em><\/strong> featured the Lion Force Voltron and was adapted from the show Beast King GoLion<\/em><\/strong>. The second season, featuring the Vehicle Team Voltron, was adapted from the unrelated series Armored Fleet Dairugger XV<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Voltron: Defender of the Universe<\/em><\/strong> was the top-rated syndicated children’s show for two years during its original run in the mid-1980s. Its franchise then extended to three follow-up series, several comic books, a line of toys and video games.<\/p>\n

The animated small screen project focused on five young pilots in a battalion named the Robot Lions. The vehicles join together to form the eponymous mega-robot.<\/p>\n

The plot details for the upcoming live-action film starring the former The Witcher<\/strong><\/em> actor have not yet been released. Thurber wrote the movie’s script with Ellen Shanman.<\/p>\n

The Voltron<\/em><\/strong> film will be produced by Todd Lieberman via Hidden Pictures, World Events Productions’ Bob Koplar, Thurber and Hobie Films’ David Hoberman.<\/p>\n

Before he was cast in Voltron<\/em><\/strong>, Cavill appeared in two action thrillers this year, including helmer Matthew Vaughan’s Argyle<\/em><\/strong> for Apple Original Films and director Guy Ritchie’s The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare<\/em><\/strong> for Lionsgate. He also made an surprise cameo in this summer’s hit superhero sequel, Deadpool & Wolverine<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The DC Universe actor is reuniting with Ritchie for the upcoming action thriller In the Grey<\/em><\/strong>, which will star Jake Gyllenhaal and Eiza Gonzalez, as well. Cavill will also star in John Wick<\/strong><\/em> series director Chad Stahelski’s reboot of Highlander<\/em><\/strong>. The long-in-development reimagining is expected to shoots next year. The actor is also executive producing the Warhammer 40,000<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>franchise across all Amazon MGM Studios productions.<\/p>\n
