MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM HATHAWAY The Sorcery of Nymph Circe is the highly anticipated latest installment in the MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM HATHAWAY film series, which first premiered in theaters in Japan in 2021 and achieved major box office success. MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM HATHAWAY is regarded as one of the most emotionally intense human dramas in the Gundam franchise. The story focuses on protagonist Hathaway Noa, leader of the anti-Earth Federation Movement "MAFTY," whose fate becomes intertwined with the mysterious young woman Gigi Andalucia, and Captain Kenneth Sleg, an officer of the Earth Federation Forces.

In this latest installment, the film continues to follow Hathaway as he struggles between his unresolved feelings for Gigi and his mission aligned with MAFTY, Kenneth preparing for the suppression of MAFTY, and Gigi herself, whose presence will alter the course of both men's destinies in an intense space opera of drama, combat, and emotional complexity. The film arrives in theaters across Japan this winter and the United States at a date to be confirmed.

Brought to life by a stellar voice cast, led by Kensho Ono together with director Shuko Murase and a team of highly accomplished staff, MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM HATHAWAY The Sorcery of Nymph Circe will deliver a supreme visual experience that can truly be called the pinnacle of the Gundam series. Kensho Ono (voicing Hathaway Noa), Reina Ueda (voicing Gigi Andalucia), and Junichi Suwabe (voicing Kenneth Sleg) share their thoughts on portraying characters within this impactful film.

Kensho Ono (Hathaway Noa) Comment:
"This is all crazy.

Hathaway is a man who questions the world itself — torn by doubts about what justice means and what he is truly fighting for. He suffers in solitude as he struggles with those questions, while Gigi's presence grows ever larger, spiraling out of control. Is it the world that's gone mad, or is it something else?

I hope you look forward to seeing the answer unfold on screen."

Reina Ueda (Gigi Andalucia) Comment:
"Does Gigi truly realize that she holds the power to influence the course of this conflict — or not? There are moments where it almost sounds as if she's toying with the very syllables of "Hathaway Noa," yet beneath that playfulness lies someone who struggles and thinks deeply.

I hope audiences will be able to feel that sincerity and complexity in her performance."

Junichi Suwabe (Kenneth Sleg) Comment:
"Thank you all for your patience — I've been eagerly waiting for this moment myself. The second chapter of Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway is finally here! The trailer alone gave me goosebumps with its escalating tension. The story of those swept along by destiny moves forward once again. Please look forward to it!"

Story Synopsis
The year is U.C.0105, twelve years after Char's Rebellion. "MAFTY" has begun resisting the Federation government's tyrannical rule by assassinating its high-ranking officials. Its leader is actually Hathaway Noa, the son of Bright Noa, who fought in the One Year War alongside Amuro Ray.

A girl named Gigi Andalusia, who displays uncanny powers, has reminded Hathaway of a past trauma. Though he is bewildered by her words, he prepares to carry out an air raid on the Adelaide conference, determined to fulfill MAFTY's goals and lay his own past to rest.

Haunted by past trauma, Hathaway is drawn to the mysterious girl Gigi Andalucia, whose strange powers stir memories within him. While swayed by her cryptic words, he continues preparing for MAFTY's mission — the attack on the Adelaide Conference.

Meanwhile, Kenneth Sleg of the Federation Forces prepares a defense operation for the Adelaide Conference and a plan to eliminate MAFTY, when he is approached by Handley Yoxon of the Criminal Police Organization with a secret proposal.

As Hathaway and Kenneth pursue their respective goals, Gigi also sets off for Hong Kong to fulfill her own role.
