That's a top tier cast.

I wonder what the ??? is for. The only way it would be a surprise is if he's voiced by someone from SEED/SEED Destiny and is a clone.

Are they seriously gonna cram all of them into one movie?

Interesting to note is that we still haven't received news on any new MS designs.

I'm happy this movie is getting made. But I kinda worry it'll be like F91 all over again.

This and a thousand times this. Who the heck are all of these people and how am I going to get to know and care about them in a movie? The only consolation for me is I hope Shinn gets maybe a 1 minute scene and we move on. We'll have to in order to get to everyone.

I think the character with ?? might be voiced by Takanori Nishikawa (who not only did SEED and SEED Destiny intros and insert songs), but also voiced some minor characters like Miguel Aiman and Heine Westenfluss. I bet he will come back to sing the SEED Freedom theme song as well.

At least F91 was only meant to be the possible start of something that never got off the ground. This is supposed to be the grand finale, worked on since 2006. And introducing a dozen new characters into the mix just makes it all the more likely that characters like Shinn will get basically nothing.

Like Fukuda's comments about how the movie might not make a whole lot of sense on first watch are bad enough, we don't need more signs that the movie is overstuffed because he couldn't adequately condense Morosawa's mountain of notes.

Looks like we have a Mineva/Mariemaia situation going on. I can imagine most of these new faces being glorified cannon fodder.

Promo image at the end of the PV caught my attention. They still pushing that Cagalli/Athrun/Meyrin crap? Just let Athrun and Cagalli stay together already.

F91 was a series turned movie, so hopefully this movie which was originally designed to be a movie won't be so rushed.

Like any other story most of them are just background characters for the leads to talk to.

It’s cool to see the alternate reality Black Tri Stars, but why are they confirmed but Andrew Waltfeld isn’t? I really hope he’s in the movie!
