“I hope you, yeah you, you come around. Now don't you shut this down oh no don't you give this up.

I took all this love I found and I hope that it's enough, Is it enough?

Don't you shut this down, Don't you give this up.

Before you came around, I was lost and out of place.

You're the only love I found and I'm hoping that you'll stay.”

-from Only Love by Pvris

Well we now know who will be handling the special effects for this blockbuster.

“Myriad Studios has worked on 34 different films, including Godzilla x Kong, The Pope's exorcist, Eden, Nautilus, & Fall Guy.”

“Odd Studio has worked on 195 films and shows such as Star Wars, Evil Dead Rise, X-men, Extraction & more.”

These are big budget effects studios, and considering initial filming already took up $100 million, this is likely another $50-$100 million for the effects budget.

If you told me that Amazon MGM was going to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on a super robot movie after VLD, the toxic Klance fandom, Defenders of Tomorrow, the glass cookies, the extortion attempt, and every other vile thing that fandom had done, I would have laughed in your face. But you can���t keep a giant robot down. No matter how much Legendary Defender’s cast and crew wanted to.

If this set builder is to be believed, Voltron the movie has wrapped filming. The timing would also explain their non-appearance at CinemaCon; they were busy wrapping the final scenes.

If this is true, and the film has wrapped, we could be hearing first details about the movie during convention season (Roughly July - October, spearheaded by San Diego Comic Con and New York Comic Con). Look forward to writer and directors finally telling us what the hell this movie is about, how much giant robot punching is in it, and hopefully not having to deal with too many disgruntled Klancers mad Keith and Lance aren't in the movie.

I personally would not be surprised to see Rita Ora as Allura, with the OG characters playing cameos (if rumors about them focusing on a new team is true). She's very racially ambiguous so she seems a safe choice to appease both old and new fans.

Everyone involved with the Voltron movie seems to have been sworn to secrecy about the plot. We know it won't involve the old names because Legendary Defender made them radioactive (don't have to worry about Klancers if Keith and Lance aren't in the movie), but the actual plot is a massive mystery that neither Rita Ora nor Sterling K. Brown are comfortable revealing anything about.

Here's hoping we get some news at CinemaCon in April, where Amazon MGM Studios is supposed to have a panel, the first panel the studio has ever had since Amazon bought them. Failing that and said panel just being about the future of James Bond, the next chance at hearing anything will be San Diego Comic Con in July and New York Comic Con in October.

I love the idea of Allura wielding her father’s sword even though I know her Paladin weapon is the chain whip (which is pretty badass anyway).

The Voltron movie, as per Queensland, Australia's government, is going to be clocking in with an initial budget of over $100 million. It's being touted as a massive investment into Australia's film industry, and if the budget shows on the screen, the big budget giant robot spectacle will make people forget a certain Netflix show ever existed.

Well, after two decades of false starts, false rumors, and unmade scripts, we finally have a Voltron movie set to film next week

With a rather impressive cast to boot, a mix of newcomers, box office vets, and Sterling K. Brown, a legitimate award-winning actor. If nothing else, Henry Cavill has public sympathy from the one-two punch of the DCEU and The Witcher letting him go when he objected to the tonal changes to the books.

Amazon MGM and WEP, whether purposefully or not, are also seemingly doing the right things in regards to the Voltron brand. Voltron Legendary Defender, a black eye on the brand best known for its insane fanbase, is leaving Netflix forever December 7, giving two years for it to continue to fade from public memory before the movie comes out. They're using new character names to avoid those negative connotations (coughKlancecough). Most of the promotional material thus far is using classic logos and imagery. Even the people reporting the news seem to be doing the same.

So with the five younger actors playing the Voltron pilots (Do not use the word "Paladin." The movie sure as hell won't.), it looks like Henry will be the commander of the team, with maybe Brown the main villain? Plot details are being kept tight.

Numerous questions still remain though. What will the robot look like on the big screen? Is it going to be closer to the original and its very 80s boxy design? Is the plot going to explicitly reference the previous series with the "next generation" branding or will this be more of a loose remake of the original? How many jokes will be made at VLD's expense from a cast and crew that has absolutely no love loss for it? Or do they just pretend it never existed and we haven't had a major Voltron production since Voltron Force and the comics from Dynamite? What's the music going to sound like? And finally, will it have more Voltron than VLD did, as in almost none?

Erasing VLD from all media is a good first step, and hiring most of these actors is a good second, but it's going to take a good script, good effects, and good giant robot action to bring this together. Their biggest competitor, the Transformers, only got the last two until the unfortunately unsuccessful Transformers One.

The Voltron movie cast is fully coming together with the main cast being rounded out by Alba Baptista, Samson Kayo, and Tharanya Tharan. Less notable names than the Cavillrine and Sterling K. Brown.
