Yesterday, the Gundam 00 Festival 10 Re:vision event in Tokyo announced that Mobile Suit Gundam 00 will be receiving a live-action stage play adaptation; this play will make its debut next year in February 2019. Now, the stage play is first of the event’s announcements, as shortly afterwards director, Seiji Mizushima, stated he is working on an anime sequel. Yet, the event did not specify the medium for this Gundam 00 anime sequel.
Then today, more information followed on the Gundam 00 sequel in the form of a stage reading; it is set after the event of Mobile Suit Gundam 00 the Movie: A Wakening of the Trailblazer. It will feature the return a character thought to be dead, a new character, and new mecha designs. However, these characters and mechas were not specified by the staff and cast, as to what their relation is to the upcoming sequel project.

Letita pilots the Gundam Dynames Repair III, the third repaired version of the Dynames; formerly piloted by Lockon Stratos (Neil Dylandy). (Tieria Erde’s voice actor Hiroshi Kamiya played Letitia.)
