Mecha fans have a new date circled on their calendars. Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway: The Sorcery of Nymph Circe, widely regarded as one of the best Gundam films in recent memory, is heading to Netflix globally on August 31, 2026 — bringing the story of Hathaway Noa’s rebellion to a much wider audience.

The film is the sequel to 2021’s Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway, with both entries directed by Shukou Murase and adapted from Yoshiyuki Tomino’s novel trilogy Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway’s Flash. It first hit Japanese theaters on January 30, 2026, and has since earned $18.4 million at the box office.

The Story So Far
The film follows Hathaway Noa, who secretly leads the anti-Earth Federation group Mafty, as he plans a high-stakes assassination attempt at the Adelaide Conference. His mission is complicated by unresolved trauma and his conflicted feelings for the mysterious Gigi Andalucia, while Earth Federation Colonel Kenneth Sleg mobilizes an elite defense unit to stop Mafty for good.
The film continues the legacy of the Mobile Suit Gundam franchise, one of the most influential and long-running mecha anime properties in Japan, known for blending large-scale space warfare with deeply personal character drama — a combination this latest entry leans into fully.
