Live-Action Voltron Reboot Reportedly Greenlit at Amazon MGM Studios

As a gamer who grew up with the legendary Voltron, hearing about the live-action reboot feels like I’ve just found my long-lost childhood pal at a gaming convention after decades apart! The original series was a staple in my youth, and while I’ve seen various reboots and sequels over the years, nothing quite compares to the thrill of seeing the iconic lion robots come to life on the big screen.


As a longtime enthusiast, I can’t contain my excitement as it seems that the long-awaited live-action reboot of the iconic series, Voltron, has been officially given the green light! This legendary show initially burst onto our screens in the 1980s, and it was a masterful adaptation of the Beast King GoLion anime for American viewers. The franchise has enjoyed an impressive run with over 100 episodes, and since then, it has spawned numerous reboots, sequels, and reinventions throughout the years.

2022 saw initial reports that a live-action Voltron film was being developed by Rawson Marshall Thurber (known for “Red Notice” and “Central Intelligence”). At the time, it was mentioned that various studios were considering the project, with Amazon MGM Studios potentially involved. Now, according to The Insider’s latest update, Amazon MGM Studios has given the go-ahead for the live-action Voltron, and casting is expected to start soon. If this news holds true, it appears that the production process will progress swiftly.

What to Know for Live-Action Voltron

As a child of the ’80s, I vividly remember the excitement that surrounded the original Voltron animated series. The show was a staple of my childhood and played a significant role in fueling my imagination and love for science fiction. So, hearing about the live-action adaptation fills me with a mix of nostalgia and anticipation.

If you’re seeking a fresh, contemporary spin on the franchise, the most recent reboot to consider is “Voltron: Legendary Defender.” Debuting on Netflix in 2016, this animated series by Studio MIR (responsible for projects like “My Adventures with Superman,” “X-Men ’97,” “The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf,” and others) spanned eight seasons. During its prime, it was highly praised by fans and offered a narrative that was distinct from the original series’ storyline.

For years, a real-life adaptation of the beloved animated series “Voltron” has been a highly anticipated prospect in Hollywood. Now, it seems that this project is edging ever closer to becoming reality.
