Posted on by

As the second chapter of the Hathaway’s Flash trilogy, aka MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM HATHAWAY The Sorcery of Nymph Circe,approaches its North American debut on May 15, 2026, fans of the English localized version have plenty to celebrate. NYAV Post is once again at the helm of the production, ensuring that the high-stakes political intrigue and intense mobile suit combat of the Universal Century maintain their prestige-drama quality.

The Return of the Original Voice Cast

The core trio that defined the first film’s success is officially returning to reprise their roles for the sequel:

  • Hathaway Noa (Jesse McCartney): McCartney returns as the weary but determined leader of the Mafty resistance. In The Sorcery of Nymph Circe, his performance is expected to shift into a darker gear as Hathaway deals with the psychological toll of his mounting casualties.

  • Gigi Andalucia (Jeannie Tirado): Tirado reprises her role as the enigmatic Gigi, whose “goddess of victory” persona becomes even more pivotal as she finds herself caught between the Federation and the insurgents.

  • Kenneth Sleg (Aaron Phillips): Phillips returns as the charismatic Colonel Kenneth Sleg. His performance remains a highlight of the dub, providing a sophisticated, tactical foil to Hathaway’s revolutionary fervor.

Joining the veterans is Nicholas Roye as Lane Aim, the young and arrogant ace pilot of the Penelope. Roye’s performance is set to be the vocal centerpiece of the film’s massive aerial battles, representing the Federation’s brute-force response to the Xi Gundam.

The Plot: A Trap in the Ogasawara Islands

Picking up shortly after the events in Davao, the film follows Hathaway Noa as he attempts to regroup the Mafty organization. However, the Earth Federation has mobilized the elite “Circe Unit,” lead by Kenneth Sleg and featuring the formidable Penelope mobile suit.

The story centers on a high-stakes game of cat-and-mouse set against the backdrop of the Ogasawara Islands. As Mafty attempts to strike a blow against the Federation’s “Man Hunter” units, Hathaway finds himself lured into a sophisticated trap. The “Sorcery” of the title refers to the tactical brilliance and technological superiority of the Circe Unit, which threatens to neutralize the Xi Gundam’s atmospheric advantages.

The film explores the deepening rift within the Federation and the moral gray areas of Hathaway’s insurgency, culminating in a spectacular night-time aerial assault that promises to be a landmark in Gundam animation history.

Tickets for the May 15 premiere are expected to go on sale in mid-April.
