Interest
Spot the Gundam Cameo in Steven Spielberg's Ready Player One Trailer
posted on by Lynzee Loveridge
The latest full-length trailer for Gundam. (What Tracer is doing in a giant nostalgia piece on the 1980s' pop culture is anyone's guess.)
There are of course, even more references lurking around the trailer. Kaneda's Speed Racer's Mach 5, Chuckie from Child's Play, and The Iron Giant.
Ernest Cline's original novel, dubbed "holy grail of pop culture" features a plethora of early Japanese video game and anime references, from Mazinger Z, and actual Gundam battle on the big screen.
However, fans hoping to see Ultraman will be disappointed. Cline revealed in a recent interview that the tokusatsu hero will not be appearing due to licensing reasons.
Ready Player One stars Simon Pegg, Mark Rylance, Ben Mendelsohn, and Olivia Cooke. The film opens in theaters on March 30, 2018.
