The latest intermission footage from the Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway film series has been released for the upcoming installment Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway: The Sorcery of Nymph Circe, scheduled to premiere on January 30, 2026. This new video revisits the intensity surrounding the 2021 release, featuring an interview with Kensho Ono, the voice of Hathaway, conducted during the first film’s debut, as well as scenes from the special live performance of the previous theme song “Flash” by [Alexandros].

In the interview, Kensho Ono reflects on the character’s turning point, saying that Hathaway has already “stepped onto a starting line from which he can no longer turn back.” Despite being the son of a hero of the Earth Federation Forces, Hathaway chooses the path of resistance as the leader of Mafty, driven by the belief that he must carry out “what someone has to do.” Meanwhile, the mysterious girl Gigi brings out a more human, vulnerable side of Hathaway, challenging his convictions and shaking the resolve behind his choices. The film raises the question of what destiny ultimately awaits him.

Hathaway’s Flash was produced as part of the “UC NexT 0100” project commemorating the 40th anniversary of Gundam in 2019, serving as the second cinematic work in the initiative. Deeply rooted in the world established by Mobile Suit Gundam: Char’s Counterattack (1988), the film series follows the anti–Earth Federation movement Mafty, weaving together the intersecting fates of its leader Hathaway Noa, the enigmatic Gigi Andalucia, and Federation Colonel Kenneth Sleg.

The first film, released in 2021, became a major hit with box office earnings surpassing 2.23 billion yen.

In Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway: The Sorcery of Nymph Circe, the series unfolds its most intense drama yet. Haunted by past trauma resurfaced by Gigi, Hathaway becomes increasingly torn between his personal turmoil and his obligations as Mafty, even as he moves forward with preparations for the planned attack on the Adelaide Conference.
