＜Kenjiro Tsuda comments
I am very honored to participate in "Mobile Suit Gundam: Senko no Hathaway". I was very tense during the recording. It was a lot of fun to mix the images and requests of the director and recording direction with my own image to create the characters and scenes, and to perform them. I am looking forward to seeing the final product. To those of you who are waiting for the release of the film, please look forward to it for a while longer. Thank you very much for your cooperation in making "Mobile Suit Gundam: Senko no Hathaway" a success.

Emeralda Zubin
A sisterly mufti member sent to Davao to pick up Hathaway. She has a history of not being able to become a regular MS pilot due to technical difficulties.

<Comment from Yui Ishikawa
I happened to read the news about "Senko no Hathaway" and at that time I didn't think that I would be able to be a part of it, so I was very surprised when I was chosen to be a part of it. At the same time, I was very happy to be able to participate in this work that has been loved by many people for a long time. The character I played, Emeralda, is a girl with a rough and bold personality. I have never played this type of girl before, so I did my best to play her, hoping that I could explore a new side of myself. I hope you will look forward to seeing her in theaters. Thank you very much!

Raymond Kane
1 Captain of Gal Saison. A mufti member. He is a large, well-built man, but he also shows a side of friendliness.

＜Comment from Fukutsugu Ochiai
I am very, very happy to be involved in "Mobile Suit Gundam: Senko no Hathaway" as Raymond. As a member of the Mufti, I will be watching over Hathaway and the end of this story. I am looking forward to going to the cinema now!

■ Ilam Masamu
A mufti member who is the XO and chief of staff of the mufti's support ship Valiant. He is a good friend of Hathaway's and knows her situation.

＜Shunsuke Takeuchi commented: "This is the film that many fans have been waiting for.
I feel very honored to be able to participate as a voice actor in this work that many fans have been waiting for. My friends who love Gundam have been telling me about the charm of this work for a long time, so I deliberated with the staff members as we worked to faithfully incorporate the image of the original work into the anime. I hope that the content will not disappoint your expectations.

Mihesha Hens
Mufti agent and operator. She is a serious and studious girl who is devoted to the Mufti's activities. She comes into contact with Hathaway in Davao.

<Misato Matsuoka's comment
My name is Misato Matsuoka, and I play the role of Mihesha Hence! I never dreamed that I would be cast in Gundam, which I have watched on TV with my family since I was a little girl, so when I first heard about it, I remember my hands trembled with happiness and a feeling of being overwhelmed. However, I was determined not to just shake and tremble, so I thought about how I would approach the job if I were Mihesha, and I worked as hard as I could to perform the role with as much enthusiasm as possible! I am now looking forward to seeing those powerful scenes on the huge screen. I am a little nervous, but I hope I can share that excitement and lingering feeling with you all after watching it. Please come and see the show!

Kenji Mitsuda
A local intelligence officer who has little awareness of the Mufti's activities but is an excellent driver. He contacts Hathaway in Davao.

＜Comment from Chiharu Sawashiro
I have never been so honored to be cast as a voice actor in a work called Gundam. I was very happy! After I received the offer, I looked at and researched the past Gundam works again, and I realized that it is a work that is truly deep and has been loved by everyone for a long time, and I decided to take on the responsibility of playing the role. It is a very worthwhile work, and I hope you will enjoy watching it a second and third time. As a viewer myself, I am very much looking forward to the release of the film. I hope you will all enjoy it!

Mace Hlawer
A flight attendant on Hahnsen Flight 356 with beautiful blond hair and a mole around her mouth. When Kenneth makes a pass at her, she responds in a mature manner.

＜Atsumi Tanesaki comments
Even if you are not familiar with anime or do not know anything about it, you know that "Gundam" exists...I think that is what this work is about. When I heard that I was going to be in the show, I didn't really understand for a moment (laughs). Gundam...? A theater version...? Oh, I'm going to be in it? I was nervous on the day of recording. I was very nervous on the day of recording, but I remember how happy I was to be directed in such detail. I felt that this was a work that had been carefully created over many years. I can't take my eyes off it for a moment from the beginning to the end. I hope you will look forward to seeing it until it is released to the public.

■HANDRY YOKSAN
The director of the Criminal Police Organization, with Manhunter in his service. He boarded Hahnsen Flight 356 and came down to Earth to participate in the Adelaide Conference.

＜Koichi Yamadera comments
It was three years after my debut as a voice actor that I was cast in "Char of the Counterattack" as Gywnay Gus. On the first day of recording, I was nervous and had no understanding of the world, but Shuichi Ikeda, who played Char, took me out for a drink. We talked about Gundam and the world of voice actors, and I remember being so nervous that I couldn't get drunk no matter how much I drank. Thirty-three years have passed since then. I am happy to be able to appear in "Senko no Hathaway," which depicts what happened after that. I am the director of the Criminal Police Organization, a role that is 180 degrees different from Gyunay's, but please look forward to seeing how I will interact with Hathaway and Kenneth in the story.

New scene photos and a Shochiku Multiplex Theaters exclusive video have also been released!

<Story
-Do you know what Negen is?
If you know it, I'll take you there...
Twelve years have passed since the end of the Second Neo Zeon War (Char's Rebellion) in U.C. 0105-. Even after the "Axis Shock," which seemed to indicate the future of humanity and the cosmic century, the world is still in a state of confusion, and military conflicts are still occurring intermittently.
The Earth Federation government had become even more corrupt, with the upper echelons not only accelerating the pollution of the Earth, but also carrying out an inhumane policy of "manhunting" by forcibly taking civilians into space.
The anti-Earth Federation government organization "Mufti" led by a man called "Mufti Nabiyu Erin" stood up against such corruption in the Earth sphere.
Although they were involved in harsh terrorist acts, assassinating high-ranking officials of the Earth Federation government one after another, they had gained a certain amount of support from the people who were increasingly opposed to the Federation government.
The person who called himself the "Mufti" and commanded him was Hathaway Noah, the son of Bright Noah, an Earth Federation officer who had participated in the One Year War, and who had also taken part in stopping Char's rebellion.
He knew firsthand the ideals and ideals of Amuro Ray and Char Aznable, and as a warrior who bore the spirit of both men, he planned to carve out a path of resistance through military force.
However, an encounter with Kenneth Slegg, a colonel in the Federation Forces, and Gigi Andalusia, a beautiful and mysterious girl, changes his destiny drastically.
