Henry Cavill is set to star in the live-action feature “Voltron” film for Amazon MGM Studios, directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber, who co-wrote the script with Ellen Shanman.

Cavill will join previously announced star Daniel Quinn-Toye, a film newcomer who has appeared on television in “Badults” and served as Tom Holland’s understudy in “Romeo & Juliet” on the West End this spring.

Voltron is based on the Japanese sci-fi series Beast King GoLion and Kikou Kantai Dairugger XV, which became the syndicated show Voltron: Defender of the Universe, which ran in the mid-1980s. The premise centered on five young pilots in a battalion named the Robot Lions, which are vehicles that join together to form a mega-robot known as Voltron.  It also spawned several American series including Netflix’s eight-season “Voltron: Legendary Defender.”

Cavill most recently made a cameo appearance in the summer blockbuster “Deadpool and Wolverine,” and also recently appeared in Matthew Vaughan’s spy comedy “Argylle” as well as Guy Ritchie’s “The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare.”*
