Plot details for the new film have been kept tightly under wraps, though Thurber previously assured fans of the original series that they won’t be disappointed.

In a video message that was shared during VoltCon last October, Thurber said: “I want to make sure that we stay true to the heart and the spirit of Voltron.

“In this film, we’re going to be introducing an entirely new generation of pilots.

“We’ve reimagined Voltron for the live-action world, but we’re going to stay true to those iconic elements that you love, that I love.”
