Bandai really pulled a power move on the upcoming Gundam Seed Movie, upon the trailer release tons of merchandise got revealed all at once. Among Gunplas and other figures, Metal Robot Spirits is the most surprising one considering these sort of stuffs take longer time to develop, but the MRS rendition for new version of Freedom and Justice Gundam soon revealed shortly after the trailer. Both Freedom and Justice Gundam will be sold for 18000 Yen with February 2024 release schedule.
From a first glance, Rising Freedom and Immortal Justice design trades of Firepower of their previous version in exchange for Mobility thus doesn't look like definitive successor of their Seed Destiny counterpart but I think there are still possibly more secrets will be revealed in time. This new design really appear to be heavily influenced by previous Sunrise series like Cross Ange and Buddy Complex considering SEED Director Fukuda helmed the former one. As Athrun fanboy to this day, to be honest Immortal Justice current armaments doesn't look like sufficient enough to be Rising Freedom equal and I hope this 3rd Incarnation of Justice Gundam got something worth hyping. Considering the backpack resemblance with Amatsu and Astray Blue Frame L, perhaps Immortal Justice would get some Giant Sword of sorts or maybe going 00 Gundam route, Considering SEED fans expectations are quite high enough after almost 2 decades of Vacuum and Bandai should be competent enough to capitalize this demand.
As for the Gundam SEED Movie which will be dubbed Gundam SEED Freedom, I would expect the storyline could only continue either using F91 or Endless Waltz route which seem to be the most plausible choice given the present state of Gundam SEED Plotline as OMNI appears to be still the antagonist this time and need another major backer like Jupiter Empire of sorts. Personally I don't really have much hope on the storyline but as long as the action scene are good enough, most SEED fans like myself will be content. Lastly I think Shinn Asuka will get his own gundam later in the movie considering being stuck in Gyan for the whole movie duration is just a petty move by Fukuda.
