Just as Marvel's Phase 4 is introducing a new generation of heroes taking up classic mantles, Hathaway has many ties to earlier entries in the series. There have been series and movies set after this point in time, such as Victory Gundam and the Gundam F91 movie, but given the poor reception of these projects, they may be remade or retconned in the future.

Hathaway is set in the year UC 105, positioning it 26 years after the original Gundam, 18 years after Zeta, and eight years after the previous UC entry, the Gundam Narrative movie. Hathaway is one of those stories set in the Universal Century timeline, which began in the original Mobile Suit Gundam series and continued through Zeta Gundam, Gundam ZZ, and fan-favorite movies and OVAs like Char's Counterattack, Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket, and The 08th MS Team. RELATED: Netflix: Every Movie And TV Show Releasing In July 2021 Like the current DC superhero movies, Gundam combines standalone works with those set in a broader continuity. These shows are meant to be accessible to new and casual fans, and not burdened with decades of continuity. Many of the most popular series are set in standalone alternate universes, such as Gundam Wing, SEED, and Iron-Blooded Orphans. Having been around for over 40 years, the Gundam franchise has a somewhat tangled continuity. This means that Hathaway is meant as both a treat for old-school Gundam fans and a jumping-on point for new ones. The movie is set in the Universal Century continuity as part of an effort to return to the universe and timeline of the classic series. Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway, the newest movie in the Gundamfranchise, is both a sequel to the original TV series and the beginning of a new series of films.
