The movie is presumed to give closure to the unresolved events of Gundam 00. A hint of what's to come is the Jupiter incident 80 yrs ago, around A.D. 2227. The Season 2 finale implies that the origins of GN Drives will be revealed and another faction of conflict will arise. A teaser trailer has been released, officially releasing the names of the new Gundams and hinting on things to expect in the movie with its creators, such as four new Gundams, the GN-XIV, a fully transformable Flag GN Flag II, and the possible return of Gundam Dynames.

In a recent publication within the Perfect Grade 00 Raiser model, the full names of the four new Gundams and the GN-XIV were revealed. The publication 00V Senki (War Chronicles) also has stated in a recent story that Celestial Being has lost 2 GN Drives (0 Gundam's and Seraphim's) after the events of Season 2, suggesting that part of the overall plot of the movie will be CB attempting to reconstruct or building brand new GN Drives at Jupiter.

He also revealed that the time frame of the movie will be set 2 years after season 2, AD 2314. Graham Aker will also seem to play a pivotal role in the plot.

New publications also show that the new enemy is another rogue Innovade causing havoc, whose name is revealed to be Descartes Shaman. Louise, Saji, and Feldt are confirmed their appearance in the movie.

A second movie trailer was released in February, showing off the final designs of Harute, 00 Qan[T], Raphael, and Zabanya, as well as Graham's GN Flag II, the GN-XIV and an unknown Innovator mobile armor piloted by the new enemy. Other screenshots included the confirmed appearances of Sumeragi, Feldt, Graham, Kati, Ian, Mileina, Soma/Marie, Shirin, Marina and an Innovator that resembles Nena Trinity.

Setsuna will have a Flag at some point;based on the word seen of some of the concept papers during the original teaser. Although it should be noted that Flag seen in the sketches aren't it, only the words is seen, but the actual art is not. Whether this will be in the final movie is not known at this point. They went to Jupiter to undergo some sort of project, but the exact nature and result of it is unknown; it's suspected they will re-engine new GN Drives. Gundam Dynames is speculated for its return upon the teaser trailer, as a Condenser type
