Jeff Goldblum is coming back, as is most the cast from the original. I suspect this will be my favorite movie of the year. Although cheesy, the first one is still pretty good. Also the guy who plays as Data in the first ID4 is coming back... Maybe hes a Nercroborg...?
As awesome as ID42 is going to be, one thing makes me sad. This is the best live action Robotech movie we will ever get.
These might help explain why that is.

Long story short if you don't want to read those.
Exosquad: We got cool mechs and we signed a Partnership with Robotech to have their stuff. Yah!
Battletech:Hay you stole our mechs we will sue you
Robotech: Who the hell are you, you stole our mechs, and part of our name, we will sue you.
Macross: Holdthem there horses me lads, you all can use all them their mechs because we created them.
Robotech: *** You, we bought the rights to your mecha, noone else has the right to use them in the Americas and Europe!
Macross: Are you crazy, did a Panda call you a hoe?
Robotech: Thats it *** YOU, you can no longer sell Macross stuff to the Western World. Your turkey is basted!
Macross: Ok... You didnt exactly have full rights to Macross Material, you didnt agree to anything for use in live action movies. We don't give you permission to do so.
Robotech: Noooose!
Macross:Your Robotech 2 Destroids were made by us and were meant to look like the Macross 1 versions. We weren't in agreement to how they should be used. We wont allow you to use them, or make toys out of them. But you can shove the designs up your ****
Robotech: Noooose!
Macross: You can't have anything resembling giant Aliens, the name Zentradei, or Transforming F-14 tomcats in your movies, we invented those.
Robotech: Noooose!
Northrop Grumman: Macross you did what?!
Robotech: Well fine then! GI Joe can't have your Mecha ether, don't think you could escape our wraith with your Geo Green eco warrior CAMO! Its freaking NEO GREEN!
