This feels really 2017 Power Rangers to me, and we know how that turned out.

And probably also bidding for the toy license. No wonder Netflix is passing on this one.
A Voltron "Live action"......
Rated "R" would work ;^)
Pacific Rim didn't do too well for WB, So even if it's indeed great movie I doubt it will do more than break even.
"Live action." Yeah, that always turns out well.
