According to Cata Tibayan's report on "24 Oras," Radson Flores, Matt Lozano, and Raphael Landicho will bring to life the three iconic characters in the live action adaption of the Japanese anime series.

Radson, an alumnus of the network's reality talent competition "StarStruck," will play Mark Gordon, the pilot of the Volt Bomber, which transforms into the Voltes V's arm.

Meanwhile, Matt, the grand winner of Eat Bulaga's Spogify feat. Singing Baes segment, will play Big Bert. He pilots the Volt Panzer, which transforms into Voltes V's body.

"Si Big Bert sobrang masayahing tao pero at the back of his mind nandoon ang lungkot dahil alam naman ng Voltes V fans na ang Armstrong brothers ay malungkot dahil sa pagkawala ng daddy nila," Matt said.

"Pareho kami na kahit na nalulungkot gumagawa ng way para mapasaya hindi lang ako kung 'di nakapaligid sa akin."

"Ngayon po hindi po ako makapaniwala nakuha po ako na isa po ako sa mga cast ng Voltes V. Excited na po ako makita 'yung Camp Big Falcon at ships na malalaki gustong-gusto ko po makita," Raphael said.
