EXCLUSIVE: Marking the first major role to be cast in the upcoming sequel, Dan Stevens is set to star as the lead of the next feature film installment of the Legendary’s Monsterverse franchise, a follow up to 2020’s Godzilla vs. Kong. Adam Wingard, who directed the first film, is returning to direct the film with production is slated to begin this summer in Australia.

 

Per usual plot details are being kept under wraps other then the film following the film’s larger-then-life monsters and then prepare for their next battle against each other. The most recent film helped get audiences back in theaters as it became the first film to cross the $100 million marker at the domestic box-office while also grossing $468 million globally. The number is impressive as it also bowed day-and-date on HBO Max.

I must have completely missed this thread when it was originally posted; Had no idea they were doing GvK 2. What's the point, exactly? We all know that Godzilla stomps.

Is Legendary part of WBD? If yes, they need to make the threat a giant snake so they may be able to cut production costs by splicing in scenes from Anaconda..........

After the two Titans clashed in 2021's Godzilla vs. Kong, the studio says that the two giant monsters will fight "a colossal undiscovered threat hidden within our world, challenging their very existence – and our own."

 

The movie will also explore how the mysterious Titans came to be by diving into their ancient histories and uncovering the legendary battle that created them and forever linked them to humans.

 

Adam Wingard will return to direct the MonsterVerse film, as well as cast members Rebecca Hall, Brian Tyree Henry, and Kaylee Hottle. They will be joined by newcomers Dan Stevens, Fala Chen, Alex Ferns, and Rachel House. Screenwriters Terry Rossio, Jeremy Slater and Simon Barrett are also part of the project. It is being shot on location in Queensland, Australia.

Godzilla vs Kong Sequel Title Announced

Quote

It is happening! Godzilla vs Kong made its way into theaters a few years ago, and the blockbuster helped reignite theaters during the doldrums of COVID-19. It did not take long for the MonsterVerse to order a sequel, and now, we have learned some big information about the project. The franchise has released the title for the sequel, so you can brace yourself for Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire.

 

As fans know, director Adam Wingard is returning to oversee the project following their work on Godzilla vs Kong. A slew of returning cast members will star in Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire including Rebecca Hall, Brian Tyree Henry, and Kaylee Hottle. New stars such as Dan Stevens, Fala Chen, and Rachel House are also set to appear in this feature.

 

"In 2021, the interconnected entertainment universe known as the Monsterverse delivered Godzilla vs. Kong, a true cultural event and the ultimate pop culture throw down as two cinematic Titans faced off in a spectacular big-screen battle that smashed the global box office," Warner Bros Pictures wrote about this new MonsterVerse flick in a statement earlier today. "Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire is the thrilling fifth film in the Monsterverse series and sees the legendary Titans Godzilla and Kong team up to face a world-ending threat so terrifying that neither could survive alone."

Oh, they're adding the lame "crossover" 'x' that every loser uses when they're diving into the deep end for product titles?

Thanks, I hate it.

I like that Legendary Entertainment has reasonable expectations on how these movies will do at theaters and therefore continue to make them and budget accordingly. I wish Universal Studios had the same expectations with their monsterverse. I was looking forward to the Universal Monsters returning to the screen and eventually the crossovers. Oh, well.
