The imminent Godzilla vs. Kong sequel has cast Dan Stevens, well-known for his roles in Beauty and the Beast and Downtown Abby as its protagonist.
Godzilla vs. Kong was the biggest box office success for Warner Bros. last year. Warner Bros. decided to distribute all of their 2021 films on HBO Max as well as in cinemas in the midst of the Covid-19 epidemic. This HBO mega-hit surpassed other fan favorites including Zack Snyder‘s Justice League. Unlike its predecessor, Godzilla: King of Monsters, the picture received rave reviews by critics and raked in over $467 million worldwide. However, the franchise’s future is still in limbo.
Several MonsterVerse projects are currently under development. As well as a direct sequel to Godzilla vs. Kong, a whole AppleTV series is underway. Adam Wingard is now tapped to make his way back to the universe as the director. Speculation has it that the upcoming picture, filmed in Australia later this year, will be named Son of Kong, which indicates that it will be a King Kong-centric movie. Now the titular character has been determined.
Dan Stevens has been cast as the main character in the upcoming film. Stevens is well recognized for his roles in the live-action remake of Beauty and the Beast and the sitcom Downtown Abby. Adam Wingard and Dan Stevens have previously collaborated on the film The Guest. Unknown are the future film’s plot specifics.
