The follow-up to last year’s Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire will be directed by franchise newcomer Grant Sputore (I Am Mother), but at least one familiar face will be part of the cast. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Dan Stevens (The Guest, Cuckoo) is in talks to reprise his role as the Kaiju expert named Trapper from Adam Wingard’s Godzilla x Kong.
Dan Stevens perfectly summed up his Monsterverse character last year: “[My character is] a specialist in these creatures… If you’ve got a sick titan, Trap is your guy.”
Kaitlyn Dever (No One Will Save You) is also in negotiations to come face-to-face with Godzilla and Kong in the next installment in Legendary’s MonsterVerse franchise.
The follow-up to last year’s Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire — the highest grossing Godzilla film of all time — is said to feature several new human characters alongside the iconic Titans as they face off against a cataclysmic world-ending threat. Dave Callaham (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse) wrote the new movie.
Warner Bros. will release the new Monsterverse movie in theaters on March 26, 2027.
Speaking of Legendary’s epic Monsterverse, a second season of the Apple TV+ Original Series “Monarch: Legacy of Monsters” will also be stomping our way in the near future.
