Godzilla: King of Monsters, from Trick ‘r Treat director Michael Daugherty, is set to arrive in theater in 2020. Co-written by Daugherty and Zach Shields, the film is the next installment of Legendary’s MonsterVerse and will set the stage for Godzilla’s battle with King Kong.
King of Monsters will follow the heroic efforts of the Monarch agency, a crypto-zoological agency that handles gigantic monsters, including Godzilla who will face Rodan, Mothra, and the three-headed King Ghidorah. “When these ancient super-species—thought to be mere myths—rise again, they all vie for supremacy, leaving humanity’s very existence hanging in the balance.”
Filming recently wrapped for the film which made it possible for actor O’Shea Jackson Jr. to tease the upcoming fight during a conversation with Collider.
In the last scene between Godzilla and King Ghidorah, I promise you, you will never forget it, in your life,” the actor promised. “As a nerd, I am foaming at the mouth to get in the editing room… Godzilla will be the number 1 movie.”O’Shae added, “The way that [Godzilla] and Ghidorah fight… man… Kong better bring some shit.”
Zhang Ziyi, Vera Farmiga, Kyle Chandler, Millie Bobby Brown, Bradley Whitford, Ken Watanabe, Thomas Middleditch, Aisha Hinds, and Charles Dance star.
Godzilla: King of Monsters will arrive in theaters on March 22, 2019, from Warner Bros. and will be followed by Godzilla vs. Kong in theaters May 22, 2020.
