Title announced for Godzilla x Kong sequel
Kaitlyn Dever, Dan Stevens, Jack O'Connell, Matthew Modine, Delroy Lindo, Alycia Debnam-Carey and Sam Neill are set to star in the film, which will be released on March 26, 2027.
'I Am Mother' director Grant Sputore is to helm the movie, which has been penned by 'Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings' writer David Callaham and Michael Lloyd Green.
Although specific plot details for sequel have not been revealed, Deadline previously reported the film will introduce several new human characters who will join the titular Titans as they face off against a new world-ending threat.
Starring Rebecca Hall, Dan Stevens and Brian Tyree Henry 'Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire' followed the legendary Titans, Godzilla and Kong, as they joined forces to face a powerful new threat rising from within Hollow Earth - one that poses a danger to both their kind and the future of humanity.
It was previously announced that 'Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire' director Adam Wingard would not be helming the next movie due to scheduling conflicts.
The Hollywood Reporter said at the time that the filmmaker's departure was amicable, and the door had not been closed on Wingard returning to direct another film in the Monsterverse in the future.
Despite his exit, Wingard previously teased he had 'more story to tell' in the Monsterverse.
He told Discussing Film ahead of 'Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire's cinematic debut in March 2024: 'The whole idea that if you've done two movies, like, maybe you should just go ahead and do a third because, as you said, there's a trilogy in there.
'It just depends on how ['Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire'] does and how things kind of shape out.
'I do have more story to tell with these monsters, and I know where I'd go with it. I would be very excited to be able to come back on for another one if things worked out!'
Legendary's Monsterverse launched in 2014 with 'Godzilla', followed by the introduction of King Kong in 2017's 'Kong: Skull Island'.
The franchise continued with 'Godzilla: King of the Monsters' in 2019, leading to the epic showdown between the two Titans in 2021's 'Godzilla vs. Kong'.
The Monsterverse has since expanded to television, with the animated spin-off series 'Skull Island' on Netflix and the Apple TV+ series 'Monarch: Legacy of Monsters'.

Sebastian Stan to star in new Frankenstein movie
Sebastian Stan is set to star in a new Frankenstein movie from Dracula director Radu Jude. The moviemaker premiered his new take on Bram Stoker's Dracula at the Locarno Film Festival in Switzerland on Sunday (10.08.25) and he's now revealed he's working on a revamped version of Mary Shelley's classic novel Frankenstein which will be set in Romania. He told The Hollywood Reporter: "I'm writing a film now. It's a Frankenstein film in Romania. Frankenstein in Romania, it's going to be called." Jude told the publication he pitched the idea to Stan - who was born in Romania - and he liked the idea and his plan is to have the actor play both roles of scientist Victor Frankenstein and his monster. It will follow another new version of the story - Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein - which stars Oscar Isaac as the creator and Jacob Elordi as the monster and is set to be released at the end of August. Elordi recently admitted he binge-watched all of the previous Frankenstein to help him get his version of the monster right. He told Vanity Fair magazine: "I devoured all of his monsters. At first I thought, I'll stay away from this. I want to do my own thing. And then I asked Guillermo: 'Should I watch the other Frankensteins?' And he goes: 'What the f*** do you mean?' I was like: 'Well, I don't want it to be influenced.' "He says: 'My friend, it's a movie, it can't f****** hurt you.' I went home and I just binged them." Andrew Garfield had previously been hired to play the role but he was forced to exit the project because of delays from the 2023 Hollywood strikes - and Del Toro is thankful to Elordi for stepping in at such short notice. He added to the publication: "Andrew Garfield stepping out and Jacob coming in. I mean, it was like Jacob is the most perfect actor for the creature. "And we have a supernaturally good connection. It's like, very few words. Very few things I have to say, and he does it ... "We recast, and we had nine weeks. You can't be under more pressure than that."
