Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures today announced that filming has begun on the upcoming Godzilla vs Kong sequel. The film is being shot on location in Queensland, Australia.
The Godzilla vs Kong sequel pits the almighty Kong and the fearsome Godzilla against a colossal undiscovered threat hidden within our world, challenging their very existence – and our own.
Warner Bros. and Legendary say that the epic new film will delve further into the histories of these Titans, their origins, and the mysteries of Skull Island and beyond while uncovering the mythic battle that helped forge these extraordinary beings and tied them to humankind forever.
The film is again being helmed by director Adam Wingard (You’re Next, The Guest) and stars returning cast members Rebecca Hall (The Night House, Resurrection), Brian Tyree Henry (Bullet Train, Atlanta), and Kaylee Hottle (Godzilla vs Kong).
They are joined by franchise newcomers Dan Stevens (Gaslit, Legion, Beauty and the Beast), Fala Chen (Irma Vep, Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings), Alex Ferns (The Batman, Wrath of Man, Chernobyl), and Rachel House (Hunt for the Wilderpeople, Thor: Ragnarok, Foundation).
Wingard is directing the currently untitled project from a script by Terry Rossio (Godzilla vs Kong, the Pirates of the Caribbean series), Jeremy Slater (Moon Knight), and Simon Barrett (You’re Next).
The film is being produced by Mary Parent, Alex Garcia, Eric Mcleod, Brian Rogers, Thomas Tull, and Jon Jashni, with executive producers Josh Grode, Adam Wingard, Jay Ashenfelter, Jen Conroy, Kenji Okuhira and Yoshimitsu Banno.
Once again, Wingard is collaborating with director of photography Ben Seresin (Godzilla vs Kong, World War Z), production designer Tom Hammock (Godzilla vs Kong, X, The Guest), editor Josh Schaeffer (Godzilla vs Kong, Molly’s Game), and composer Tom Holkenborg (Godzilla vs Kong, Mad Max: Fury Road).
They are joined by costume designer Emily Seresin (The Invisible Man, Top of the Lake), makeup artist Sabrina Wilson (Captain Marvel, The Suicide Squad, The Book of Bobba Fett), hairstylist Gloria Pasqua Casny (The Tomorrow War, Ford vs Ferrari), and VFX supervisor Alessandro Ongaro (The Adam Project, Ghostbusters: Afterlife).
The Godzilla vs Kong sequel is slated for a March 15, 2024, worldwide release from Warner Bros. Pictures, except in Japan, where it will be distributed by Toho Co., Ltd, and in mainland China, where it will be distributed by Legendary East.
