Adam Wingard possibly helming next Monsterverse film

'Godzilla vs. Kong' Director Adam Wingard In Talks for Legendary's Next MonsterVerse Film (Exclusive)

However, Wingard (CAA, Grandview, Morris Yorn) is said to have been very involved in creating Godzilla vs. Kong set pieces as well as in the worldbuilding of the movie’s Hollow Earth plotline, and he and Legendary have been cooking up plenty of ideas already. In fact, one possible title being floated internally? Son of Kong.

Wingard’s going to be busy for the next few years if he signs to direct. Thundercats, Face/Off 2, and now this!

Monster League! I think the draw of GvK was having Kong and Godzilla together, so if they want to repeat that success, let’s bring ‘em back together in a team up. Maybe throw in Rodan too, along with a new Mothra.

 

[Broseph44]

Hell yeah let the Monsterverse continue please Give me more.

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

This gives me hope for Godzilla vs Destoroyah

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Man this news makes me happy, give us Kong becoming King of the Hollow Earth!

I remember when Peter Jackson made a joke video that he was going to remake Son of Kong next.

All up for seeing a Kong ruling over Hollow Earth sequel.

All up for seeing a Kong ruling over Hollow Earth sequel.

Hell yeah that would be awesome and while a movie makes more sense I wouldn't complain if we got a series aswell, because they can really do alot with the Hollow Earth concept. I hope they consider it, because I want to see the Monsterverse continue in as many forms as possible.

 

[Arachnerd]

Well technically there's that Monsterverse Skull Island anime series yet to come, right? That sort of counts.

Though I'm wondering what they have planned for Godzilla, if anything at all.

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

I'm already wondering how visually different Son of Kong will look from his father.

So intriguing.

 

[Luigi]

Adam Wingard keeps winning. Bring on more Monsterverse goodness!

 

[Spider-Fan]

I am interested in Son of Kong. But... I am a Godzilla guy. I mostly want to know if the Toho monsters are going to be in more movies or if Legendary can expand the Monsterverse to include other properties like Gamera.

So for this, I am in. But it wouldn't be my most hyped prospect.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

They really could create some great new monsters for Hollow Earth. And then have Kong beat the crap out of them.

I remember when Peter Jackson made a joke video that he was going to remake Son of Kong next.

When I first saw this video I had no idea that it was released on April Fools Day so I thought it was real and thought the movie was scraped for years.

lmfo What in the world is that picture of Stevens?

 

[Doctor Jones]

Cool.

I don't know how you contrive to make Godzilla and Kong fight again, but I'm sure it'll be awesome.

lmfo What in the world is that picture of Stevens?

Awesome!!

 

[Gee]

Cool.

I don't know how you contrive to make Godzilla and Kong fight again, but I'm sure it'll be awesome.

And how you set up the team-up to fight the big bad again!

Happy Dan Stevens is in the franchise. Not happy he's in another GvK film. The first one was a dumpster fire. Let me know when they get back to making good Godzilla films. Id like a proper sequel to Kong Skull Island too.

 

[DarkKnight88]

Let me know when they get back to making good Godzilla films.

1954 was a long time ago lol

 

[Sithborg]

It would be nice to know what properties are involved. Touting Monsterverse Movie 5 as "Godzilla vs Kong sequel" seems a bit disingenous.

 

[Arachnerd]

I don't think it will be as direct a sequel as it seems to be. Most likely it will just be another installment in the Monsterverse that follows from GvK, doesn't necessarily mean they will have Kong and Godzilla fight again.
