The film was directed by Michael Dougherty (Krampus), and stars Oscar nominees Vera Farmiga, Ken Watanabe, Kyle Chandler, Millie Bobby Brown, Bradley Whitford, Thomas Middleditch , Charles Dance, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Aisha Hinds, and Zhang Ziyi.
The new story follows the heroic efforts of the crypto-zoological agency Monarch as its members face off against a battery of god-sized monsters, including the mighty Godzilla, who collides with Mothra, Rodan, and his ultimate nemesis, 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.
Dougherty directed from a script he wrote with Zach Shields. The film was produced by Mary Parent, Alex Garcia, Brian Rogers, Thomas Tull and Jon Jashni, with Zach Shields, Barry H. Waldman, Dan Lin, Roy Lee, Yoshimitsu Banno and Kenji Okuhira serving as executive producers, and Alexandra Mendes and Jay Ashenfelter co-producing for Legendary.
The film has reportedly been in the can for a while now, and rolls out into cinemas as we all head into the summer blockbuster season.
Godzilla: King of the Monsters opens in cinemas on 29th May 2019. Here’s that new trailer.
