We’ve seen both Godzilla and King Kong making their respective splashes in Hollywood in recent years, with multiple major motion pictures hitting the big screen. In 2020, the two will come together in an epic battle for Adam Wingard’s crossover movie, Godzilla Vs Kong. With pre-production now chugging along at a nice pace, the film’s cast continues to add names, with several talented players joining its ensemble. This will now includeAlexander Skarsgård, who’s just been confirmed to have gained a role in the upcoming MonsterVerse movie.
Skarsgård will be in great company.Also set to appear in the film is Atlanta’s Brian Tyree Henry, who will also star in MGM’s upcomingChild’s Playremake. Julian Dennison ofHunt for the WilderpeopleandDeadpool 2will be starring as well, along withThe Nunstar Demián Bichir.The Walking Dead’s Danai Gurira is in talks to appear in the film as well, and Millie Bobby Brown is also rumored to be reprising her role from next year’s MonsterVerse film. More names are also expected to be added to the cast in the coming weeks.
The films in the MonsterVersebegan in 2014 with the simply-titled movieGodzilla, which was directed by Gareth Edwards and stars Bryan Cranston. In 2017,Kong: Skull Islandwould expand the MonsterVerse, although it was set in the past whileGodzillatakes place in the present. In 2019, the giant lizard will return inGodzilla: King of the Monsters, setting the stage for the following year’s battle with King Kong in Wingard’sGodzilla vs. Kong. With each of the legendary movie monsters getting their time to shine in theaters in the years leading up to the fight, chances are the film is going to be a huge draw at the box office.
This will be just one of many places fans can expect to see Skarsgård on the screen. After winning a Golden Globe for his role in the HBO seriesBig Little Lies, Skarsgård is rumored to somehow return in the show’s upcoming second season. The actor will also star in AMC’s ’70s-set TV seriesThe Little Drummer Girl, which will begin airing on AMC on Nov. 19. Skarsgård is also attached to no less than three feature films set to release in 2019, and is likely to appear in other places as well. Since his breakout role on the HBO seriesTrue Blood, Skarsgård now seems to be busier than he’s ever been with his continued success in Hollywood.
