Potential ‘Godzilla 2’ Director Revealed and I am in LOVE With the Choice!
Yesterday brought the very exciting news that Krampus co-writers Zach Shields and Michael Dougherty, who also directed the Christmas-themed horror film, were tapped to write the script for Legendary’s Godzilla 2. Today, that news becomes all the more exciting as it’s being reported by Screen Crush that Dougherty is also being eyed as the director of the giant monster movie! It will be the sequel to 2014’s Godzilla, which was directed by Gareth Edwards
As of yet, Dougherty hasn’t been locked down and no deal has been officially made but the prospect of him taking on this kind of movie is thrilling, to say the least! Both Trick ‘r Treat and Krampus prove that Dougherty has an eye for creating exciting sequences while his work on X-Men 2 and Superman Returns shows that he has the ability to envision larger-than-life scenarios. If this deal goes through, it’ll be, in my opinion, one of the best things to happen to this cinematic universe.
Godzilla 2 will follow the giant ape movie Kong: Skull Island, which comes out March 10th, 2017. The two will eventually face off in an as-yet-untitled movie that’s planned for a 2020 release.
Sony returns to their own Marvel universe with the upcoming Kraven the Hunter, which has been bumped all over the release schedule. This week, it’s been bumped once more.
There was a time when Sony was going to unleash Kraven in theaters in October 2023, but the film was then bumped to August 2024. It’ll now release on December 13, 2024.
Kraven the Hunter will be the very first Marvel movie from Sony to be released into theaters with an “R” rating, with lots of bloody violence being promised.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the title character, Marvel’s ultimate predator.
“Kraven the Hunter is the visceral story about how and why one of Marvel’s most iconic villains came to be. Set before his notorious vendetta with Spider-Man, Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the titular character in the R-rated film.”
Ariana DeBose will play Calypso in the upcoming Kraven the Hunter movie.
Christopher Abbott (Possessor) is playing The Foreigner, with Levi Miller (Better Watch Out) also on board. Alessandro Nivola (The Many Saints of Newark) will play another villain, but character details are under wraps. Russell Crowe and Fred Hechinger also star.
J.C. Chandor (A Most Violent Year) is directing Kraven the Hunter.
The screenplay was written by Art Marcum & Matt Holloway and Richard Wenk.
