Michael Dougherty Teases That Original New Kaiju Will Appear in ‘Godzilla: King of the Monsters’!
As we already know, Michael Dougherty‘s Godzilla: King of the Monsters will bring Mothra, Rodan and King Ghidorah into Legendary’s MonsterVerse, but at Monsterpalooza over the weekend, Dougherty teased that we’ll also be seeing other monsters in the film.
Some of them, he notes, will even be *original* Kaiju!
“Yes, [there are other Kaiju in the movie],” Dougherty told the Monsterpalooza crowd during his Q&A. “Not other Toho licensed creatures, but some original new ones. Yeah.”
“We’ve expanded the ecosystem a little bit,” he added.

The sequel takes place five years after the events in the first film…
“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.”
Zhang Ziyi, Kyle Chandler, Vera Farmiga, Millie Bobby Brown, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Bradley Whitford, Ken Watanabe, Thomas Middleditch, Charles Dance and Aisha Hinds star.
Dougherty directed from a script he wrote with Zach Shields.
Godzilla returns on May 31, 2019.
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
