In 2020, Legendary’s rebooted versions of King Kong and Godzilla will do battle on the big screen in Adam Wingard’s Godzilla vs. Kong, and THR reports today that The Nun star Demián Bichir is the latest actor in talks to join the mashup fight flick’s cast.
The cast also includes Millie Bobby Brown (“Stranger Things”), Julian Dennison (Deadpool 2) and Brian Tyree Henry (“Atlanta”).
The film will be the fourth in the cinematic universe featuring the two monsters. The first installment of Legendary’s Monsterverse was 2014’s Godzilla, followed by 2017’s Kong: Skull Island, which grossed more than $565 million worldwide. A sequel to Godzilla, titled Godzilla: King of the Monsters, with Kyle Chandler, Vera Farmiga, and Brown, is now in production.
