“Game of Thrones” Actress Jessica Henwick Signs On for ‘Godzilla vs. Kong’
Following recurring roles on “Game of Thrones,” “The Defenders” and “Iron Fist,” Variety reports that Jessica Henwick is the latest to join the ensemble cast for Godzilla vs. Kong.
The cast also includes Millie Bobby Brown (“Stranger Things”), Julian Dennison (Deadpool 2), Rebecca Hall (The BFG), Eiza Gonzalez (Baby Driver), Brian Tyree Henry (“Atlanta”), Alexander Skarsgård (“True Blood”) and Demian Bichir (The Nun).
Adam Wingard (A Horrible Way to Die, V/H/S, The Guest, You’re Next, Death Note) directs.
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 coming soon.
Godzilla and Kong will clash on the big screen on May 22, 2020.
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.”
