Fresh off a key role in Jordan Peele’s Get Out, we learned over the weekend that Bradley Whitford (The Cabin in the Woods) is the latest to join the cast of Trick ‘r Treat writer/director Michael Dougherty’s Godzilla: King of the Monsters. According to IMDb, Whitford is playing a character named Dr. Stanton in the sequel to 2014’s reboot.
Additionally, Dougherty himself tweeted out two very interesting tidbits over the weekend. For starters, the titular monster may be getting a new design for the 2019 sequel. Furthermore, we will be seeing A LOT more of him than what we got back in 2014!
He is evolution in the flesh, so… https://t.co/fob0xvKzEn
