Bradley Whitford Joins ‘Godzilla: The King Of The Monsters’
Only a few days afterthe additionofSilicon Valley’sThomas Middleditchto the cast ofGodzilla: The King of Monsters,Bradley Whitford, who was recently quite terrifying inGet Out, has joined the film. Just like Middleditch, we have no clue who Whitford is playing, but we do know he’s boarding aMillie Bobby Brown-led cast that keeps on getting better.
Below, learn more about theGodzilla King of the Monsterscast.
Whitford’s casting was rumored recently, but it’s now confirmed byThe Hollywood Reporter. As expected withMichael Dougherty’s sequel, practically zero character or plot details have been shared about the script he co-wrote withZach ShieldsandMax Borenstein(Godzilla). We do know Millie Bobby Brown,Vera Farmiga, andKyle Chandlerare playing a family, but that’s about it. After
AfterKrampus, I’m looking forward to seeing how Dougherty portrays a family when they’re under attack by thekingof monsters, not just holiday-themed monsters.O’Shea Jackson Jr.(Ingrid Goes West),Aisha Hinds(Underground),Charles Dance(Game of Thrones), andRandy Havens(Stranger Things) co-star in the movie, which will also bring backKen Watanabeand, hopefully in a more substantial role,Sally Hawkins.
AfterGodzillaandKong: Skull Island, the ensembles for these “MonsterVerse” movies continue to impress. Sometimes a few great actors stay on the sidelines longer than one would hope, but in both cases, some performances really stand out.Bryan CranstonandJohn C. Reillydelivered some unexpected and heartfelt work in those movies. They unquestionably elevated the first two “MonsterVerse” films.
TheGodzillasequel is the third movie in Warner Bros.' MonsterVerse. In 2020, Godzilla and King Kong will cross paths in a mammoth-sized brawl imagined by the director ofThe Guest,Adam Wingard. The hiring of Wingard and Dougherty inspires promise for these movies. Perhaps their backgrounds in horror will help them bring something extra to the monster action, maybe a little more emotion or fear. Their movies also have really funny, dark senses of humor I wouldn’t mind a little of in their monster movies, but we have a while to go until we find out what exactly they have planned. Dougherty starts shootingGodzilla: King of Monsterswith Whitford and the rest of a great cast sometime this month in Atlanta.
Godzilla: King of the Monsterswill open onMarch 22, 2019. A year laterGodzilla vs. Konghits theaters onMay 22, 2020.
