If negotiations prove successful, Danai Gurira will be joining the young Julian Dennison (Firefist in “Deadpool 2”) as well as fellow “Walking Dead” aluminus Van Marten, Zhang Ziyi of “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” and Millie Bobby Brown of “Stranger Things” in “Godzilla vs. Kong.”
The movie is some way off, fourth in Warners’ MonsterVerse franchise, which started with 2014’s “Godzilla” reboot and took a second step forward with 2017’s “Kong: Skull Island.”
“Godzilla: King of the Monsters” is scheduled for 2019, introducing Brown, Ziyi and others to the franchise, alongside Kyle Chandler who returns from 2005’s pre-reboot “King Kong” movie.
Adam Wingard of “Death Note” and “Blair Witch” directs, with “Godzilla vs. Kong” announced for a May 29, 2020 release. Before that, “Godzilla: King of the Monsters” arrives on May 31, 2019.
