Kaitlyn Dever Joins the MonsterVerse
Actress Kaitlyn Dever, known for roles in Booksmart, Dopesick, and her upcoming part as Abby in The Last of Us Season 2, has just confirmed she’s working on the next Godzilla x Kong film. While walking the red carpet in Sydney for The Last of Us, Dever revealed to 7 News Australia that she’s currently shooting a new movie in Queensland. When asked if it’s the Godzilla sequel, she smiled and said, “It would be, yes.”
This confirms she’ll be joining the action-packed MonsterVerse—an exciting addition for fans of the franchise and of Dever herself!
What We Know So Far
The new film follows Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, which made over $572 million at the global box office and was one of the top movies of 2024. That film saw Godzilla and Kong team up to defeat a major threat, and now fans are eager to see what comes next for the two legendary titans.
While the full title, plot, and cast list are still being kept under wraps, here’s what we do know:
- Director: Grant Sputore (I Am Mother) is taking the director’s seat after Adam Wingard stepped away due to scheduling.
- Writer: David Callaham (Shang-Chi, 2014’s Godzilla) is writing the script.
- Returning Cast: Dan Stevens is expected to return as Trapper. New cast members include Matthew Modine, Jack O’Connell, and Delroy Lindo.
- Location: Filming is happening in Queensland, Australia.
What Could Happen Next?
The last movie ended with Kong becoming ruler of the Hollow Earth, while Godzilla returned to the surface world. The next chapter might dive even deeper into their connection—or rivalry—as new monsters or threats could force them to team up again to save the planet.
The MonsterVerse Keeps Growing
Since launching in 2014, the MonsterVerse has become one of the biggest movie franchises in the world, earning over $2.5 billion globally. With each new film, the universe keeps getting bigger, and fans can’t wait to see where the story goes next.
