A sixth installment in Legendary’s 10-years-strong Monsterverse is in the works, and The Hollywood Reporter lets us know that Grant Sputore (I Am Mother) will direct the movie.
THR notes, “The new Monstervese feature is described as a continuation of the franchise centering Godzilla, Kong and an assortment of other Titans.” Stay tuned for more.
Adam Wingard, meanwhile, is returning to his roots with Onslaught, an action-thriller for A24 that’s said to be more in the vein of his earlier movies You’re Next and The Guest.
Wingard had directed both Godzilla vs. Kong and Godzilla x Kong.
We had recently learned that Dave Callaham (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings) is writing the upcoming (and untitled) sixth movie in the Monsterverse franchise.
Beginning with the Godzilla film in 2014 and continuing through 2017’s Kong: Skull Island, 2019’s Godzilla: King of the Monsters, 2021’s Godzilla vs. Kong, and most recently the record-breaking Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, the Monsterverse has accumulated over $2B at the global box office and expanded into the highly successful event series, Legendary’s Monarch: Legacy of Monsters for Apple TV+. We recently learned that “Monarch” is getting a second season, with more Monsterverse spinoff shows being planned at Apple TV+.
“Apple TV+ has struck a new multi-series deal with Legendary Entertainment, which includes multiple spinoff series based on the franchise,” the recent press release had stated.
