Godzilla: King of the Monsters Casts an Ice Cube
Well, not exactly Cube himself, but the young actor who played him in Straight Outta Compton! According to Variety, O’Shea Jackson, Jr., is in negotiations to join Legendary’s Godzilla: King of the Monsters.
If signed, he’ll join “Stranger Things” Millie Bobby Brown, along with Kyle Chandler and Vera Farmiga. Michael Dougherty is directing the project from a script he penned with Zach Shields.
Alex Garcia will oversee the tentpole for Legendary. Godzilla: King of Monsters hits theaters on March 22, 2019, with the monster mash-up Godzilla vs. Kong slated to bow the following year on May 29, 2020.
Legendary and Warner Bros. announced in late 2015 that all future King Kong and Godzilla movies would be developed by Legendary and distributed by Warner Bros., starting with Kong: Skull Island. Legendary currently holds a distribution deal with Universal, but in order to re-team Godzilla and King Kong, the studio returned the rights to WB.
