The Brilliant Charles Dance Has Joined Godzilla: King of the Monsters
Well, damn! Michael Dougherty’s Godzilla: King of the Monsters has snagged renowned thespian Charles Dance, according to Deadline. The site also reports that Sally Hawkins is coming back to reprise her 2014 Godzilla role as Dr. Vivienne Graham.
While many know Charles Dance for his roles in “Game of Thrones” or Last Action Hero, I’ll always think of him as either Sardo Numspa from The Golden Child or Clemens from Alien 3. Hearing that he’s going to be in Godzilla: King of the Monsters just fills me with joy!
Dance and Hawkins will join Millie Bobby Brown (“Stranger Things”), Vera Farmiga (The Conjuring, “Bates Motel”), Kyle Chandler, Ken Watanabe (Godzilla), and O’Shea Jackson, Jr.
Director Dougherty (Trick ‘r Treat) co-wrote the script with Zach Shields. The film was referenced in the recent giant monster feature Kong: Skull Island.
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 22, 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.
