It has been decades since Godzilla made their debut, and of course, the kaiju has become a favorite with fans across the globe. In fact, the whole kaiju genre has exploded in the wake of Godzilla’s debut, and legends like Kong were sparked from the flame. Last year, all eyes were on the two as Godzilla vs Kong brought them together on the big screen, and the MonsterVerse plans to reunite the beasts in a new movie. And now, one of its stars Rebecca Hall is addressing their return to the MonsterVerse as filming on the sequel gets underway overseas.
Speaking with the Herald Sun in Australia, the actress took time to talk about their love of the Golden Coast and of kaiju. It was there Hall admitted she could not say much about Godzilla and Kong as she was “NDA’d out the wazoo”. But as for what she could say, well – they were all very positive.

“I had such a good time on the last one and I loved everyone involved in it,” she explained. “I loved [director] Adam Wingard – he’s such an eccentric visionary in terms of a filmmaker and I really enjoy just being a part of his neon-inflected universe. The people in it are great, and the people behind it are great. I was really excited to get to work with Brian Tyree Henry who I didn’t get to work with on the last one and this time, we have a lot of stuff together so that was great. So, the whole thing was just delightful.”
The MonsterVerse’s Future
Currently, Godzilla and Kong has not announced its official title though it working title surfaced online months ago. Right now, the movie is slated to debut in March 2024, so Legendary Entertainment has some time to roll out info to fans. As for what we know about the MonsterVerse’s new film, details are scarce for the most part. Warner Bros. Discovery did say the sequel will follow Godzilla and Kong as they discover new threats hidden deep beneath the Earth’s surface. So of course, the MonsterVerse’s Hollow Earth will be laid out when Godzilla and Kong goes live.
Of course, this new movie is not the only thing going for the MonsterVerse. Right now, the team at Apple TV+ is working hard on an original series set within the universe. The untitled show will take place after Godzilla (2015) as a family in San Francisco learns about its ties to Monarch. So with these two projects in the works, fans can see how important kaiju have become to Hollywood. And thanks to Hall, Godzilla and Kong should be hitting up theaters before we know it.
