Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire
Summary
The Hollywood Reporterhas brought give-and-take that Dave Callaham has been brought on by Legendary to compose the handwriting for theuntitledGodzilla X Kong : The New Empiresequel . Callaham is well known for his work in the sphere of laughable book adjustment , having co - written the Marvel Cinematic Universe’sShang - Chi and the Legend of the Ten RingsandSpider - Man : Across the Spider - Verse . Though not confirm at the prison term of writing , late Monsterverse director Adam Wingard is also expected to return to " fill out a trilogy " .
The write up also designate that Legendary is looking atThe New Empireas one of the most profitable motion-picture show yet , having so far gross near to $ 555 million worldwide against its confirmed $ 135 million production budget , the lowest of all five movies .
What Callaham’s Hiring Means For Godzilla X Kong 2
The Writer Has His Own Unique Monsterverse History
Interestingly , while better recognise for his body of work in the Marvel domain , Callaham has his own yesteryear in the Monsterverse as being the first author tapped to pen the script for 2014’sGodzilla . Though he would ultimately keep back a " Story By " credit on the project , a variety of author were brought in to rewrite his original script , includingThe Dark Knight ’s David S. Goyer , The Walking Dead ’s Frank Darabont , futureAndorcreator Tony Gilroy and Max Borenstein . The latter would get the " write By " mention , while also go on to provide the story forGodzilla : King of the Monstersand co - writingGodzilla vs. Kong .
Godzilla 2014 was a moderately heavy entry into the Godzilla franchise , and here ’s where the flick succeeded and fail .
With no other writer affirm to be refund , nor has Wingard ’s deal been adjust as of yet , Callaham ’s hiring for theGodzilla X Kongsequel marks an interesting direction for the franchise . Wingard was n’t technically confirm until two months afterThe New Empirewas announced , but with it currently unclear whether Callaham will be working on an original slant like with the 2014 moving picture or on a conception from Wingard , the Monsterverse could find itselfventuring into new tonal territory , much like it did as it bounced between the more seriousGodzillaand pulpyKong : Skull Island .
That being enjoin , late years have demonstrate Callaham ’s power to flex dissimilar tonal muscles in his writing , particularly as he co - write both 2021’sMortal Kombatreboot andShang - Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings , which carry very unlike tint , even while being set in an natural action - threatening environment . Additionally , with Wingard having antecedently expressed approximation for hisGodzilla X Kong : The New Empiresequel and Legendary intelligibly keen to bring him back , it seems potential that the studio wo n’t search to embark too far from what made the more recent film hits .
