Gormaru Island has found that Godzilla: King of the Monsters was only given a passing mention at the Licensing Expo in Las Vegas, reported yesterday. Warner Brothers' Consumer Products (WBPC) delivered a press release for the film set to begin filming next month. Though it offers nothing new, it hypes Warner Brothers' and Legendary Pictures' big plans for the MonsterVerse:
Following the global success of 2014’s Godzilla and the acclaimed return of King Kong in Kong: Skull Island earlier this year, Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures deliver the next unmissable chapter of their MonsterVerse with the highly-anticipated Godzilla 2.
Directed by Michael Dougherty (Krampus), starring Vera Farmiga (The Conjuring), Kyle Chandler (Friday Night Lights) and Millie Bobby Brown (Stranger Things), this epic cinematic event unites the larger-than-life icon and global fan-favorite with some of the most renowned giant beasts in popular culture. When the King of the Monsters comes stomping back to screens in March 2019, WBCP, together with Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary, will continue the action and adventure through its exciting product offerings for fans.
Although other films and IP got larger booths and visual presentations, they're also expected to hit theaters within the next year. (Justice League) Godzilla: King of the Monsters, on the other hand, hasn't even begun shooting. Getting this much attention, however, shows WBPC, WB and Legendary want to keep their MonsterVerse on the radar--And that it is.
More as it comes.
