Kaylee Hottle had her breakout role in Adam Wingard's Godzilla vs. Kong back in 2020 and the young actress will be returning to reprise her role as Jia in the upcoming sequel, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, again directed by Adam Wingard! Not only is Kaylee returning to the Monsterverse for the Godzilla vs. Kong sequel, but her character's role is reportedly much larger and more important than her role in GvK was!
Besides K-D-M's tease about her character being more prominent and impactful to Godzilla x Kong's plot, we don't know to what extent or how that will play out - but we can assume her bond with Kong and potentially other Titans will come into play more!
Do you have a theory on how Hottle's role will evolve for the sequel? Sound off in the comments with your best guesses!
