No, Michael Dougherty is Not Directing Godzilla 2... Yet, Anyway...

Man i hope this lack of directors won't make this movie scrapped.

They're probably waiting to see how Kong Skull Island does before they really commit.

Very unlikely this movie will be scrapped. They just hired 2 new writers plus they will be filming in China in that new mega studio Wanda just built. I always thought that we will hear about a new director when the hype of Kong SI dies down.

No cast, no director, just announcing the script writers and they didn't commit to really big names for that either.

If Kong fails that's a BIG red flag towards future Godzilla movies. Not saying it's incredibly likely this films gets scrapped, but it's not unthinkable. A lot rests on Kong for if this cinematic universe Legendary is trying to create goes through.

Keep in mind this movie comes out in 2 and a half years....

Coincidentally leaving them enough time to see how Kong does before they really throw their cards in, or pull out.

I'm worried for this movie now...

I wouldn't worry unless Kong flops.

Like I said it's not extremely likely Godzilla 2 gets scrapped, but it is possible

I wouldn't be worried. I think you'll hear about casting news and plot around 6-9 months from now, director too.

I doubt Kong will make as much as Godzilla did, but I doubt that will hinder the development of Godzilla 2. Godzilla has way more marquee value, especially in the east. Godzilla will always be a profitable property, I don't see Legendary dropping it at all.

Ehhhhhh, idk about Godzilla having more marquee than Kong.

At this time he does, this hasn't been true in the past though.

I don't know about being better even now. At best they're even they're both the premier giant monsters.

That may be true, but Godzilla '14 did well; and there is a lot of hype growing about Kong: SI. I think this universe is in good shape right now.
