It’s been announced that Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi (pictured below) has joined the cast of Godzilla: King of the Monsters, the sequel to the 2014 Gareth Edwards film. Supposedly, Ziyi will have a major role in the franchise, according to Deadline. The interesting word there is “franchise”, which was used instead of “movie” or “film”. This might very well mean that Ziyi will also appear in Adam Wingard’s Godzilla vs. Kong.
Ziyi joins the growing cast that also includes Kyle Chandler as a scientist and Vera Farmiga and Millie Bobby Brown as his family members with Thomas Middleditch, Charles Dance, Randy Havens, Sally Hawkins, O’Shea Jackson, Jr., Bradley Whitford, and Ken Watanabe rounding out the cast.
Michael Dougherty is directing Godzilla: King of the Monsters from a script he penned with Zach Shields. It is currently in production and scheduled for release on March 22, 2019. Alex Garcia is overseeing the project for Legendary. The monster mash-up Godzilla vs. Kong, which recently announced Blair Witch‘s Adam Wingard as its director, is slated to bow the following year on May 22, 2020.
