In a new sit-down with Variety, Wingard discussed his next project, a sequel to 1997’s Face/Off (directed by John Woo and starring John Travolta and Nicolas Cage). Specifically, the filmmaker was asked how his experience directing Godzilla vs Kong might affect Face/Off 2. Here’s what he told them:
“They’re so different. Godzilla vs. Kong is about two icons pairing off against each other. The Face/Off story that I’m telling is much more of a family story. But I’m sure the experience of making this movie will make Face/Off more of an epic movie. I have the knowledge now of how to make a really big, thrilling movie, which will play into it.”
