Millie Brady & Pilou Asbaek Join Wyatt Russell-Led Untitled Monsterverse Series
A new Titan is coming our way, and we’re starting to learn the names of those who will face it. Deadline reports that Millie Brady (“The Last Kingdom”) and Pilou Asbaek (pictured above in Overlord) have joined Legendary’s untitled Monsterverse series for Apple TV.
They join previously cast Wyatt Russell, who reprises his role as Young Shaw, a character that originated in “Monarch: Legacy of Monsters”, where Russell plays a younger version of his dad, Kurt Russell.
Along with the news, JD Dillard (Sweetheart) has been tapped to direct the pilot episode of the new series, with Joby Harold showrunning.
The series “follows the story of Colonel Lee Shaw (Russell), an American operative who, in 1984, went on a secret mission behind enemy lines in an attempt to stop the Soviets from unleashing a horrific new Titan big enough to destroy the U.S. and turn the tide of the Cold War.”
As for “Monarch: Legacy of Monsters”, the show is an expansion of the Monsterverse revolving around everyone’s favorite Kaiju (it’s me, I’m everyone), Godzilla and King Kong, that Legendary kicked off with their 2014 Godzilla film. Next up in the film series is Godzilla x Kong: Supernova, which is set to release sometime in 2027.
Executive producers are Harold and Tory Tunnell for Safehouse Pictures, alongside Russell, Chris Black, Kyle Bradstreet, Alex Boden, and Dillard, with Hiro Matsuoka and Takemasa Arita executive producing for Toho Co., Ltd.
The outlet notes that Harold and Tunnell are developing multiple new series set within the Monsterverse for Apple TV that feature both new and fan-favorite Titans.
You can stream seasons 1 and 2 of “Monarch” on Apple TV now.
Stay tuned to Dread as we learn more details on what to expect from the untitled Kaiju series.
