Sam Neill Joins Next Monsterverse Movie at Legendary
Legendary has closed a deal for Sam Neill to join the cast of the next theatrical feature film in their Monsterverse franchise from director Grant Sputore, the studio announced on Tuesday.
Neill joins previously announced cast including Dan Stevens, who is reprising his role as “Trapper,” Kaitlyn Dever, Jack O’Connell, Delroy Lindo, Matthew Modine, and Alycia Debnam-Carey.
Dave Callaham wrote the current draft of the script.
The franchise continues to draw global audiences with 2024’s “Godzilla x Kong” becoming its highest-grossing installment and the highest-grossing “Godzilla” film of all time. The next entry will feature several new human characters alongside the beloved and iconic Titans Godzilla and Kong as they face off against a cataclysmic world-ending threat.
Ten years strong, Legendary’s Monsterverse is an expansive cross-platform story universe centering around humanity’s battle to survive in a world facing a catastrophic new reality – the monsters of our myths and legends being real.
