Los Angeles, April 28, 2021: After the hugely successful box office run of "Godzilla vs. Kong", Legendary Pictures has reportedly begun preparation for a new movie in its MonsterVerse franchise. Director Adam Wingard, who has helmed "Godzilla vs. Kong", is in talks to return to direct the new monster film.

"Godzilla vs. Kong", which debuted in theaters on March 31 in the USA, has grossed over $400 million at the box office, marking the highest-grossing Hollywood release of the pandemic era. The movie was released simultaneously on the streaming platform, HBO Max as part of Warner Bros' multi-platform release strategy for the studio's 2021 slate.



"Godzilla vs. Kong" is the fourth movie in the franchise since Legendary kicked off their MonsterVerse plans, after partnering with Japan's Toho Studios for 2014's "Godzilla". The other two movies in the franchise are 2017's "Kong Skull Island" (the franchise's current box office leader with more than $566 million worldwide) and 2019's "Godzilla: King of the Monsters".

Adam Wingard would be the first to return for a second film. The first three movies in the MonsterVerse projects, directed by Gareth Edwards, Jordan Vogt-Roberts, and Michael Dougherty respectively.

There are no details regarding when the new movie would begin production, especially given that Wingard has a pretty full plate at the moment, with a live-action "Thundercats" feature in the works for Warner Bros. and a "Face/Off" sequel at Paramount upcoming.
