After the success of Godzilla vs. Kong, fans were eager to know what would happen next with the MonsterVerse franchise. It was announced that a live-action television series featuring both Godzilla and King Kong would go into development for Apple TV Plus, but that still left the theatrical state clear. Now that’s no longer the case – it’s just been reported that a sequel to Godzilla vs. Kong is being prepped to shoot later this year in Australia.
As revealed via Variety, the project is intended to provide quite the economic boost for Australia. For example:
“The currently untitled sequel will receive A$16 million ($11.8 million) via the Australian federal government’s A$540 million ($399 million) Location Incentive Program. A further A$6.3 million ($4.66 million) of subsidy will come from the state screen agency Screen Queensland and its Production Attraction Strategy.”
They also noted the following:
“The two authorities said on Monday local time that they expect the new production to generate more than A$119 million ($88 million) into the economy, employ more than 500 local cast and crew, and use more than 750 extras.”
It seems as though this Godzilla vs. Kong sequel will be quite the project. Unfortunately, there aren’t any other details given beyond this. As such, fans will have to wait to learn whether or not this film will directly follow the events of Godzilla vs. Kong, or take another route with its titular monsters. With a variety of ideas having been pitched in the past, and a live-action series also in development, it’s clear that the growing MonsterVerse could go forward in any given direction. As such, fans can stay tuned to ScreenGeek for updates as we have them.
The untitled sequel to Godzilla vs. Kong will be the latest film in a series of movies which also included the 2014 film Godzilla, the 2017 film Kong: Skull Island, and the 2019 film Godzilla: King of the Monsters.
