Kaiju film fans can now officially rejoice. Yesterday (July 26) at San Digeo Comic-Con, Legendary Films announced that there will be a Godzilla sequel that will feature iconic monsters Mothra, Rodan and King Ghidorah.
Reports Deadline:
Legendary‘s Thomas Tull has just made it official at his Comic-Con panel: Gareth Edwards appeared via video announcing Godzilla 2. As for timing, he will direct it after helming the Star Wars spinoff stand-alone film that Disney has dated for December 16, 2016. They also disclosed Mothra, Rodan and Ghidorah would be part of it, and the clip ended with “Let them fight.”
Edwards came to Comic-Con last year with the kaiju reboot which went on to be a hit for Legendary, and in the video message sent today “from a galaxy far, far away” he said he’ll return for Godzilla 2 after shooting his Star Wars pic. “We get to make another one,” he said. “I’m just up here doing a small little sci-fi movie, as soon as that’s over will be Godzilla 2.”
December 16, 2016 can’t get here fast enough.
