Following Adam Wingard’s Departure, The Godzilla X Kong Sequel Has Found Its New Director, And It’s Someone With Interesting Sci-Fi Cred

Movies



Earlier this year, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire arrived on the 2024 movies schedule, arriving three years after the release of Godzilla vs. Kong and just two months after the end of the TV series Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, which can be streamed with an Apple TV+ subscription. The latest MonsterVerse movie has done quite well at the box office, and now a sequel is in development. Unlike the last two movies though, Adam Wingard will not direct it, but now his successor has been revealed, and it’s someone with interesting sci-fi cred.

Grant Sputore has been tapped to helm the Godzilla x Kong sequel, per THR. If the name doesn’t sound familiar to you, that’s because he’s primarily worked on commercials. That said, he made his feature filmmaker debut with the cyberpunk thriller I Am Mother, which was about a young girl being raised by a robot who was aiding in the repopulation of Earth following an extinction event. This flick starring Rose Byrne, Hilary Swank and Clara Rugaard premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2019 and then was released to Netflix subscription holders the following June.
