Entertainment news source The Hollywood Reporter revealed on Tuesday that Kyle Chandler (Friday Night Lights, Super 8, Bloodline) has joined the cast of Godzilla: King of Monsters, the sequel film to Legendary Pictures’ 2014 Godzilla movie.
Godzilla: King of Monsters was previously known as Godzilla 2 before Legendary announced the film’s new title last month.
Director Gareth Edwards, who directed the 2014 Godzilla film, left the Godzilla sequel project last May.
Dougherty previously led the writing room collaborators who brainstormed how to unite the current Godzilla and King Kong projects under Legendary’s “MonsterVerse” franchise.
