Title announced for Godzilla x Kong sequel
'Godzilla x Kong: Supernova' is the new title for the ''Godzilla x Kong' sequel.
Kaitlyn Dever, Dan Stevens, Jack O'Connell, Matthew Modine, Delroy Lindo, Alycia Debnam-Carey and Sam Neill are set to star in the film, which will be released on March 26, 2027.
'I Am Mother' director Grant Sputore is to helm the movie, which has been penned by 'Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings' writer David Callaham and Michael Lloyd Green.
Although specific plot details for sequel have not been revealed, Deadline previously reported the film will introduce several new human characters who will join the titular Titans as they face off against a new world-ending threat.
Starring Rebecca Hall, Dan Stevens and Brian Tyree Henry 'Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire' followed the legendary Titans, Godzilla and Kong, as they joined forces to face a powerful new threat rising from within Hollow Earth - one that poses a danger to both their kind and the future of humanity.
It was previously announced that 'Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire' director Adam Wingard would not be helming the next movie due to scheduling conflicts.
The Hollywood Reporter said at the time that the filmmaker's departure was amicable, and the door had not been closed on Wingard returning to direct another film in the Monsterverse in the future.
Despite his exit, Wingard previously teased he had 'more story to tell' in the Monsterverse.
He told Discussing Film ahead of 'Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire's cinematic debut in March 2024: 'The whole idea that if you've done two movies, like, maybe you should just go ahead and do a third because, as you said, there's a trilogy in there.
'It just depends on how ['Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire'] does and how things kind of shape out.
'I do have more story to tell with these monsters, and I know where I'd go with it. I would be very excited to be able to come back on for another one if things worked out!'
Legendary's Monsterverse launched in 2014 with 'Godzilla', followed by the introduction of King Kong in 2017's 'Kong: Skull Island'.
The franchise continued with 'Godzilla: King of the Monsters' in 2019, leading to the epic showdown between the two Titans in 2021's 'Godzilla vs. Kong'.
The Monsterverse has since expanded to television, with the animated spin-off series 'Skull Island' on Netflix and the Apple TV+ series 'Monarch: Legacy of Monsters'.

Jon Watts reveals real reason for quitting Fantastic Four
Jon Watts has finally shared why he dropped out of directing 'Fantastic Four: First Steps'. The 'Spider-Man: No Way Home' director quit the project in 2022 and explained that the 'emotional strain' of pandemic-related fatigue meant he had felt he had no option but to quit. According to The Hollywood Reporter, he explained during a storytelling masterclass at the Mediterranean: 'The emotional strain of having to go through all of those COVID protocols while also trying to make something creative while also trying to make sure that your cast and crew were all safe - literally, people could've died if you did things wrong - that and the postproduction process was very difficult. 'When you're doing [visual effects work], there's a whole international component to it where you're using vendors from all over the world, and the supply chain had been interrupted because of COVID. It was really hard to get effects done in a traditional way.' He had committed to 'Fantastic Four' between the second and third 'Spider-Man' movies but when the time came to get started, he was 'out of gas'. He said: 'The COVID layer on top of making a giant movie layer, I knew I didn't have what it would've taken to make that movie great. I was just out of steam, so I just needed to take some time to recover. Everyone at Marvel totally understood. They had been through it with me as well, so they knew how hard and draining that experience has been; in the end, very satisfying, but at some point, if you can't do it at the level that you feel like you need to for it to be great, then it's better to not do it.'

Queen Latifah reveals her first paycheque was just 87 bucks
Queen Latifah's first paycheque was "87 bucks" from Burger King. The 55-year-old Hollywood actress and rapper - who was born Dana Owens - had humble beginnings flipping burgers at the fast food chain long before she became a global star. She told First for Women magazine of her first job: "Burger King, at 15 years old: my first check was for 87 bucks." Now she's in her 50s, the Girls Trip star star feels women should support each other more. She told the publication: "In our 50s, we have to support each other as women. We don't compliment each other enough, and we should. "We are more confident in our skin now-more comfortable than we were in our 20s, 30s and 40s. No one should think life is 'over' after a certain age. I still have so many things I want to do! This is the greatest time for women to lock in on their own health-and finally put themselves first." Meanwhile, the Ladies First hitmaker is set to be the subject of an upcoming biopic and she's excited to be able to tell her own story. She told The Hollywood Reporter in 2024: 'We've been talking about it for a while. "We've seen a lot of people tell our stories who weren't there and really have no idea how much more involved these stories are. It's important to see how it all happened from people who were actively in the room."

I became more cautious of AI because of M3GAN, says Violet McGraw
Violet McGraw "became more cautious of AI because of M3GAN". The 14-year-old actress didn't really know what AI was until she filmed 2022's M3GAN, and Violet admits that starring in the movie franchise has made her more cautious of the technology. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Violet shared: "I became more cautious of AI because of M3GAN. It scares me a little bit, and I never would've thought of it that way if I wasn't in M3GAN." Violet plays the part of Cady, who is sent to live with her aunt Gemma, a roboticist, in the horror franchise. And the actress admits that she developed an affinity with M3GAN, the child-sized humanoid robot doll that's powered by AI, during filming. Violet said: "I love M3GAN so much. If there was a M3GAN in real life, which probably should never happen, I would totally be best friends with her." Violet has reprised the role of Cady to star in M3GAN 2.0, and the actress feels her character has evolved since the last movie. She explained: "Cady is definitely getting more into tech after the first movie, but Gemma isn't a big fan of that because she doesn't want Cady to turn into her or make another M3GAN for that matter." Meanwhile, Violet previously revealed that she's eager to star in an action movie. The teenage star is delighted that M3GAN 2.0 features some thrilling action scenes, and Violet is hopeful of landing a role in a big action blockbuster. Asked if making M3GAN 2.0 felt different because it features more intense scenes, Violet told SFX magazine: "Definitely. "Everyone got older; Amie [Donald, who plays 'M3GAN'] got older. It was a different vibe, but with the same family, and same crew. "It made me want to do an action film so bad. "I'm waiting patiently." Violet originally wanted to be a stunt person, and so she would jump at the chance to star in some action scenes. The actress explained: "I love doing stunts, so whenever I get a chance to do my own stunts, I just get so happy. "I used to want to be a stunt person." M3GAN 2.0 features an upgraded version of the humanoid robot doll, and Violet was left stunned by how "insane" the robot looked and acted. The movie star said: "It had been a long time since I'd seen her, but she's just so upgraded - it's insane. "She's faster, stronger and more lethal than before. There's a picture of me when I first saw the 2.0 doll. And I was like, 'Wow!' "Your eyes get so confused because you think you're talking to a human being. "It feels like there's a real living person in front of me. And it basically is."
