After landing her biggest role in The Last of Us Season 2, Kaitlyn Dever is joining another franchise as she is cast in the next Godzilla x Kong movie.
Deadline reports Dever has been cast in the upcoming Monsterverse sequel. Her role is unclear, though. The report notes that Legendary is hoping to expand the human characters in the upcoming movies.
In previous Monsterverse movies, the likes of Brian Cranston, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Elizabeth Olsen, Brie Larson, Tom Hiddleston, Samuel L. Jackson, Kyle Chandler, Vera Farmiga, Millie Bobby Brown, Alexander Skarsgård, and Rebecca Hall have appeared in the movies. Add Dever to that impressive list of stars.
A sequel to Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire is not surprising. It grossed over $570 million worldwide at the box office. That makes it the highest-grossing entry in the entire cinematic universe.
