The Hindu
Grant Sputore, who made the 2019 sci-fi hit ‘I Am Mother’, will direct next MonsterVerse film, following the success of ‘Godzilla vs Kong’ and ‘Godzilla x Kong: New Empire’
Filmmaker Grant Sputore will tackle the next entry in the hit MonsterVerse franchise of Hollywood studio Legendary.
Sputore, best known for the 2019 sci-fi hit I Am Mother, starring Hilary Swank, will direct the project from a script by Shang Chi scribe Dave Callaham, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Sputore's hiring comes after the exit of Adam Wingard, who helmed the previous two installments of the franchise -- Godzilla vs Kong (2021) and Godzilla x Kong: New Empire (2024) -- that turned out to be humongous hits at the global box office.
Legendary's Monsterverse franchise started with 2014's Godzilla, which was followed by Kong: Skull Island in 2017 and Godzilla: King of the Monsters in 2019.
Godzilla x Kong: New Empire saw Godzilla and Kong uniting to stop a tyrannical leader and his frost-breathing monster from invading the Earth's surface.
