Monster movies are in a bit of a revival these days and Warner Bros. along with Legendary Pictures are exercising as much of it as they can. With Godzilla: King of Monsters in the works, the recent Godzilla film itself, and Kong: Skull Island, everything is set to come together with Godzilla Vs. Kong and now the director for it has been found. Adam Wingard has finalized the deal for it and it marks his move from low budget horror films like You’re Next and The Guest to the big leagues. He’s currently wrapping up things on the Netflix film for Death Note, a Warner Bros. property, and tentatively has a remake of the 2010 film I Saw the Devil lined up next.
Set for a May 22nd, 2020 release date, the film is being overseen by Terry Rossio with a writers room that included Patrick McKay and J.D. Payne (Star Trek Beyond), Lindsey Beer, Cat Vasko, Maze Runner movies writer T.S. Nowlin, Jack Paglen (Transcendence) and Babylon 5 creator J. Michael Straczynski.
