It was previously rumored that, in fact, multiple classic Godzilla monster opponents would be showing up in the sequel, too.
More recently, screenwriting duo Michael Dougherty and Zach Shields were brought onboard to put together a fresh Godzilla 2 script draft.
Following his breakout project Monsters, Gareth Edwards made the jump from indie filmmaker to big-budget tentpole director with the Godzilla movie reboot in 2014.
With movies such as Krampus and Trick ‘r Treat, Dougherty has also demonstrated a knack for making fun creature features – a talent that would serve him well, on a Godzilla sequel.
