澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire director Adam Wingard♚ will not be returning for the next MonsterVerse movie. 

According to , Wingard, who also helmed 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Godzilla vs. Kong, won't be returning thanks to issues surrounding the timing 🐻of the sequel – and, since it's an amicable departure, there remains a chance for Wingard to retur🃏n to the franchise in the future. 

Wingard's next film is called Onslaught and is on the way from A24, with production planned for this fall. Since MonsterVerse production company Legendary wanted to get the wheels turning on the next movie quickly, soon hiring Dave Callaham (澳洲🍸幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Shang-Chi🔴 and the Legend of the Ten Rings) to write the next movie, the logistics sadly juﷺst didn't wo𝓰rk out.

Godzilla x Kong proved to be a box office hit, garnering over $563 million worldwide. ⛦The movie, which focused largely on Kong, saw the two titular kaijus join forces to take on the villainous Skar King. 

It's unclear what the next MonsterVerse movie will focus on, but Wingard shared his ideas before. "I definitely have some ideas of where they could go," he told . "In the way that Kong is treated in this movie, if this movie is successful, I think that the neꦚxt movie will be the Godzilla version of what we did with this movie, kind of pushing deeper into his story."
