Movie monster Godzilla is getting his own series on Apple TV+. Kurt Russell and his son Wyatt were cast as actors.
As of January, news broke that Apple TV+ has commissioned a live-action series as part of the MonsterVerse franchise. Now it is apparently clear which actors could be won for the “Godzilla” series: Kurt Russell (71) and his son Wyatt (36) join the cast, as reported by the “Hollywood Reporter”.. What roles they will play is still a secret.
Father and son will be in front of the camera alongside Anna Sawai (30), Ren Watabe, Kiersey Clemons (28), Joe Tippett (40) and Elisa Lasowski (35). Matt Shakman (46), known among other things for the series “WandaVision”, will direct the first two episodes. The series was developed by Chris Black and Matt Fraction (46).
That’s what the “Godzilla” series is about
As Apple announced in January, the series continues the 2014 “Godzilla” film. This is the first flick in the MonsterVerse franchise, which also includes the Monster King Kong. After the battle between Godzilla and the Titans, San Francisco is devastated. The previously untitled series is now about a family who embarks on a journey. She uncovers “her buried secrets and a legacy that connects her to the secret organization called Monarch.” It is not yet clear when the series will start on Apple TV+.
Kurt and Wyatt Russell are in front of the camera together for the first time since 1998 for the “Godzilla” series. Back then, Wyatt played a younger version of his father’s character in the movie “Star Force Soldier.” Kurt Russell was last seen in the film “Fast & Furious 9” and his son Wyatt in the series “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” and “Murder for God”.
