Director Michael Dougherty on Godzilla II: King Of The Monsters: These creatures were worshipped as ancient gods

Following the global success of Godzilla and Kong: Skull Island, comes the next chapter Godzilla II: King Of The Monsters, an epic action adventure that pits Godzilla against some of the most popular monsters in pop culture history.

The new story of Godzilla II: King Of The Monsters follows the heroic efforts of the cryptozoological agency Monarch as its members face off against a battery of god-sized monsters including the mighty Godzilla, who collides with Mothra, Roda and his ultimate nemesis the three-headed Ghidorah.

 

Talking about what to expect from the film, director Michael Dougherty said:

“The approach that my writing partner Zach Shields and I took was that Godzilla, the MUTOs, Mothra, Rodan, King Ghidorah — they’re a super-species. These creatures were worshipped as ancient gods; they are the reasons we have stories about dragons and giants and titans. Because if you look at the entire world’s collection of ancient myths, you realize that they all have stories about monsters. What we’re trying to establish is the idea that Godzilla and his brethren are the reason for that.”

 

The film’s ensemble cast includes Millie Bobby Brown, Oscar nominee Vera Farmiga, Oscar nominee Sally Hawkins, Kyle Chandler, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Ken Watanabe, Bradley Whitford, among many other talents.

 

A presentation of Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures, in association with Toho Co., Ltd., the film will hit the cinemas in India on May 31 in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.
