In an exciting development for fans of the MonsterVerse, acclaimed actor Delroy Lindo has officially joined the cast of the much-anticipated new MonsterVerse movie produced by Legendary Entertainment. Known for his remarkable performances, Lindo’s addition is sure to elevate the film’s appeal and deepen the connection audiences have with the characters amidst the monstrous chaos.
While the human characters in the MonsterVerse films often take a backseat to the Titans, Legendary is making a concerted effort to assemble a dynamic and engaging cast for the sequel to Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. With Delroy Lindo joining the mix, excitement is growing as audiences anticipate how his character will interact with the iconic giants and contribute to the unfolding narrative. Reports from The Hollywood Reporter highlight Lindo’s impressive career, suggesting that his involvement will bring depth and complexity to the storyline, enhancing the overall viewing experience.
Currently, specific plot details about the upcoming MonsterVerse installment remain shrouded in mystery. However, Legendary has teased that this sequel will introduce “several new human characters alongside the beloved and iconic Titans Godzilla and Kong as they face off against a cataclysmic world-ending threat.” This hints at a thrilling blend of human drama and epic monster battles. Kaitlyn Dever, known for her role in The Last of Us, is set to star, with Jack O?Connell playing her brother. Additionally, Dan Stevens is expected to reprise his role as Trapper, the Titan veterinarian who previously made waves by replacing Kong?s infected tooth with a metallic version. Lindo?s character is said to be Dever?s boss at Monarch, suggesting tensions and dynamics that could add richness to the plot.
After helming the last two successful MonsterVerse films, director Adam Wingard has decided to step aside for this project to focus on his upcoming action horror thriller, Onslaught. In his place, Grant Sputore, known for directing Hilary Swank?s critically acclaimed sci-fi thriller I Am Mother, has been chosen to lead this new chapter in the MonsterVerse saga. The script is being penned by Dave Callaham, who previously contributed to Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. Fans can mark their calendars, as this highly anticipated MonsterVerse film is scheduled for release on March 26, 2027, promising an exhilarating experience filled with monstrous confrontations and human resilience.
Looking ahead, Delroy Lindo will also be featured in Ryan Coogler?s supernatural horror film Sinners. This gripping narrative stars Michael B. Jordan as twin brothers seeking to escape their troubled pasts, only to confront an even greater evil that awaits them in their hometown. The ensemble cast includes notable actors such as Hailee Steinfeld, Jack O?Connell, Wunmi Mosaku, Jayme Lawson, Omar Benson Miller, and Li Jun Li. Fans can catch Sinners in theaters on April 18th. Additionally, Lindo is part of the stellar cast in Prime Video?s Anansi Boys, a six-episode adaptation of Neil Gaiman?s novel. Although production wrapped up two years ago, the release timeline remains uncertain due to the controversy surrounding Gaiman.
