Warner Bros. has released two official pictures from Godzilla: King of Monsters which unveils the first look at the Alpha Predator reptile going on a rampage using its atomic breath.
Courtesy to Entertainment Weekly, The second picture features actress Millie Bobby Brown and Vera Farmiga who are playing the lead roles in the film. Farmiga is playing the character of Dr. Emma Russell, a scientist working for Monarch, while Brown is playing her daughter.
Godzilla: King of Monsters is a follow up to 2014’s Godzilla film reboot directed by Gareth Edwards. It is the third installment in WB’s Monster Verse cinematic universe after Godzilla and last year’s Kong: Skull Island.
The film follows the story of Dr. Emma Russell and her daughter Madison who gets kidnapped by a mysterious organization. Now it’s all up to Emma’s ex-husband and Madison’s father, Mark Russell (Kyle Chandler), to save them.
During an interview with EW, director Michael Dougherty said that the humans in the upcoming film are reacting in the same manner as people would typically react when they discover something that they don’t understand. They have a fear in the film that there could be more than just Godzilla hanging around on Earth.
“The world is reacting to Godzilla, in the same way, we would react to any other terrifying incident, in that we are overreacting,” the Godzilla: King of Monsters director said. “But there’s paranoia and endless speculation about whether he is the only one out there or whether we’re threatened by others like his kind.”
Dougherty has already confirmed on Twitter that his upcoming movie Godzilla: King of Monsters is headed to San Diego Comic-Con 2018 for the main Hall H event. However, he chose not to reveal anything else beyond that for the time being.
Godzilla: King of the Monsters is set to debut in theatres on May 31, 2019.
