O’Shea Jackson, Jr. in Talks to Join ‘Godzilla: King of Monsters’
“Straight Outta Compton” star gears up to join Millie Bobby Brown and Kyle Chandler in sequel to Legendary’s 2014 kaiju movie
King of Monsters is a sequel to the 2014 “Godzilla” film starring Bryan Cranston and is part of Legendary’s cinematic universe that also includes the recently released Kong:
Both films will be distributed by Warner Bros. as part of a deal that moved distribution of “Skull Island” from Universal Pictures — which currently has a distribution deal with Legendary and distributed Peter Jackson’s 2005 remake of the original “King Kong” — to WB in order to make the Godzilla/Kong confrontation possible.
Jackson played his father, legendary rapper Ice Cube, in the hit N.W.A. biopic “Straight Outta Compton” in 2015.
