Charles Dance and Sally Hawkins join Godzilla King of the Monsters
Deadline has reported that Charles Dance will be joining the cast of Godzilla: King of the Monsters. His role in the film is currently unknown as of yet. However, Deadline also confirmed that Sally Hawkins would be reprising her role of Dr. Vivienne Graham from the 2014 film.
As of now, Sally Hawkins and Ken Watanabe are the only actors returning from the first film. Little is known about the plot, although the return of Drs Serizawa and Graham do indicate that Monarch will have a large presence in the film.
Monarch may have more Kaiju then they can deal with in this film thanks to the post credits sequence of Kong: Skull Island. As a reminder, the Kaiju teased in this summer's blockbuster were Rodan, King Ghidorah and Mothra, truly giving Godzilla a chance to claim his crown as 'King of the Monsters'.
Godzilla actor Harou Nakajima has died at the age of 88.
Over the course of 20 years, Nakajima donned the character's iconic, cumbersome suit to play the creature in a dozen films in total, from the original 1954 Godzilla, all the way to 1972's Godzilla vs. Gigan.
In an interview last April, the actor explained how the first suit, which weighed around 200lbs, was created from ready-mixed concrete since rubber was in short supply in the aftermath of WWII. He's also stated in the past that the suit was so difficult to breathe in that an oxygen tube had to be attached.
Godzilla 2 will introduce a new trio of legendary monsters
The role stuck, however, and Nakajima even later played Mothra in 1961 and King Kong in 1967's King Kong Escapes, alongside many other kaiju roles in the likes of War of the Gargantuas and Frankenstein Conquers the World.
However, Nakajima actually began his career in samurai and war films, starring notably in the Akira Kurosawa classic Seven Samurai, alongside Ishirō Honda's WWII film Eagle of the Pacific, who later went on to direct the first Godzilla and spotted how energetic Nakajima was on set, realising he was the perfect pick to play the film's monstrous star
