Dan Stevens (Downton Abbey, Legion) has entered negotiations to reprise his MonsterVerse role as Trapper in Legendary’s untitled sequel.
His character first appeared last year’s Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, where he was introduced as a laid back veterinarian working for Monarch.
Should Stevens’ casting be finalized, he would be joining Golden Globe nominee Kaitlyn Dever (Booksmart), who was the first new cast member set to join the newest installment of the blockbuster franchise.
Further details about her character are still currently under wraps. The Godzilla x Kong sequel will be directed by Grant Sputore (I Am Mother) from a screenplay written by Dave Callaham.
The film will reportedly feature “several new human characters alongside the beloved and iconic Titans Godzilla and Kong as they face off against a cataclysmic world-ending threat.” It is currently scheduled to arrive in theaters on March 26, 2027.
