Matthew Modine (“Stranger Things,” Full Metal Jacket) has signed on to appear in the next installment in Legendary’s MonsterVerse franchise.
He will reportedly play a general in the film, which is set to enter production next month in Australia for a March 26, 2027 release via Warner Bros.
Modine joins the previously announced Dan Stevens, who will reprise his role as kaiju expert Trapper from last year’s Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, Kaitlyn Dever (No One Will Save You), Jack O’Connell (Eden Lake), and Delroy Lindo (Da 5 Bloods)
The followup to Godzilla x Kong — the highest grossing Godzilla film of all time — will feature several new human characters alongside the iconic Titans as they face off against a cataclysmic world-ending threat.
Insiders say that while Godzilla and Kong will still be fronting the film, Legendary is looking to build on its human characters. Director Grant Sputore (I Am Mother) is aiming to combine character-driven storytelling with the franchise’s signature epic scale and action.
Dave Callaham (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse), who helped establish the MonsterVerse with a story credit on 2014’s Godzilla, penned the script.
Modine will also reprise his role as Dr. Martin Brenner — or Papa, as Eleven knows him — in the fifth and final season of “Stranger Things,” due out later this year on Netflix.
