Legendary has revealed the official titles for both the Godzilla sequel and the Pacific Rim sequel in a fairly innocuous press release about the hiring of production execs.
Godzilla: King of Monsters will be the name of the sequel to Gareth Edwards’ 2014 hit, which will be helmed by Michael Dougherty (Krampus) and is currently scheduled for release on March 22, 2019. Godzilla, King of the Monsters! was the title of the 1956 American release version of the original 1954 Japanese Godzilla film, which featured footage of Raymond Burr added in to Americanize the film.
Pacific Rim: Uprising (previously titled “Pacific Rim: Maelstrom”) is the moniker for the February 23, 2018 release starring John Boyega that is currently shooting in China and Australia under director Steven S. DeKnight (Marvel’s Daredevil).
