How the franchise continues to build and get better
‘Godzilla’ stars Ken Watanabe (‘Inception’), Bryan Cranston (‘Breaking Bad’), Aaron Taylor-Johnson (‘Kick-Ass’), Elizabeth Olsen (‘WandaVision’) and Sally Hawkins (‘The Shape of Water’). Although the main protagonists of the first film’s storyline did not return for ‘Godzilla 2: King of Monsters’, a new set of people, including Millie Bobby Brown and Kyle Chandler, were added now also be seen in ‘Godzilla vs. Kong’. The two scientists who believed in Godzilla the most, Dr. Serizawa (Ken Watanabe) and Vivienne Graham (Sally Hawkins), died in the 2019 film, and it seems like it is now up to Maddy (Millie Bobby Brown) to carry that torch.
