According to Variety, the father and son duo will be joining the previously announced cast members Anna Sawai, Ren Watabe, Kiersey Clemons, Joe Tippett and Elisa Lasowski in the show based on Legendary’s growing Monsterverse franchise.
The show follows the thunderous battle between Godzilla and the Titans that leveled San Francisco and the shocking new reality that monsters are real.

Chris Black and Matt Fraction co-created the series with both executive producing it. Black will also serve as showrunner. Joby Harold and Tory Tunnell of Safehouse Pictures will also executive produce along with Hiro Matsuoka and Takemasa Arita of Toho Co. Ltd. Toho is the owner of the Godzilla character and has licensed the rights to Legendary for the series.
Variety reported that ‘WandaVision’ director Matt Shakman is attached to direct the first two episodes and executive produce. The show continues the story of the Legendary Monsterverse established in films like ‘Kong: Skull Island’ and 2014’s ‘Godzilla’.
