Alycia Debnam-Carey Joins "Godzilla X Kong" Sequel

Australian actress Alycia Debnam-Carey (Apple Cider Vinegar) is the latest addition to the cast of the new Monsterverse movie from Legendary.

The untitled sequel also stars Jack O’Connell, Matthew Modine, Delroy Lindo, and Dan Stevens, who reprises his role as veterinarian Trapper Beasley from last year’s "Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire", the highest-grossing installment in the franchise.

Grant Sputore (I Am Mother) is directing from a script by Shang-Chi‘s Dave Callaham. Sputore took over the directorial reins from Adam Wingard following his work on The New Empire and Godzilla vs. Kong.

While plot specifics are fuzzy, the film features several new human characters alongside Titans Godzilla and Kong as they face off against a cataclysmic world-ending threat.

Launched with Godzilla in 2014, Legendary’s Monsterverse franchise also includes Kong: Skull Island and Godzilla: King of the Monsters, as well as Netflix’s animated spin-off Skull Island and the Apple TV+ series Monarch: Legacy of Monsters. The films, released by Warners, have collectively grossed over $2.5B worldwide.

The project reunites Debnam-Carey with Kaitlyn Dever, with whom she just starred in the hit Netflix series "Apple Cider Vinegar".

In addition, Debnam-Carey has recently been seen in "It’s What’s Inside", the high-concept horror comedy that Netflix acquired out of the 2024 Sundance Film Festival, in the splashiest deal of that year. Prior to that, she starred in all eight seasons of AMC’s "Fear the Walking Dead" and on shows like "The 100" and "The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart", among others.
