Godzilla x Kong 2 Cast: Jack O’Connell Joins the Monsterverse Sequel

The Back to Black star has joined the cast of the Godzilla x Kong sequel.

According to Deadline, it’s unclear what character Jack O’Connell will play in the Monsterverse, but he’ll be working alongside Dan Stevens. Stevens is set to reappear as Travis “Trapper” Beasley, a veterinarian with Monarch. In addition to O’Connell and Stevens, the upcoming Godzilla vs Kong sequel also welcomes Kaitlyn Dever into its human cast, where she’ll take on an enigmatic role.

Despite some lingering doubts about Rebecca Hall’s involvement in the sequel, she shared insights on her potential role in future Monsterverse productions when interviewed by Screen Rant during the promotions of Peter Hujar’s Day in January 2025.

When asked about whether her character will appear in the sequel of Godzilla x Kong, Rebecca Hall stated, “I’m not sure. It seems like I have no part in the Monsterverse!

According to the latest scoop from The Hollywood Reporter, this change comes after Adam Wingard’s departure, a shift hinted at by Legendary’s global production chief, Mary Parent, back in April 2024.
