Kyle Chandler to play Millie Bobby Brown's father in 'Godzilla' sequel

Actor Kyle Chandler is set to star in Godzilla sequel.

Godzilla: King of the Monsters, which is part of the Legendary and Warner Bros' cinematic universe, also stars Stranger Things actor Millie Bobby Brown, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Michael Dougherty is directing the project slated for release on March 22, 2019. Dougherty has co-written the script along with Zach Shields.

Chandler, who is known for his roles in Friday Night Lights and Bloodline, will play a scientist and father of Brown's character. The role makes him ostensibly the hero of the movie.

The first film in the franchise, directed by Gareth Edwards and released in 2014, earned $529.1 million worldwide.

Combined with the upcoming Kong: Skull Island, King of the Monsters will lay the foundation of eventual Godzilla vs Kong behemoth of a fight set to release on May 29, 2020.
