Godzilla x Kong cast: The obvious
Before we delve into which humans are along for the ride, it should be reiterated that our two leading characters aren’t actually real. As the title suggests, Godzilla and King Kong are taking center stage, with a few more ape-shaped faces to meet along the way.
Speaking to Post Perspective, the 2021 film’s VFX supervisor Bryan Hirota explained: “As Godzilla vs. Kong takes place 50 years after Skull Island, we explored aging Kong relative to the number of years that had elapsed. We received concept art from the client as a starting point and, along with real-world references, we developed a final ‘old man’ look for Kong, who was more aged, muscular, and bigger while still maintaining continuity from Skull Island in relation to any past wounds and battle scars.”
Dr. Ilene Andrews: Rebecca Hall
Dr. Ilene Andrews is working as one of the senior scientists at Skull Island at the time Kong manages to break free from his enclosure. She has an adopted daughter called Jia, dedicating the rest of her life to studying the giant ape — though he can never fully trust her.
Alongside appearing in the first Kongzilla installment, Rebecca Hall can also be recognized from Iron Man 3, The Town, and Vicky Christina Barcelona.
Bernie Hayes: Brian Tyree Henry
Bernie Hayes is originally a conspiracy theorist who hosts the Titan Truth Podcast, before posing as a technician at Apex Cybernetics’ Pensacola facility to investigate and hopefully expose the company’s shady activities. He’s also a survivor of a previous Godzilla attack.
Fans might also recognize Bryan Tyree Henry from Bullet Train, Eternals, and starring in Causeway alongside Jennifer Lawrence.
Trapper: Dan Stevens
Brand new to Godzilla x Kong, there’s little known about Trapper. However, we can infer that he has an existing relationship with Ilene from the trailer, alongside potentially rubbing Bernie up the wrong way.
