The Godzilla x Kong
sequel has added another new star to its impressive cast with a Fear the Walking ᴅᴇᴀᴅ alum. Following the success of Adam Wingard’s movie-monster mashup Godzilla vs. Kong in 2021, the two тιтular тιтans returned for a team-up film last year in the form of Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. It’s now been confirmed that another installment in Legendary’s MonsterVerse is on the way from director Grant Sputore, with the Godzilla x Kong sequel’s cast already reported to include Dan Stevens, Matthew Modine, and Kaitlyn Dever, among others.
ᴅᴇᴀᴅline now reports that Alycia Debnam-Carey has also joined the Godzilla x Kong sequel. No details have been revealed about her new character just yet, however, and it’s unclear how she will fit into the story. Though no official logline for the film has been revealed, ᴅᴇᴀᴅline writes that the movie “features several new human characters alongside тιтans Godzilla and Kong, as they face off against a cataclysmic world-ending threat.”
What This Means For The Godzilla x Kong Sequel
Where You’ve Seen Alycia Debnam-Carey Before
Many questions remain about the follow-up to The New Empire, but the cast already features an impressive array of actors. In addition to Debnam-Carey, Dever, Modine, and Stevens, Jack O’Connell and Delroy Lindo are also reported to appear. It currently remains unclear whether other Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire cast members Rebecca Hall (Dr. Ilene Andrews), Kaylee H๏τtle (Jia), and Bryan Tyree Henry (Bernie Hayes) will return for the new installment.
As for Debnam-Carey, she will be best known to many audiences for her role as Alicia Clark across all eight seasons of AMC’s Fear the Walking ᴅᴇᴀᴅ. The Godzilla x Kong sequel will mark a reunion for her and Dever, who just recently starred together in Apple Cider Vinegar for Netflix. Debnam-Carey also appeared in other shows like The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart (2023) and The 100 (2014 – 2020), as well as It’s What’s Inside (2024), a Netflix horror comedy movie from last year.
Our Take On Alycia Debnam-Carey Joining The Godzilla x Kong Sequel
The Next Film Could Lay The Groundwork For Future Movies
Just in terms of its cast, the follow-up to The New Empire sounds exciting. With only one returning cast member back from the previous film (so far), the movie could be wiping the slate clean in many ways with its human characters, starting fresh with a new group who could return to play larger roles in subsequent movies.
The New Empire has a lackluster 54% score on Rotten Tomatoes from critics but a strong 89% from audiences. The film was also a box office success, grossing $571 million.
Even though the тιтans themselves are usually the stars of the show in the MonsterVerse movies, Debnam-Carey’s star power has steadily been rising in recent years, and she could make for a great addition to the film. After Apple Cider Vinegar, it will be especially interesting to see her new dynamic with Dever, whose character also remains shrouded in mystery. With filming reportedly getting underway in the near future, it may not be long before a new look at the Godzilla x Kong sequel makes its way online.
