While talking about his new animated series at San Deigo Comic Con, SuperMansion, Bryan Cranston was prodded about whether his show's character would stick around longer than Joe Brody in Godzilla.
“Yeah,” Cranston laughed. “That won't take long! I was reading that script going, 'Wow here's the emotional core! This character-- And he's dead!' Whoa! Page 50 and he's dead! How did that happen?”
A major criticism against Godzilla '14 was how Cranston's Joe Brody was killed off before the second act. It was shocking considering how much he was pushed in the ads and also because he was arguably the film's strongest character. It seems that Cranston agrees it was a poor decision.
“I told them, I said, 'You're going to make a mistake by killing this character too soon.' It's just a narrative mistake to have this happen. And it's not me. Anybody else who played this character-- It's too much...”
Although he had more to say, Cranston decided to cut his thoughts short.
“Eh, it's a long story. Doesn't matter! Wait for Godzilla 2 to come out! I'm still dead.”
You can watch the interview with Cranston below. He starts talking about Godzilla around the three minute mark.
It's worth noting that there was no mention of Godzilla 2 during the SDCC Legendary Pictures panel. What little information has bled through points to a convicted cast and crew hoping to improve on the sequel. Lets hope Legendary pulls it off.
Directed by Gareth Edwards and written by Max Borenstein, Godzilla 2 will hit theaters June 8th, 2018.
