Tokyo Comic Con kicked off this weekend and Godzilla: King of the Monsters director Michael Dougherty was present for the film's panel. The event revealed plenty of new images and S.H. MonsterArts' line-up for the upcoming film.
Additionally, Dougherty spoke of the changes to Godzilla's design.
"These spikes come from the 1954 version. And I made his feet a little bit bigger--He needed bigger claws. Godzilla's spikes are his crown, so they needed to be big."
Many of the adjustments Dougherty made were lead complaints over the design in 2014. ("Elephant feet" and small spikes.) Also check out the new Rodan, Mothra & King Ghidorah designs via S.H. MonsterArts upcoming figures!
Here's a comparison photo of the 2014 S.H. MonsterArts Godzilla with the 2019 figure:
Godzilla: King of the Monsters stars Kyle Chandler (Super 8, Friday Night Lights), Vera Farmiga (The Departed), Millie Bobby Brown (Stranger Things), O'Shea Jackson (Straight Outta Compton), Aisha Hinds (If I Stay), Anthony Ramos (Hamilton), Charles Dance (Game of Thrones), Randy Havens (Stranger Things), Ken Watanabe, (Godzilla), Sally Hawkins (Godzilla), Thomas Middleditch (Silicon Valley), Bradley Whitford (Get Out, West Wing) and Zhang Ziyi (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon). The film will be directed by Michael Dougherty from his screenplay co-written by Zach Shields. Alex Garcia is producing.
The film bows May 31st, 2019.
