Godzilla and King Kong are ready to fight each other and now they have got a referee too.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Adam Wingard, previously known for low-budget horror movies like 'You're Next' and 'The Guest,' has closed a deal to helm 'Godzilla vs. Kong,' Legendary Entertainment and Warner Bros.' teaming of two of the big screen's most popular movie monsters.
Adam Wingard confirmed the announcement by stating he's already prepared himself for those who will negatively judge his work on Godzilla vs. Kong before even seeing it.
He wrote, "Cue the tweets telling me I've already ruined Godzilla and Kong."
'Kong: Skull Island' director Jordan Vogt-Roberts also congratulated Adam Wingard on this achievement.
"So happy for @AdamWingard! I know he'll shepherd my & Gareth's visions of these monsters in his own dope way. Can't think of a better choice," he tweeted.
Earlier in March, 'Legendary' set a writers room to work on the script for the project, with Terry Rossio, the veteran best known for co-writing the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' movies as its head.
Other writers scribbling included the team of Patrick McKay and J.D. Payne ('Star Trek Beyond'), Lindsey Beer, Cat Vasko, 'Maze Runner' movies writer T.S. Nowlin, Jack Paglen ('Transcendence') and 'Babylon five' creator J. Michael Straczynski.
Plot details of the movie are being kept hidden. The movie is scheduled to be released on May 22, 2020.
