We all knew a Wanda pick was gonna happen sooner or later lol, but this is a GREAT choice. She was absolutely fantastic in Memoirs of a Geisha. The cast for this film is stellar. Hopefully it's not wasted.

Everything I've seen so far seems to hint at a more developed cast of characters this time around. There's a lot of recognizable faces even in what appear to be smaller roles. Then again G14 had several heavy hitters in the cast so it's no guarantee but I have a good feeling about this one.

I'm liking what I'm hearing. She apparently signed a multi-film deal, so this would be the first inkling of confirmation of some KOTM cast crossing over into GvK

I'd like Ken Watanabe to continue on as well...even if the fate of Serizawa as it relates to Godzilla probably won't be allowed to play out in this new franchise that is likely expected to continue on for many films.

I won't be surprised at all if several Monarch characters end up appearing in GvK as well.

Well, there's Wanda's Chinese pick, but no complaints from me, she's an excellent actress.
Why do I get the strange feeling she'll be playing the Monsterverse equivalent of Miki Saegusa, considering she'll be in more films.

She's been one of my favorite actresses for years. I'm very happy to see her in a Godzilla movie.

This is funny. Haven't heard a word about her since Memoirs of a Geisha, then all of a sudden, welcome back to America, Zhang Ziyi. Talk about Flashback Friday. Really takes me back to Rush Hour 2 and Hero.

And did I hear correctly that Charles Dance was cast?

I have no idea, but I would agree it's "strange" considering we already know she will be an important member of Monarch and that there's no reason to believe psychic powers and dumb crap like that will be included in this movie.

I don't think I follow the jump in logic. She's a reoccurring character, so that means she's a Miki equivalent?

Or you know, just a reoccurring character. That's a thing sequels do.
I can't believe that Godzilla was the only surviving member of its species, but if we continue conducting nuclear tests, it's possible that another Godzilla might appear somewhere in the world again.

Between Zhang, Dance, Chandler, Hawkins, and Watanabe, I'm very happy with the cast KotM has landed.
Dare I say I actually like it better than the cast of Skull Island, which was already very good in my opinion.

So heres a little something on IMDB. Not so much the actor, but what he's playing as...

Name by Mitch Craft is playing "Ancient Temple Guard". I suspect we should start seeing small actors fill IMDB now & give us a small idea on the plot.

Sounds like someone's retaining their "monster that's worshipped" status. Probably Mothra.

I mean, this was basically confirmed with the KSI end credits and all.
