Godzilla vs Kong (2020) Production Crew/Cast Thread

[GodEmperorGabara]

Please keep all updates with the cast and crew of Godzilla vs Kong (2020) in this thread. If any sort of change occurs whether an actor gets announced, the director leaves, your catering service gets hired on, Idris Elba cancels the apocalypse again, etc. then please post that in here and here alone. I don't want to repeat myself or make any more crappy jokes.

[TheSecondComing]

As most know by now, anybody who finds crew info about Godzilla vs. Kong should post it here.
Things to know:
#1 - Names in bold mean that person has been #CONFIRMED by more than one source as working on GvK.
#2 - If a name isn't in bold, that doesn't mean that person isn't working on the movie, only that confirmation hasn't been located.
#3 - Names get added and deleted often, so keep checking for more!
#4 - This is a whiner free zone.

For more, try to find factual tidbits spliced into the last 100 pages or so of the main GvK thread. To recap:

It's crazy how long we waited for Godzilla 2 casting etc. to begin, and now this film suddenly has more names attached then G2 had for years. Glad it's coming together though and gotta trust Adam Wingard will give us something special. If Legendary goes out, they'll go out with a bang with this film.

[Maritonic]

Is Danai confirmed? I thought it was just speculation/discussion currently?

[Dr. Professor]

Is Danai confirmed? I thought it was just speculation/discussion currently?

She's still in early talks as far as I know.

[Moogabunga]

Is Danai confirmed? I thought it was just speculation/discussion currently?

Usually when the big trades report an actor/actress is "in talks", it's practically a guarantee they join the project. Obviously there are some examples to the contrary, but they are anomalies
