He added, “Working with our partners at Legendary, we enjoyed tremendous creative and commercial success with Godzilla. It’s great to be able to revisit these characters and help create a franchise with so many creative possibilities for filmmakers. Fans love these big, globally iconic films and it doesn’t get any bigger than this.”
According to Deadline, the postponement of Godzilla 2 is so it wouldn’t have to compete with the sixth Transformers film. Their report also included information that Warner Bros. has planned an “event film” for Christmas 2018.
