With the success of the 2014 Godzilla film and the continuing success of Kong: Skull Island, the studios want to start the ball rolling on this epic slug fest. So they have also announced a director for the feature set for release in 2020. The Hollywood Reporter got the exclusive news that You’re Next director Adam Wingard would be helming the film. Wingard most recently directed a reboot of Blair Witch and the Death Note adaptation for Netflix.

The next outing for Godzilla will be the sequel Godzilla: King of the Monsters which is currently in production.  Godzilla vs Kong is scheduled for release May 22, 2020.
