Despite leading the charge for the franchise for the past two movies, Adam Wingard will officially not be returning for the Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire sequel.
The Hollywood Reporter has brought word that Wingard has stepped away from the Monsterverse and the planned Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire sequel. Though a surprising setback, sources report that the decision was an amicable one between the director and Legendary, stemming solely from scheduling conflicts as he plans to make his return to the indie action-horror genre. At the time of writing, no new director has entered talks or been reported as being eyed for the sequel, and further sources indicate the door is open for Wingard to return in the future.
