'Godzilla vs. Kong' Cast List - See Who's Playing Who, Plus Meet the Actors!

The new movie Godzilla vs. Kong is out now and it features a great cast consisting of some fan favorite actors and some rising stars who you might not be familiar with just yet.

Only a few cast members from the previous Godzilla and King Kong movies have returned for this sequel, including Millie Bobby Brown and Kyle Chandler as father-daughter duo Madison and Mark Russell.

Here is the synopsis of Godzilla vs. Kong: “Kong and his protectors undertake a perilous journey to find his true home, and with them is Jia, a young orphaned girl with whom he has formed a unique and powerful bond. But they unexpectedly find themselves in the path of an enraged Godzilla, cutting a swath of destruction across the globe. The epic clash between the two titans—instigated by unseen forces—is only the beginning of the mystery that lies deep within the core of the Earth.”

The movie is now playing in theaters and it will be streaming on HBO Max through April 30.

Alexander Skarsgard Learned Sign Language to Communicate with His 'Godzilla vs. Kong' Co-Star

Alexander Skarsgard is learning a new language.

The actor revealed that he had picked up ASL while shooting his new movie Godzilla vs. Kong in an interview with Australian pop culture website Junkee on Thursday (March 25).

Newcomer Kaylee Hottle plays Jia, a young deaf girl who is able to speak with King Kong through sign language. Alexander shared that he learned American Sign Language in order to communicate with his co-star, who is deaf in real life.

“It’s her first movie,” Alexander said. “It’s fascinating how comfortable she is in front of the camera and how quickly she takes notes from the director Adam [Wingard]. He’ll explain something and she’ll be like, ‘Got it, got it.’ Then she’ll just do it and everyone’s like, ‘The f-ck… how did she?’”

“She’s so professional,” the actor continued. “There’s so much going on on her face, her expression, and the subtleties of that is fascinating to watch.”
