Legendary On Track To Shoot Fifth Monsterverse Installment In Australia This Year
News rolled out over the weekend and was later confirmed via trade reports on Monday the greenlight of a fifth Monsterverse installation from Legendary Pictures. Plot details are unknown about the film which will otherwise shoot later this year in locations across the Gold Coast and the southeast, as announced by State Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk.
Screen Queensland reports the film will deliver an economic boost of A$79.2M ($58.6M) to the region and create 505 jobs for local cast and crew, plus opportunities for 750 extras.

The film will undoubtedly follow-up the vision explored in Adam Wingard’s 2021 hit Godzilla VS Kong, in which our two gargantuan creatures clash in a super-sized rivalry, spawned by a man-driven conspiracy that results in an epic three-way battle with cataclysmic results. The film is a more refined improvement on its predecessors pertaining to the balance of both featured human and creature characters, certainly handling its fan service well enough to warrant some ceremony.
The news also comes just as AppleTV+ is now par for the course with Titans, developing a series attributed to the Monsterverse, so this is probably a fun time to get into what WB and Legendary have happening.
