Godzilla lost his main man today.
Deadline has reported that director Gareth Edwards will not be coming back to direct the sequel to his 2014 "Godzilla" reboot. Sources told Deadline that the split was mutual one and that Edwards and Legendary had already agreed to him stepping out of the film's production before the readjusted release dates that were confirmed earlier this week. Warner Bros. and Legendary are now currently looking for a replacement director as the film approaches its May 20, 2020 release date.
As a massive Godzilla fan, Gareth Edwards' departure is quite sad. Say what you will about the film, I believe that Edwards' vision and love for the character was pure and undeniable, making it very sad to see him go. It was nice to see a true Godzilla fan direct a Godzilla film. Hopefully his replacement will be equally as passionate and in love with the character as much as Edwards was.
Bye, Gareth Edwards. Your presence in the new Godzilla franchise will be missed.
"Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" comes out later this year. Go support Edwards' film!
