Director Matt Shakman comments on the casting of Kurt Russell and his son, Wyatt Russell, in the upcoming Monarch: Legacy of Monsters show.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Matt Shakman, executive producer and director of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, addresses the casting of Kurt Russell and his son, Wyatt Russell, as the same character in the upcoming series. Set to release on Apple TV Plus next month, Monarch: Legacy of Monsters takes place after the events of 2014's Godzilla, following two siblings who uncover secrets about the mysterious organization known as Monarch.
"Certainly, we discussed two different actors. I think that's the usual approach to things. But we had this idea that Kurt Russell and Wyatt Russell, who are often, I think, offered things as father and son, but I don't think they'd ever been offered the same part to play in two different time periods.
"Also, it's such a unique fit because Kurt Russell stars in all the movies I love, and since I was a kid, I've been watching him on screen. The idea of Kurt Russell plus Godzilla just feels absolutely, 100% right. He occupies the same awesome space. Then the fact that Wyatt could work so beautifully as the young version of that same character, it just was serendipity, you know, things that we couldn't have planned that the fates made possible for us.
