Millie Brady (Surface, The Last Kingdom) and Pilou Asbæk (Foundation) have joined the cast of Apple TV’s upcoming Legendary Monsterverse series. They will star alongside previously announced lead Wyatt Russell, who is reprising his role as a younger Lee Shaw — the character he first played in Monarch: Legacy of Monsters. Casting details for Brady and Asbæk remain under wraps.
Additionally, JD Dillard (Devotion, The Outside) will direct the pilot episode of the as-yet-untitled series.
From showrunner Joby Harold, the series will follow the story of Colonel Lee Shaw (Russell), an American operative who, in 1984, went on a secret mission behind enemy lines in an attempt to stop the Soviets from unleashing a horrific new Titan big enough to destroy the U.S. and turn the tide of the Cold War.
Russell’s father, Kurt Russell, plays the older Lee Shaw in Monarch: Legacy of Monsters.
Legendary’s Monsterverse is an expansive cross-platform story universe centered around humanity’s battle to survive in a world facing a catastrophic new reality – the monsters of myths and legends are real. Beginning with the Godzilla film in 2014 and continuing through 2017’s Kong: Skull Island, 2019’s Godzilla: King of the Monsters, 2021’s Godzilla vs. Kong, and most recently Godzilla x Kong>: The New EmpireGodzilla x Kong: Supernova, which is set to release in 2027.
