Whereas the first draw of the MonsterVerse movies is clearly to scrutinize towering Titans war every different, the reality of the matter is human characters are wished to serve anchor the tales. One in every of these characters was Alexander Skarsgard’s Dr. Nathan Lind, who seemed in Godzilla vs. Kong (which which you’ll entry with a Max subscription). However Skarsgard ended up getting grand of his position minimize down, though he did come by a substantial point about that constructing while reflecting on his time within the MonsterVerse.
Sooner than his original Apple TV+ subscription-uncommon series Murderbot premiering on the 2025 TV agenda next month, Skarsgard sat down for an interview with Empire (by map of Comicbook), and Godzilla vs. Kong got right here up. The actor confirmed that Nathan Lind was purported to have extra scenes within the fourth MonsterVerse movie, saying:
There was definitely extra of a backstory, extra character-pushed scenes that ended up on the reducing-room ground. However within the occasion you join to care for out a movie esteem Godzilla vs. Kong, there are handiest two stars in that movie. And you’re no longer regarded as one of them.
Nathan Lind, a inclined Monarch geologist, entered the Godzilla vs. Kong characterize with Apex Cybernetics CEO Walter Simmons recruited him for a mission to trot into Hollow Earth to search out a secret energy provide. Nathan was chiefly paired with Rebecca Hall’s Dr. Ilene Andrews, and the two managed to come by it out of these chaotic events alive. However Nathan hasn’t been viewed since, and it doesn’t sound esteem there are any plans to lift him aid.
Alexander Skarsgard doesn’t sound too broken up about this, though. He’s wisely aware of us were seeing Godzilla vs. Kong to scrutinize the title monsters alternate blows with every different, and the crew-as much as lift down Mechagodzilla was bonus. Nathan Lind could well also were regarded as one of the most leading human characters, nonetheless he’s there completely in carrier to Godzilla and Kong. So if some of his scenes could well also gentle be minimize to come by them shine even brighter, that’s occurring. The actor also described his collaborative course of with director Adam Wingard thusly:
Adam Wingard, the director, and I, can mess round and advance up with queer quirky shit, and add layers of character work. However at the discontinuance of the day, if they’re gonna minimize down the movie, Skarsgard will discontinuance up on the bottom, no longer Godzilla or Kong. So I completely come by it, and, you know, the movie works. It didn’t need extra Skarsgärd.
Thus a ways, no actor within the MonsterVerse movie series has seemed in bigger than two movies, and while I’d esteem that to commerce at some point, over again, the Titans are the precedence. On the opposite hand, within the occasion you’re attempting to search out a substantial character-pushed epic in this franchise, I counsel observing the show conceal Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, which is returning for a 2nd season and will seemingly be learned on Apple TV+. You’ll gentle come by to witness Godzilla and various different Titans, nonetheless right here, the humans are factual as critical to the parable being urged.
Next up on the MonsterVerse cinematic front is the yet-to-be-titled sequel to Godzilla x Kong: The Fresh Empire. Kaitlyn Dever, Dan Stevens (reprising Trapper), Jack O’Connell, Delroy Lindo, Matthew Modine and Alycia Debnam-Carey famous particular person in this Grant Sputore-directed feature coming out on March 26, 2027.
