Adam Wingard‘s new film from A24, Onslaught, just got a big update from the Hollywood Reporter: Rebecca Hall has joined the film’s cast. Hall has worked with Wingard twice before starring as Dr. Ilene Andrews in both Godzilla vs. Kong and its followup, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, which was one of the biggest movies of last summer. The actor will also be rejoining her Godzilla x Kong costar Dan Stevens in the film, which is currently in production. Stevens also starred in Wingard‘s 2014 thriller The Guest.
There haven’t been many details released about the plot of Onslaught, and even less is known about the film’s characters. The story will center around a secret military base that is home to monstrous experiments and secrets. The film’s protagonist is portrayed by Adria Arjona, who is known for her performance as Bix Caleen in the Star Wars series Andor. In Onslaught, Arjona will be playing a mother who must fall back on old skills to protect her loved ones after a mysterious threat escapes the military base. Stevens will be playing a German scientist associated with the military base, and it is rumored that Hall‘s and Stevens‘ characters will be connected.
The ‘Godzilla x Kong’ Team Work Well Together
For both Rebecca Hall and Dan Stevens, Onslaught will be their third time working with director Adam Wingard. All three of them teamed up on last year’s Godzilla x Kong, which went on to be not only in the top ten highest-grossing films of the year, but also the highest-grossing Godzilla movie of all time. Seeing the three team up again for Onslaught, along with the addition of Arjona as the film’s lead, bodes well for the upcoming action flick.
Rebecca Hall‘s new film, Peter Hujar’s Day, is currently being screened at the Sundance Film Festival to excellent reviews. There is no word on if she or Stevens will return for the next MonsterVerse film, but it was recently announced that Kaitlyn Dever will be starring in the film, which is planned to release March 26, 2027.
