Kaitlyn Dever (Dopesick, Booksmart) is in negotiations to join the cast of the next installment in Legendary’s MonsterVerse franchise, Deadline reports.

The sequel to Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire “is described as a continuation of the franchise centering Godzilla, Kong and an assortment of other Titans.”

Deadline notes that, “Legendary is looking to build on its human characters and the first logical choice landed on Dever, whose star has been on the rise for some time. She now joins the franchise as it combines character-driven storytelling with its signature epic scale and Titan-clashing action in Sputore’s vision.”

Grant Sputore (I Am Mother) is directing the upcoming film. Dave Callaham (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse) penned the script.

Dever will next be seen in the second season of HBO’s The Last of Us, premiering in April.
