Guillermo del Toro Gómez (Spanish: [ɡiˈʝeɾmo ðelˈtoɾo]; born 9 October 1964) is a Mexican filmmaker, author, and artist. His work has been characterized by a strong connection to fairy tales, gothicism, and horror, often blending the genres to infuse visual or poetic beauty into the grotesque. He has had a lifelong fascination with monsters, which he considers symbols of great power. He is known for pioneering dark fantasy in the film industry and using insectile and religious imagery, his themes of Catholicism, and celebrating imperfection, underworld motifs, practical special effects, and dominant amber lighting. Throughout his career, del Toro has shifted between Spanish-language films—such as Cronos (1993), The Devil's Backbone (2001), and Pan's Labyrinth (2006)—and English-language films, including Mimic (1997), Blade II (2002), Hellboy (2004) and its sequel Hellboy II: The Golden Army(2008), Pacific Rim (2013), Crimson Peak (2015), The Shape of Water (2017), Nightmare Alley (2021), and Pinocchio (2022). As a producer or writer, he worked on the films The Orphanage (2007), Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (2010), The Hobbit film series (2012–2014), Mama (2013), The Book of Life (2014), Pacific Rim: Uprising (2018), Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark (2019), and The Witches (2020). In 2022, he created the Netflix anthology horror series Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities, featuring a collection of classical horror stories. With Chuck Hogan, he co-authored The Strain trilogy of novels (2009–2011), which was later adapted into a comic book series (2011–15) and a live-action television series (2014–17). With DreamWorks Animation and Netflix, he created the animated franchise Tales of Arcadia, which includes the series Trollhunters (2016–18), 3Below (2018–19), and Wizards (2020) and the sequel film Trollhunters: Rise of the Titans (2021). Del Toro is close friends with fellow Mexican filmmakers Alfonso Cuarón and Alejandro G. Iñárritu, collectively known as "The Three Amigos of Mexican Cinema". He has received several awards, including three Academy Awards, three BAFTA Awards, two Golden Globe Awards, a Daytime Emmy Award, and a Golden Lion. He was included in Time magazine's list of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2018, and he received a motion picture star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2019.
The movie would have a higher budget than the previous installments of the Netflix Monsterverse series. This will also be Bryan Cranston's last performance for this series, as he will be going on to do other projects. It's been one year since Godzilla was last seen defending San Fran from Ghidorah and teaming up with Mothra, who is still out there watching over. Dr. Michael Lore, still dealing with the aftermath of S.F., has been feeling down lately. He still misses his daughter, Chloe, who is now living with her girlfriend Madison Weaver. Focusing back to Godzilla, something doesn't feel right with him. He's been destroying cities lately, with eyewitnesses saying that his eye color has been changed to an orange to red like color. However, back on Skull Island, a scientist and a deaf little girl have bonded with Kong with the use of sign language. Hearing that Godzilla has gone rogue, Kong believes that Godzilla is the enemy and they begin to fight. Some of the story elements would become a little messy, but there would be scenes where Godzilla and King Kong fight each other in Tokyo while the remaining people have to get to safety to stay away from the fight. Dr. Lore would sacrifice himself to save the little deaf girl, Jia, from being crushed by rubble, and Serizawa befriending Jia and Dr. Andrews in the end. Godzilla and Kong have a mutual agreement and part ways.
