According to Variety, O'Shea Jackson Jr. is in talks for a key role, but no mention is made of his character's name of what part he'll play in the story.
Though none of the main cast members from the first film are expected to return, Ken Watanabe will reportedly be back as "let them fight" guy.
Godzilla: King of Monsters is set to stomp into theaters on March 22nd, 2019.
