Kyle Chandler is starring in Godzilla: King of the Monsters. Chandler expressed how he enjoyed the challenge that comes with extensive green screen work, said:

I mean, you know a big film like this, there’s the challenge of all the green screen, which I did in King Kong, but this is more extensive. And the deal with that is it’s fun because a lot of people say ‘Isn’t that hard, because there’s nothing there?’ But the fact is everything’s there, and it’s yours. You’re creating what’s there and that’s sort of enjoyable. And when you’re working with it, or running through it or jumping over it, it doesn’t matter what you see or what is. They put something there for you so it’s sorta fun to jump over something and wonder ‘I wonder what I’m gonna see in the film. The idea of this will be international, so for me as an actor that’s something new as well. To be seen by crowds I haven’t been seen by before, so that’s a good positive right there.

In Godzilla: King of the Monsters, Kyle Chandler will play Dr. Mark Russell. An animal behavior specialist and the father of Millie Bobby Brown’s Madison, he’ll play an instrumental role in understanding the massive monsters that occupy the blockbuster. And there’s going to be plenty of them.
