Madison Russell played by Millie Bobby Brown recently revealed that her character Madison becomes a badass in Godzilla vs Kong.
In Godzilla: King of the Monsters, Madison Russell was the daughter of Dr. Emma Russell, a renegade scientist who was responsible for releasing King Ghidorah from his cryogenic sleep out of some twisted idea of balancing nature’s relationship with humanity. Upon learning of her mother’s true intentions, Madison turned against her and was instrumental in leading Godzilla to King Ghidorah for their final fight.
While Godzilla is too much of a force of nature to form a bond with a single human, it did have a semblance of a partnership with Madison. According to Millie Bobby Brown, that relationship is now more about Madison uncovering the history of the giant lizard and how it came to be. Godzilla vs Kong will finally pit the two cinematic icons against one another as humanity hangs in the balance, After three previous installments in Legendary’s Monster Verse franchise.
Previous Godzilla movies have generally treated the legendary monster as something that just is, the MonsterVerse has attempted to set up a backstory for all the different monsters aka kaiju. From what we know so far, Godzilla and Kong belong to a race of superpredators that existed on the surface millions of years ago and lived alongside humanity.
But something then happened, possibly the arrival of the alien King Ghidorah, that drove the monsters underground into a series of interconnected giant tunnels that the kaiju have used to move around the world, or simply hibernate, ever since. It now remains to be seen what new information Madison uncovers in Godzilla vs Kong about the nature of Godzilla’s existence and its connection to Kong.
Bringing back familiar faces such as Madison for Godzilla vs. Kong is a great way to make the movie’s extended universe feel more connected.
The New Badass Version Of Millie Bobby Brown
During the shooting of Godzilla vs Kong, Collider had a conversation with Netflix’s star Millie Bobby Brown. During the interview, Millie discussed her character.
She said
“Five years have gone by and Madison has grown up. It’s definitely a coming-of-age story for her. Her storyline has definitely evolved greatly in the way she deals with things, her attitude towards life, how much stronger of a person. Really trying to follow in her mother’s footsteps as well as strength-wise she’s becoming more strong, more independent, and understanding what she needs to do. Five years are gone by and she’s basically a badass.”
Well, the new “badass” version of Brown’s character can be seen when Godzilla vs. Kong premieres in late March.
