Trivia
- In 2013, Peter Jackson approached Adam Wingard with an offer to direct a sequel to his 2005 King Kong remake called Skull Island, written by Simon Barrett and produced by Mary Parent.[4] According to Wingard, the film was never made because it "was set up at Universal, and the King Kong rights somehow ended up at Warner Bros." Parent would go on to produce Godzilla vs. Kong and Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, while Barrett would co-write the latter.
- In a since-deleted tweet, Wingard named the original Godzilla, Godzilla vs. Hedorah, Invasion of Astro-Monster, Destroy All Monsters, and Godzilla vs. Destoroyah as his top five Godzilla films.[5]
- Wingard reiterated his love for Godzilla vs. Hedorah and Godzilla vs. Destoroyah in an interview for the Japanese magazine Eiga Hiho, adding that he dislikes TriStar Pictures' GODZILLA.[6]
- Adam Wingard is the only Monsterverse director to have directed more than one film in the series.
- Adam Wingard stated in a 2024 IGN Fan Fest interview that his favorite color is pink, and that he would have pink fairy lights up in rooms he was in.[7] His color preference would also play a role in the design for Godzilla's Evolved form in Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire.[7]
