Dougherty continues to describe Rodan’s character as a sidekick but more powerful than the king, Godzilla. Godzilla sequel will also expand on the monster’s atomic breath. The director, without spilling too many beans, unveiled that it strikes at a “very key moment.” The list of human characters includes Dr Emma Russell (Vera Farmiga), a scientist working for the beast-hunting organization Monarch, and her daughter Madison, who is portrayed by  Stranger Things  star Millie Bobby Brown. The pair is kidnapped by what Dougherty describes as “a mysterious organisation, with their own plans for the creatures.” [caption id=“attachment_4732781” align=“alignnone” width=“825”] Millie Bobby Brown (L), Vera Farmiga (R).
