Godzilla 2 release date to be delayed? It has already been confirmed that the sequel to the box office hit reboot is a go, but the return of the King of Daikaiju may be pushed from the original plan.

Following the announcement of "Godzilla" director Gareth Edwards returning for two more films, he has also been tapped to helm the spin off movie of Star Wars that is due out on Dec. 16, 2016.

"Ever since I saw Star Wars I knew exactly what I wanted to do for the rest of my life - join the Rebel Alliance! I could not be more excited and honored to go on this mission with Lucasfilm," Edwards said in a statement.

Edwards has been very open about his dreams of directing a Star Wars movie and now that he's actually going to work on one, rumors soon circulating that he'll have to push Godzilla 2 release date to accommodate the filming of Star Wars spin off.

However, Legendary Pictures' CEO Thomas Tull is confident that Edwards' new film will not in any way affect Gozilla sequels.

"Gareth's filmmaking talent makes him one of his generation's most creative and visionary directors. The plan has always been for Gareth to direct a different film before we started on another Godzilla, but who knew it would be a Star Wars installment? We have a great plan in store for Godzilla fans and I am looking forward to seeing Gareth's imprint on the Star Wars universe."

While "Godzilla" received mixed reviews from critics and viewers alike, the box office success the film gained, and still gaining from international viewers can't be undermined.

In fact, the King of Daikaiju is still dominating the box office in Asia, particularly in Mainland China.
