Multiple sources are reporting that Academy Award-nominee Vera Farmiga has signed on for a major role in Legendary's upcoming Godzilla sequel, Godzilla: King of the Monsters, which will be the third installment in the studio's burgeoning MonsterVerse.

She joins a cast that currently features Millie Bobby Brown (Stranger Things), who signed on in late January, and Kyle Chandler (Manchester By The Sea), who was cast just last week as the father of Brown's character. Farmiga will play the matriarch of the family.

Plot details are being kept under wraps, but The Hollywood Reporter's story adds that Chandler's character will be the film's lead protagonist, playing the role of a scientist.

Michael Dougherty (Krampus) is helming the piece with a script he co-wrote alongside longtime collaborator Zach Shields (Krampus).

Farmiga is likely best known to audiences for her work in The Conjuring film series where she stars as Lorraine Warren. Her other film work includes acclaimed turns in The Departed, Up In The Air (for which she earned an Academy Award nomination & a Golden Globe nomination), Source Code, Running Scared, Safe House, and The Judge. She currently stars on the hit A&E psychological/horror drama Bates Motel as Norma Bates (a role that earned her a Primetime Emmy nomination in 2013), which is in its fifth and final season.

So, what do you guys think? Sound off with your thoughts below!

@TheNewGuy123 - hahaha yeah I had that in mind reading these comments.

Guarantee I've seen it before anyways. She's one of the few older ladies I would consider adorable. Like she's not just beautiful or sexy, she's cute, like a little schoolgirl (18+, I'm no pedo fam) in a grown woman's body.

CurlyBill - 2/27/2017, 1:42 PM

She is one good looking women.

Binker - 2/27/2017, 1:49 PM

@CurlyBill - Woman. Women means more than one. Sorry to do that.

CurlyBill - 2/27/2017, 2:04 PM

@Binker - dumb mistake on my part, thinks for catching that.

MUTO123 - 2/27/2017, 1:42 PM

She's fantastic. Let's hope she doesn't go the way of Juliette Binoche in the first movie.

EZBeast - 2/27/2017, 2:05 PM

@TheNewGuy123 - I remember her being hot in the departed but I was too young to truly appreciate her. What would you recommend her from?

MUTO123 - 2/27/2017, 2:08 PM

@MrNegative - Up in the Air, the Conjuring movies, Source Code, Bates Motel (there's probably some other stuff listed in the article that I haven't seen).

MUTO123 - 2/27/2017, 2:19 PM

@MrNegative - Someone below just pointed out Boy in the Striped Pajamas. That's another good one.

Lostcause - 2/27/2017, 3:30 PM

@MrNegative - Hands down....2006 Running Scared with Paul Walker(his best film bu the way)

NinnesMBC - 2/27/2017, 1:46 PM

Kyle Chandler. Millie Bobby Brown and now this lady. Good cast.

Kevwebsz - 2/27/2017, 1:49 PM

Who...Cares. The people don't matter because its like "Just take a camera and focus on these random people :D" People are only going for the monsters.

Kyos - 2/27/2017, 1:50 PM

That's one nicely cast movie family!

EZBeast - 2/27/2017, 2:07 PM

Nice! Okay now give us confirmation that ken watanabe will be back and one A-list actor and we should be good to go.

GhostDog - 2/27/2017, 2:15 PM

I've always had a crush on her. Hell of an actress too. Great on Bates Motel.

TheBeard - 2/27/2017, 2:18 PM
