Adam Wingard calls Godzilla vs. Kong’s PG-13 rating an understatement

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

It was revealed earlier this week that Legendary's GODZILLA VS. KONG had landed a PG-13 rating for "intense sequences of creature violence/destruction and brief language," which was pretty much expected, but director Adam Wingard (YOU'RE NEXT) teased that the film may be pushing that rating to its limits.

In a post on Instagram, Adam Wingard responded to the news of GODZILLA VS. KONG's PG-13 by saying that it was "an understatement."

You heard it here first, folks – King Kong says, "f**k," just once though. As it seems that theaters may begin opening slowly at some point in the future, I'd imagine that Legendary Entertainment and Warner Bros. might be dropping the first trailer for the monster-mash before too long. Here's the official logline for GODZILLA VS. KONG: "In a time when monsters walk the Earth, humanity’s fight for its future sets Godzilla and Kong on a collision course that will see the two most powerful forces of nature on the planet collide in a spectacular battle for the ages. As Monarch embarks on a perilous mission into uncharted terrain and unearths clues to the Titans’ origins, a human conspiracy threatens to wipe the creatures, both good and bad, from the face of the earth forever." The film, which stars Millie Bobby Brown, Kyle Chandler, Alexander Skarsgard, Rebecca Hall, Brian Tyree Henry, Zhang Ziyi, Demian Bichir, and Julian Dennison, is currently slated for a November 20, 2020 release.
