After facing off against one another in Godzilla vs Kong, the two mighty Titans will have to join forces to face an even greater threat in the sequel. Warner Bros. dropped a new teaser poster for Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire at CCXP in Brazil, which teases the new Titan in a blood-smeared handprint channelling his best Wilson.
Hot on the heels of the poster, the first trailer for Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire is expected to drop this weekend, so keep an eye out for that as well! As a big fan of the MonsterVerse franchise, I can’t wait to see what craziness we have in store for us this time.
Godzilla vs Kong director Adam Wingard has returned to helm the new sequel from a screenplay by Simon Barrett. The film features a returning cast led by Rebecca Hall as Dr. Ilene Andrews, Brian Tyree Henry as Bernie Hayes, and Kaylee Hottle as Jia. New additions to the sequel include Dan Stevens, Fala Chen, and Rachel House.
“This latest entry follows up the explosive showdown of Godzilla vs. Kong with an all-new cinematic adventure, pitting the almighty Kong and the fearsome Godzilla against a colossal undiscovered threat hidden within our world, challenging their very existence – and our own,” reads the official synopsis. “The epic new film will delve further into the histories of these Titans, their origins and the mysteries of Skull Island and beyond, while uncovering the mythic battle that helped forge these extraordinary beings and tied them to humankind forever.“
While fans wait for the release of Godzilla x Kong, they’ve got Monarch: Legacy of Monsters to enjoy. The Apple TV+ series debuted earlier this month and spans three generations as it reveals buried secrets and the ways that epic, earth-shattering events can reverberate through our lives.
