There is a new trailer for Godzilla x Kong: The New Empirewill hit theaters next month.
Warner Bros. has released a new trailer for Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, directed by Adam Wingard. It is the fifth feature film in the rebooted franchise, which also includes the animated series. skull island and Apple TV+ Monarch: Legacy of Monsters.
(Spoilers for Godzilla vs. Kong below.)
As previously reported, Godzilla x Kong picks up sometime after its 2021 predecessor. Godzilla vs. Kong showed not only a major showdown between its titular titans, in which Godzilla emerged victorious, but also the two teaming up in the climactic finale to eliminate Mechagodzilla, a telepathically controlled creature with Ghidorah’s severed head. Ghidorah’s consciousness took over when Mechagodzilla activated, and it took both Kong and Godzilla (plus some timely help from humans) to defeat him. (Kong got final honors, although Godzilla charged the murderous axe, made from one of his dorsal plates, with his atomic breath.)
Wingard has the distinction of being the only Monsterverse director to make two films in the franchise. “As soon as the (last) movie came out and audiences started watching it, I thought, ‘You can’t separate these two guys again.'” Wingard told IGN. “It’s too exciting to have them in one movie.” Godzilla x Kong develops the monsters’ relationship a bit more by having them team up again to eliminate a common enemy. Rebecca Hall, Brian Tyree Henry and Kaylee Hottle reprise their 2021 roles as Dr. Ilene Andrews, Bernie Hayes and Andrews’ adopted daughter Jia. Dan Stevens joins the cast as a new character named Trapper. The cast also includes Fala Chen, Alex Ferns and Rachel House.
According to the official premise:
Legendary Pictures’ Monsterverse motion picture continues the explosive showdown of “Godzilla vs. Kong” with an all-new adventure that pits the almighty Kong and the fearsome Godzilla against a colossal undiscovered threat hidden within our world, challenging their own existence and ours. . “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire” delves into the stories of these Titans and their origins, as well as the mysteries of Skull Island and beyond, as you uncover the mythical battle that helped forge these extraordinary beings and brought them together. humanity forever.
The first trailer was released in December during CCXP in Sao Paulo, Brazil. “For centuries, there was harmony,” a voiceover intones at the beginning of the new trailer. “The titans were the guardians of nature and the great apes became the guardians of humanity.” Worried, Jia thinks there might be something wrong with her. But the seismic data reveals a signal, and that’s what Jia is feeling. Kong and Godzilla can sense it too. “Something is coming. Something even they fear.” This leads to a visit to Kong’s kingdom, where the humans discover that the signal is actually a call to war. There’s another great red ape in town and he’s targeting Kong.
Kong needs help and his enemy Godzilla is just the titan he needs. Sure, the last time they met, they had a big fight and “it was almost the end of Kong.” But these are extenuating circumstances: “You don’t have to like each other. You just have to work together.” We take a closer look at Kong’s impressive new power glove (in addition to his trusty ax from the previous film), the result of some “minor augmentations” to level the playing field a bit. And of course, there are plenty of explosions and property damage, as well as plenty of powerful roars—pretty much everything you’d expect from a Godzilla movie.
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire hits theaters on March 29, 2024.
