Maybe what the world needs right now is to see big monsters punch each other in the head. At least that’s what Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures are betting on.
After the film being delayed three times already, the studios have now released a trailer in advance of the March 26 premiere date for this fourth entry in the Monsterverse. The premise:
Legends collide in Godzilla vs. Kong as these mythic adversaries meet in a spectacular battle for the ages, with the fate of the world hanging in the balance. Kong and his protectors undertake a perilous journey to find his true home, and with them is Jia, a young orphaned girl with whom he has formed a unique and powerful bond. But they unexpectedly find themselves in the path of an enraged Godzilla, cutting a swath of destruction across the globe. The epic clash between the two titans—instigated by unseen forces—is only the beginning of the mystery that lies deep within the core of the Earth.
When last we left Godzilla, he was one of the good guys—protecting the puny humans from big bads such as Mothra, Rodan, and King Ghidorah. What pits the King of the Monsters against Kong is unknown, but does it really matter?
Adam Wingard (The Guest, You’re Next) directed from a screenplay by Eric Pearson (Thor: Ragnarok) and Max Borenstein (Godzilla: King of the Monsters, Kong: Skull Island) and story by Terry Rossio (Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales) and Michael Dougherty and Zach Shields (Godzilla: King of the Monsters).
