The last “Monsterverse” film had Godzilla and King Kong fighting each other before taking on Mecha-Godzilla, and now the two are teaming up again to go up against an evil giant red monkey.
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire is set to release next month, and we have a new trailer showcasing the two forces of nature back to defend the Earth. Watch this:
The movie wasn’t able to bring back everyone that was in Godzilla vs. Kong, but the cast is a mix of familiar faces as well as some new characters.
Admittedly, the human characters have always been the weaker element of these Monsterverse films, but that shouldn’t keep everyone from enjoying the simple idea of gigantic monsters exchanging blows with one another in the middle of huge structures.
We don’t know how far along Legendary plans to keep this Monsterverse running, but with WB holding back on several iconic TOHO kaiju, it’s likely we’re going to be getting a handful of these films in the next few years.
Here’s the official description for the film:
The epic battle continues! Legendary Pictures’ cinematic Monsterverse follows up 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 very existence—and our own. “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire” delves further into the histories of these Titans and their origins, as well as the mysteries of Skull Island and beyond, while uncovering the mythic battle that helped forge these extraordinary beings and tied them to humankind forever.
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire comes to cinemas on March 29.
