Godzilla and Kong Have a Rematch in a New Clip From Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire
2021’s Godzilla vs. Kong pitted the two monsters against each other and their epic showdown in the final 30 minutes of the film was breathtaking to watch.

The two are coming together again for this year’s Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire.

Aren't they supposed to team up? I'm guessing this scene will happen in the beginning of the film. pic.twitter.com/zLmBo7ZZks

Adam Wingard Hails Godzilla Minus One As One of the Best Kaiju Films Ever Made
Godzilla Minus One created a big impact in Hollywood last year as the film managed to bring a new perspective to the popular Kaiju franchise. It presented an epic Godzilla film along with some thought-provoking themes and emotional pathos for the human characters. Many people in the industry have heaped praises on the film and recently Adam Wingard also shared his thoughts on the film.
Wingard, who is directing the upcoming Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire lauded the film and called it one of the best Godzilla films ever made. He pointed out how the film’s tone is different from his film and the metaphorical connection between Godzilla and the human characters. He said, (via Comicbook.com)
“It was fantastic. It’s one of the best Godzilla movies I’ve ever seen. Their take on Godzilla is so different than mine. I’m following the later ’60s, ’70s Showa pattern, where Godzilla is the hero character. In Minus One, Godzilla reacts in a way that’s metaphorical to what the characters are going through. It’s such a different movie than ours tonally”
2023’s Monarch: Legacy of Monsters similarly dived deep into the lore of Godzilla and surrounded him with characters that one cares about and have emotional stakes in the story. Wingard is set to bring another epic and entertaining film with Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. The film starring Rebecca Hall, Brian Tyree Henry, and Dan Stevens releases in theaters on March 29, 2024.
