The upcoming installment in the MonsterVerse, building on the explosive clash between Kong and Godzilla in the 2021 film, has been receiving praise ahead of its release. Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire is expected to feature the two Titans uniting to confront a colossal, hidden threat, pushing their existence and humanity to the brink.
The film is set to hit the theatres soon and the studio has recently shared a brief clip of a fight between the two giants. Fans love the interaction between the giants in the clip, as Kong failed to convey the gravity of the situation to his former adversary.
Kong And Godzilla to Have a Rematch in The New Empire
The 2021 film Godzilla vs. Kong concludes with the Titans calling a truce as Godzilla returns to the ocean, while Kong is free to return to the Hollow Earth. Although the upcoming film is expected to unite them, it is also evident their alliance won’t come easily, with at least one clash anticipated.
Their dual has also been highlighted in the trailer of the film, with glimpses of Godzilla attacking Kong with his atomic breath. And a new clip from the upcoming film Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire suggests that they would once again go against each other.
The brief clip features Rebecca Hall’s Dr. Andrews in the Hollow Earth alongside Kaylee Hottle’s Jia, who asks Kong for help. Subsequently, Kong ascends to the surface, seemingly intending to bring Godzilla along with him. However, upon meeting the Titan, Kong’s attempt to explain the situation is met with aggression.
As Kong tries to communicate the situation, Godzilla remains unmoved, initiating an attack. This brief but intense sequence has quickly become a fan favorite, with enthusiasts sharing their excitement for the impending showdown.

Fans have taken to social media X (Twitter) to share some enthusiastic and hilarious reactions to the clip of Kong and Godzilla’s fight in the upcoming film. One fan pointed out how Kong’s earnest attempt to prove his innocence in the troubling situation was met with hostility from Godzilla.
Kong literally couldn’t make it any more obvious that he’s not responsible for whatever is happening and Godzilla is just too much of a hater to care I respect the commitment https://t.co/6KzKsVziRs

I feel like it’s a thing where Godzilla is like I told you not to come back up to the surface and Kong is explaining how or why he’s up there

That's just their dynamic for now. I imagine it'll change the more the monsterverse goes on and it'll be slicks godzilla and kongs dynamic
