When HBO Max, Warner Bros., and Legendary Entertainment decided to develop a King Kong film in addition to the Godzilla sequel, an ultimate Godzilla and Kong crossover became obvious. Therefore, now, the upcoming Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire scheduled for March 29 release, is being set as the epic showdown.
Further, following the alleged reports from scooper Daniel Richtman, it has been revealed that Godzilla x Kong will reportedly have no post-credit scenes, much like its prequel. This particular report convinced fans on social media that the upcoming film will serve as the final movie in the trilogy that began with Godzilla (2014) followed by Godzilla vs. Kong (2021).
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire Will Reportedly Skip Post Credit Scenes
Serving the MonsterVerse with epic battles and gripping storylines, HBO Max, Warner Bros., and Legendary Entertainment together decided to make a major crossover between Godzilla and King Kong. Following the release of Godzilla in 2014, as the studios announced plans to develop a King Kong film in addition to the sequel, fans began hoping for an epic battle.
With Jordan Vogt-Roberts’ Kong: Skull Island releasing in 2017 and Michael Dougherty’s Godzilla: King of the Monsters hitting theatres in 2019, fans knew the goal was to lay the foundation for the two monsters to have a clash on the big screen. Finally, the wait ended with MonsterVerse releasing Godzilla vs. Kong in 2021. Releasing the two monsters to have a face-off, the film ended with both of them becoming kings of their respective domains.
Although this anticlimactic tie ended the 2021 movie with a bit of disappointment, it undoubtedly set the foundation for the upcoming movie Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, scheduled to release on March 29, 2024. In the upcoming film, Godzilla and Kong will return to finish their battle. But while fans wait until the kaiju epic hits the big screens, The Hollywood Handle teased nail-biting revelations corroborating reports from industry insider Daniel Richtman.

According to the scooper, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire will reportedly skip post-credit scenes. Much like the 2021 hit Godzilla vs. Kong, even the upcoming movie will not feature any sort of post-credit scene that might tease further sequels. Only this time fans seem convinced after the scooper report, that the upcoming movie will actually mark the end of the trilogy.
Fans are Convinced Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire is a Trilogy
Although Godzilla vs. Kong previously skipped post-credit scenes to maintain the excitement and anticipation surrounding who would win, between Godzilla and Kong; Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire appears to be skipping post-credits because there won’t be any further sequels. Convinced after the alleged reports, that the 2024 movie will mark the end of the trilogy, fans came up with reasons why Godzilla x Kong is the showdown.
Claiming that there can’t be bigger threats than Skar King and Shimo, who are set to appear as villains in Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, fans believe that the film will mark the end. Previously, Walter Simmons and Mechagodzilla played the two main antagonists in the 2021 movie Godzilla vs. Kong. Although they were great threats, netizens believed they couldn’t stand a chance against Skar King and Shimo.
Yep its the last movie. There surely can’t be a bigger threat than Skar King and Shimo.

Could be the final film in the Monsterverse, or it might not be. Either way, the film is going to be epic.

The way I understand it is that continuing to license Godzilla is tricky, so WBD are careful with their MonsterVerse and take it one movie at a time. https://t.co/oFBMNrjItZ

Therefore, believing that there are no greater threats to be pitted against, fans seem to have unanimously agreed upon the alleged reports. Justifying Daniel Richtman’s supposed claims with proper reasoning, netizens corroborated that Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire is going to be a trilogy. Beginning with Godzilla in 2014, followed by Godzilla vs. Kong in 2021, the upcoming Godzilla x Kong is deemed to mark the end of the mega battles.
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire will hit the big screens on March 29, 2024.
