Kong gets some “minor augmentations” in latest Godzilla x Kong trailer
Warner Bros. has released a new trailer for Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, directed by Adam Wingard. It’s the fifth feature film in the rebooted franchise, which also includes the animated series Skull Island and Apple TV+’s Monarch: Legacy of Monsters.
(Spoilers for Godzilla vs. Kong below.)
As previously reported, Godzilla x Kong picks up sometime after its 2021 predecessor. Godzilla vs. Kong showcased not only a major showdown between its titular titans—in which Godzilla emerged the victor—but also the two teaming up in the climactic finale to take out Mechagodzilla, a telepathically controlled creature with the severed head of Ghidorah. Ghidorah’s consciousness took over when Mechagodzilla was activated, and it took both Kong and Godzilla (plus some timely help from humans) to defeat him. (Kong got the final honors, although Godzilla charged the killing axe—made from one of his dorsal plates—with his atomic breath.)
