Legendary Reveals Title for Next Godzilla x Kong Movie

Godzilla vs. Kong was supposed to close Legendary’s Monsterverse with Monarch and the titans, but it looks like they’re ready for more giant kaiju battles. Just in, we have the official reveal for the title of the next Godzilla/King Kong mash-up.

Check this out:

Here’s the official description for Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire:

This latest entry in the Monsterverse franchise follows up the explosive showdown of Godzilla vs. Kong with an all-new cinematic adventure, pitting the almighty Kong and the fearsome Godzilla against a colossal undiscovered threat hidden within our world, challenging their very existence – and our own. The epic new film will delve further into the histories of these Titans, their origins, and the mysteries of Skull Island and beyond, while uncovering the mythic battle that helped forge these extraordinary beings and tied them to humankind forever.

While a lot of fans think that it’s actually Kong sitting on the throne, I’m speculating that this is actually the big bad that the description is teasing, and it will be up to Godzilla and Kong to team-up and fight what I assume is another giant (but probably evil) monkey.

Admittedly, it was impressive that Godzilla vs. Kong managed to keep Mechagodzilla a secret throughout all of the marketing, but I think they’ll have to be more clear about who the enemy is going to be when it comes to this next film. The seeds for an ancient kaiju civilization have already been laid, so we’ll just have to wait and see how Legendary will decide to run with the ball.

The Monsterverse continues when Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire comes to theaters on March 15, 2024.
