After the huge success of both Godzilla:King of the Monsters and Kong:Skull Island, there is another film that has been added to the successful Monsterverse franchise, and that is the upcoming Godzilla vs. Kong. The film, which is fourth in the franchise, will see Godzilla face off against the mighty King Kong. The film is highly anticipated with two of the most powerful creatures to walk to the face of Earth, clashing against each other.

Plot and Cast details

Godzilla vs. Kong is a direct sequel to Godzilla:King of the Monsters (2019) and Kong:Skull Island (2017). It is the fourth film in Legendary’s Monsterverse, which started with Godzilla in 2014.

The film is helmed by Adam Wingard, with the screenplay by Eric Pearson and Max Borenstein. The cast of Godzilla vs. Kong include famous names such as Alexander Skarsgard, Millie Bobby Brown, and Rebecca Hall. The film also stars Brian Tyree Henry, Japanese actor Shun Oguri, Mexican actress Eiza Gonzalez, Jessica Henwick, Julian Dennison and Kyle Chandler in supporting roles.

Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi reprises her role of Dr. Ilene Chen from Godzilla:King of the Monsters. Lance Reddick also joins the cast of Godzilla vs. Kong, although his role in the film is still undisclosed.

Release date and other updates

The film’s distributors, Warner Bros. Pictures, held an impromptu test screening in February, 2020, which received positive reviews. Godzilla vs. Kong was originally slated for release in May, 2020. It was first pushed back to March 13, 2020, and then postponed to November 20, 2020. However, owing to the COVID-19 pandemic that is still ravaging across the world, it seemed impossible for the film to make it to theatres on its scheduled release date.

Godzilla vs. Kong is now scheduled to release in the US on May 21, 2021, which was originally supposed to be the release date for The Matrix 4. The film will be released in 2D, 3D, and IMAX in theatres across the world.
