The Godzilla and King Kong franchises are continuing to see a resurgence after what seemed like a quiet, desolate decade waiting for what would come next. Godzilla was rebooted in 2014, followed by a Japanese reboot in 2016, and an anime that premiered in the US this year. King Kong was rebooted with Kong: Skull Island in 2017 with plans for the giant gorilla to meet up with Godzilla in a 2020 crossover, Godzilla vs. Kong.
Now we’re finally seeing these plans come to fruition as director Adam Wingard preps his shooting schedule. The film will reportedly be shot mostly on sound stages in Atlanta starting October 2018. The shoot is expected to last until February of 2019, where the studio will have time for post production until the film’s 2020 release date.
While there’s no cast or story details announced, we do know the film is supposed to be directly connected with Michael Dougherty’s upcoming Godzilla: King of the Monsters which will be a direct sequel to the 2014 reboot. It’ll be interesting to see how all of these movies and storylines tie together in the end. Who knows, maybe we can expect to see Kong and Godzilla fight even more monsters together in their crossover?
Until then, we have the upcoming Godzilla: King of the Monsters to look forward to. In the film…
Humanity’s existence hangs in the balance when the mighty Godzilla collides with Mothra, Rodan and the three-headed monster King Ghidorah.
King of the Monsters hits theaters on March 22, 2019 while Godzilla vs Kong makes its way May 22, 2020.
