Godzilla vs. Kong 2 is currently in production. Now, excitingly enough, we may know the villain that Godzilla and Kong will be fighting against in the highly-anticipated sequel.
Fans of Godzilla vs. Kong will remember that director Adam Wingard implemented a slew of science-fiction elements into the new film. This culminated with the introduction of Mechagodzilla.
Now, however, it appears that he has a different type of sci-fi villain in mind for Godzilla and Kong to go up against. And, excitingly enough, if the report is true – it’s a classic monster that franchise fans will recognize.
According to plot details discovered by Warstu, the villain will be a familiar foe from the Heisei era of Godzilla films: SpaceGodzilla. Potential spoilers ahead.
Fans will recall that the original SpaceGodzilla had an uncertain origin, though it seemed to involve shared DNA with another villain named Biollante. This was a hybrid with both plant and Godzilla DNA. As such, the MonsterVerse version of SpaceGodzilla is said to also contain plant DNA.
In fact, Warstu says that the character will use plant matter to evolve throughout the film. Many of these different evolutions will go unstopped by Kong. Eventually, Kong and Godzilla have to face SpaceGodzilla together towards the end of the film after the creature manages to absorb Kong’s ax.
The design of the character is also said to include the familiar crystal structure from the classic SpaceGodzilla design. Additionally, it will be surrounded by plant matter in a way that seems similar to Biollante. We’ve already seen a number of crystals in Hollow Earth during Godzilla vs. Kong, so perhaps the stage has already been set.
The original source at 4Chan claims to have been a person named Bryan. They’ve stated that they work at a firm handling merchandise for the upcoming sequel. As such, they’ve acquired information about the character and its design.
Of course, this should all be taken with a grain of salt. But at this rate – it seems rather possible. Perhaps SpaceGodzilla really will be the villain that Godzilla and Kong unite against in the sequel.
