The highly-anticipated sequel to Godzilla vs Kong is finally hitting theaters next year. Now a new teaser reveals the title for the film: Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire.
Of course, the teaser itself is quite mysterious, with either Kong or a similar new threat being the focus. The new giant ape stares menacingly into the camera before a slow crawl reveals two very familiar-looking skulls. It certainly looks like this outing will be a great and crazy follow-up to 2021’s successful Godzilla vs Kong.
It’s worth noting that this will be the fifth installment in the Monsterverse franchise. Fans of both Godzilla and Kong have been fortunate enough to have 2014’s Godzilla, 2017’s Kong: Skull Island, 2019’s Godzilla: King of the Monsters, and 2021’s Godzilla vs Kong. The films have introduced numerous exciting new monsters and reinventions of old classic characters. As such, we’ll have to see what threats this new film could have to offer.
Here’s the new teaser for Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire:
As for the synopsis of the new film:
“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.”
Additionally, the franchise will be continuing with a live-action Godzilla series on Apple TV Plus and a Skull Island anime on Netflix. It’s a great time for fans.
