Just when you thought the stakes couldn’t possibly get any higher in the Monsterverse and we reached the pinnacle of its narrative with Godzilla vs. Kong, Warner Bros. smacks us over the head with a reveal and teaser trailer for a team-up between the two monsters. Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire is inbound, and it looks like the fan-favorite and beloved kaiju will be teaming up to face a whole new threat.
After the pair faced off against each other and Mechagodzilla in their last outing in 2021, it looks like the pair will be faced with a new adversary which will require their combined powers to overcome. The reveal teaser showed an as of writing unnamed villain atop a throne, overlooking the skulls of the two monsters that have dominated the first five films since 2014’s Godzilla. So, when can we expect to see this exciting new entry in the Monsterverse?
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire release date
The above teaser trailer shows a tentative 2024 release date, however, Legendary and Warner Bros. have confirmed that Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire will be arriving on March 15, 2024, so we’re a little over a year away from what will undoubtedly be the next epic story in the Monsterverse franchise.
In a very MCU-esque template, both Godzilla and King Kong have had solo outings in Legendary and Warner Bros. Monsterverse in 2014 and 2017, respectively. This was followed by a sequel to Godzilla, titled Godzilla: King of the Monsters in 2019, and then the franchise so far culminated in the pair facing off in 2021’s Godzilla vs. Kong. Given the ‘vs’ has been dropped from the title of the recently announced fifth entry, it is all but certain that the two monsters will be teaming up in their next adventure.
