Now that Warner Bros and Legendary Pictures have settled the spat they had concerning the release of Godzilla Vs Kong, we finally (after many delays) have a trailer, and here it is:
Originally meant to be released in November 2020, the Covid pandemic saw the film’s release pushed back with nary a teaser trailer to be seen.
When Warner Bros announced it would be released directly to HBO Max, a rumble of Godzilla vs Kong proportions brewed between the studio and Legendary, the production company, since the studio forgot to run that decision by their partners first.
Presumably ruffled feathers have been smoothed (by a shedload of cash, no doubt) and now the titans will clash simultaneously in theaters (pandemic rules permitting, see your local government for details) and on HBO Max.
The fourth film in Legendary’s Monsterverse, Godzilla vs Kong stars Alexander Skarsgård, Millie Bobby Brown, Rebecca Hall, Brian Tyree Henry and Kyle Chandler, and is directed by Adam Wingard (who previously helmed You’re Next and Death Note).
Since the film is unleashed on March 26th, you have just two short months to decide whether you’re on Team Godzilla or Team Kong because, as the trailer promises, One Will Fall (expect tears from me whoever that ends up being).

“My God…” “…zilla.” King of The Monsters’ Final Trailer
“This is Godzilla’s world. We just live in it.” Legendary & Warner Bros have just dropped the final trailer for Mike Dougherty’s Godzilla: King Of The Monsters and the Godzilla-ness has been dialled up to 11. Feast your peepers on this…
Featuring a slew of other monsters (including fellow Toho mates, Mothra, Rodan and ultimate baddie, King Ghidorah) this looks set to firmly cast the Big G in a more heroic light and promises some mighty kaiju-on-kaiju action. Oh, and there are a bunch of good actors in it, but you probably don’t need to know that.
I will go to my grave defending Gareth Edward’s 2014 Godzilla (despite its obvious faults) and I’m super excited to see where Dougherty takes things up in this seemingly amped-up sequel (which is also a sequel to 2017’s Kong: Skull Island, and a set up for next year’s Godzilla vs Kong).
Grab your popcorn and get ready to rumble, as Godzilla: King Of The Monsters is released on May 30th.
Let Them Fight! Godzilla: King Of The Monsters Promises Monster Mash-Up!
Alongside the reveal of the awesome new poster, “Let them fight!” seems to be the message from the brand second trailer for Godzilla: King of the Monsters as it promises one almighty monster mash-up.
The film has quite the impressive cast on new and returning actors, including Kyle Chandler, Vera Farmiga, Millie Bobby Brown, Bradley Whitford, Sally Hawkins, Charles Dance, Thomas Middleditch, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Ken Watanabe, and Zhang Ziyi.
Several of these good people will obviously survive their encounter with the big guy this time and will be returning for the already-in-production Godzilla vs Kong, which is due to stomp everything in its path on on May 22, 2020.
Meanwhile, the King of the Monsters gets ready to do battle with Mothra, Rodan and King Ghidorah on May 31, 2019. Get ready to rumble…
