Godzilla vs. Kong trailer teases a king-sized on-screen showdown
The first Godzilla vs. Kong trailer dropped today, and it’s part big bad showdown and part “I hope this isn’t as bad as Pacific Rim 2.”
The movie was rumored for a while, and now that the trailer is here it’s easy to jump on or off the hype train. It’s the song used in Godzilla vs. Kong trailer that’s souring some viewers.
You be the judge. Check out the first trailer for Godzilla vs. Kong below.
Whaddya think? 2014’s Godzilla introduced us to a new design for the classic titan, and 2017’s Kong: Skull Island expanded the monster-verse. Most recently, 2019’s Godzilla: King of the Monsters further connected the world and introduced more monster good guys and bad guys.
Godzilla vs. Kong paints Godzilla as the baddie this time around, “and we don’t know why.” A few familiar faces and a handful of new ones are tasked with finding out what’s up.
Here’s the official plot synopsis for Godzilla vs. Kong:
Legends collide in Godzilla vs. Kong as these mythic adversaries meet in a spectacular battle for the ages, with the fate of the world hanging in the balance. Kong and his protectors undertake a perilous journey to find his true home, and with them is Jia, a young orphaned girl with whom he has formed a unique and powerful bond. But they unexpectedly find themselves in the path of an enraged Godzilla, cutting a swath of destruction across the globe. The epic clash between the two titans—instigated by unseen forces—is only the beginning of the mystery that lies deep within the core of the Earth.
Godzilla vs. Kong stars Alexander Skarsgård, Rebecca Hall, Kyle Chandler, Millie Bobby Brown, Lance Reddick, Shun Oguri, Brian Tyree Henry, Eiza González, Demián Bichir, and Julian Dennison. The movie hits theaters and HBO Max on March 26, 2021.
