Director Adam Wingard (You’re Next, The Guest) is back with a sequel to his Kaiju film Godzilla Vs. Kong. This time around, however, we are going to see Godzilla and Kong join forces to take out a new threat in the New Empire. And to make things even more exciting the new threat that takes the form of a red ape, may just be the original King Kong of the Titans. It looks like he isn’t too happy about what has been going on in Hollow Earth.
The new baddie isn’t the only upgrade we see in the new trailer. We also see Kong put a golden gauntlet to use while we see Godzilla put a new violet atomic breath to work. I’m sure the new additions are going to be needed to take down the new menace.
The synopsis for Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire goes like this:
