It was recently announced that Warner Bros./Legendary are officially moving forward with a follow-up to Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, with writer Dave Callaham enlisted to pen the script for the untitled movie.
There was no mention of a potential director at the time, but it seems Adam Wingard, who helmed The New Empire and its predecessor Godzilla vs. Kong, was set to return.
Was being the operative word.
According to THR, Wingard is no longer in line to direct the project. Though the report stresses that he didn't have a deal in place, anyway, it sounds like he was tentatively attached prior to a parting of ways, which is described as "amicable and stemming from timing issues," with the door remaining "open for a future return."
Wingard is now expected to turn his attention to his next project, a new original feature that he wanted to tackle...

This year's Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire wasn't exactly a monster hit, but it did manage to take in close to $555 million worldwide on a reported $135 million budget. Now, we have word that a sequel is officially in development, and Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures have enlisted a writer to pen the script.
According to THR, Dave Callaham has signed on to write the untitled movie. No plot details have been disclosed, but it's assumed that both the King of the Monsters and the mighty Monarch of Skull Island will return to face a new, potentially world-ending threat.
Callaham has previously worked on several major studio tentpoles, including the 2021 Mortal Kombat reboot, Wonder Woman 1984, Marvel Studios' Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, and Sony Pictures' Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. He also has some prior experience with Big G, having written the early drafts and received story by...

Typically, when a movie is a box office smash, that means that it makes a ton of money. But for the legendary stars of Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, they mean it in a much more literal sense.
As audiences around the world watch these icons of the silver screen reunite for director Adam Wingard’s second MonsterVerse movie, many are likely looking to know more about this massive blockbuster. Luckily, Daily Dead was able to speak with the filmmaker ahead of the sequel’s theatrical release to pull back the curtain on a few details surrounding the Titan tag team turmoil.
In the first part of our interview with Wingard, he discussed how his corner of this cinematic universe was largely inspired by the toys of the 1980s. Not only did this apply to the overall look and feel of the marketing materials or the characters, but it also extended to Hollow Earth,...

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire premiered on March 29, 2024, as the most recent installment in the MonsterVerse franchise. The movie received mixed reviews from critics and is one of the installments with the lowest score, but fans are amazed as things stand now, and the box office earnings seem to confirm that. The movie surpassed expectations for its opening day and previews, and now that the first weekend is over, it has earned an amazing $194 million, landing the best opening weekend of the year, as well as breaking into the top ten list of highest-grossing movies after just one weekend.
The movie has just started its theatrical run, and to be frank, it is projected to become a box office hit. With the success of the movie, the MonsterVerse franchise also managed to hit past the $2-billion mark, becoming one of the most lucrative franchises in movie history.

Godzilla and King Kong may be the titans fans flock to see, but a new contender has entered the ring, and he’s no mindless beast. Director Adam Wingard sheds light on the motivations behind Skar King, the cunning villain who stands as a stark contrast to Kong in Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire.

While Godzilla and other Titans are driven by instinct, Skar King is different. Unlike Godzilla and the other big monsters, he isn’t just acting on instincts. He’s smart and thinks things through. Here the director explains more about what makes Skar King such a unique and menacing villain.
Director Reveals Why Skar King is the Perfect Villain in the MonsterVerse
Director Adam Wingard wanted to show how smart primates can be in real life, and he used that to shape Skar King’s character.

This article contains mild spoilers for "Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire."
Adam Wingard's "Godzilla vs. Kong" was one of 2021's most pleasant blockbuster surprises, primarily because it represented a successful step up in filmmaking scale for the very talented Adam Wingard. More than a few eyebrows arched when the director, best known for his pulpy (and very R-rated) action and horror flicks, was tapped to referee the long-awaited MonsterVerse throwdown, but he took to the genre with gleeful ease. And, really, why wouldn't he? We were all kids once. The opportunity to make a mega-budget Godzilla and King Kong movie in one fell swoop is something many of us dreamed of as rambunctious eight-year-olds.
And it wasn't just about the kaiju combat! One of the film's most visually thrilling sequences found Kong and the Monarch team exploring the reverse-gravitational expanse of Hollow Earth (which Wingard considered his "'Star Wars' audition'). This realm,...

It's sometimes hard to see, given humanity's arrogance and egocentricity, but the truth is that we all live on a shared world. The process of sharing a habitat was never an easy one to begin with, but it's something that's only become more complex and vital over the past couple years, especially since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic and the growing issues surrounding climate change. To put it bluntly: human beings, so used to being isolated, are barely able to co-exist with each other, so what hope do the rest of the species on Earth have?
The MonsterVerse series of films, Legendary Pictures' adaptation of the "Godzilla" family of characters as well as Kong, are, generally speaking, big-budget blockbusters featuring giant monsters smashing stuff up real good. However, they've done the responsible thing in keeping a foot in the real world, dealing with such weighty topics as nuclear proliferation,...

It's been three years since the King of the Monsters and the king of Skull Island graced the silver screen, but the legendary beasts are back in "Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire." Adam Wingard has returned to the director's chair for another kaiju-filled romp in the MonsterVerse, one that has even more monsters than 2021's "Godzilla vs. Kong" did. Wingard, it's also worth pointing out, is the first director to helm two movies in this franchise, so we're getting some consistency here. But are we getting anything else after the credits start rolling?
Both "Kong: Skull Island" and "Godzilla: King of the Monsters" had post-credits scenes, so it's reasonable to wonder if "Godzilla x Kong" is going to have one. We're here to address that very question in spoiler-free fashion. So fear not! If you're planning on heading to theaters to see the film on opening weekend, we're not...

The MonsterVerse franchise is an underrated contender in the cinematic universe wars, with a clear watching order that avoids confusion or an overwhelming number of entries. Part of the success of the franchise is that the continuity and canon are not overly complicated — well, it is a franchise about giant monsters punching each other in the face, after all.
After doing what all big cinematic universes do and expanding to TV — albeit with a really good show in this case, the MonsterVerse is back on the big screen with "Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire." The movie is set to not only bring the King of the Monsters and the Eighth Wonder of the World together once again but also bring a bit of a buddy-cop vibe to the MonsterVerse.

Godzilla vs. Kong – the fifth film in the Monsterverse franchise – stumbles into cinemas with all the grace of a giant lizard battling an oversized ape, and sadly, it never quite finds its footing.
Directed by Death Note and Godzilla vs. Kong director Adam Wingard, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire sees the return of Rebecca Hall as Monarch anthropological linguist, and Kaylee Hottle as her adoptive daughter Jia. Also back for another slice of Kaiju mayhem is Brian Tyree Henry as Bernie Hayes, a Cybernetics technician turned conspiracy theorist and podcaster.
Kong, accompanied by his guardians, embarks on a treacherous quest to uncover his ancestral homeland. Their journey takes an unexpected turn when they cross paths with a rampaging Godzilla, leaving a trail of devastation in his wake.

Watching “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire,” I realized that the movie, a standard overly busy and mediocre blockbuster with a pretty awesome wow of a clash-of-the-titans climax, was demonstrating one of the essential principles of Hollywood movie culture today. Namely: All blockbuster movies are now connected!
Kong, living in the Hollow Earth, where most of the film is set, is supposedly the last of his kind, but he discovers a child ape who actually looks like an homage to the cuddly creature in the 1967 Japanese film “Son of Godzilla.” This kid gorilla leads Kong to a tribe of scraggly hostile apes who are living in a slave society presided over by the Skar King, an evil ape with blotchy red hair who’s as tall as Kong and wields a skeletal bone whip that looks like it was fashioned out of the spine of a sea serpent. He also commands,...

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire had me feeling like a little Donato again; sitting on the couch, cradling a bowl of sugary cereal, with my favorite Saturday morning cartoons on TV (like Godzilla: The Series). Will the screenplay win an Academy Award? Hell no. Does director Adam Wingard have an absolute blast staging supersized Titan mayhem? Big time.
Godzilla: Minus One satisfied our cravings for societally introspective and richly commentative kaiju narratives that produce more than citywide destruction. Godzilla x Kong is almost exclusively about everything Toho’s Oscar-winning Godzilla flick is not. The only thing missing from this royally massive rumbler is famed ring announcer Michael Buffer’s “Let’s get ready to rumble!” catchphrase and a ring bell’s ding each time mayhem erupts. That’s the energy Wingard brings — the definition of Friday night popcorn entertainment.

So there’s this big prehistoric lizard, see, and once upon a time, the powers that be tried to kill him with a nuclear bomb. No dice, alas. But that turned out to be a good thing, as this gargantuan fire-breathing reptile ended up fighting other ginormous creatures — sometimes called Massive Unidentified Terrestrial Organisms (MUTOs), sometimes called “Titans” — and despite doing incalculable property damage in various metropolitan cities around the world, the media-dubbed “King of the Monsters” mostly helped keep the world safe from harm. Thanks!

It may be Valentine’s Day, but it’s also a Godzilla kind of day. Earlier today, I shared the news that Godzilla Minus One director Takashi Yamazaki wants to make a sequel to that Toho production that would feature some “kaiju vs. kaiju” action, and now a new trailer has arrived online for a different Godzilla monster mash, the fifth film in the Legendary Monsterverse, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. This film is set to reach theatres on March 29th, and you can watch the new trailer in the embed above.

Legendary’s Monsterverse returns to the big screen on March 29 with Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, and a brand new 3-minute official trailer has arrived today.
This new trailer is loaded with new footage from the upcoming Kaiju combat movie, which this time around brings Godzilla and King Kong together to fight a common enemy.
What monster could be such a threat to both nature and man that it brings Godzilla and Kong together? That’d be Skar King, a brand new villain for a brand new era.
Godzilla x Kong‘s Official Trailer 2 also gives us our first sneak peek at Shimo, the secondary antagonist that the two Kaiju Kings will have to battle. While Skar King is essentially an evil version of King Kong, Shimo looks to be an evil version of Godzilla. Talk about a Royal Rumble!

Legendary’s Monsterverse returns to the big screen on March 29 with Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, and we’ve been promised a brand new trailer on Wednesday, February 14.
While you wait, Empire Magazine has shared an epic new shot this week. Find it below.
“There’s a bit of a truce — Godzilla’s in control of the surface world and Kong is down in Hollow Earth,” director Adam Wingard tells Empire of the film’s storyline.
Wingard also explains, “The buddy-cop dysfunctional relationship dynamic is probably the best one to describe Godzilla and Kong. My influences are always embedded with the ‘80s, and the ‘80s were prime for [that] storyline. There’s a lot of misunderstanding – the way that the monsters communicate isn’t straightforward.”

The fifth film in the Legendary Monsterverse, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire was once set to reach theatres and IMAX on March 15th, then it slid back to April 12th before recently being moved back up to March 29th. Hopefully they’ll stick with that date. It seems pretty certain that we’ll be seeing the movie very soon regardless, especially since it just happens to have received its rating from the Motion Picture Association ratings board. FilmRatings.com reports that Godzilla x Kong has officially been rated PG-13 for creature violence and action. Exactly what we’ve been expecting from it.

The explosive season finale of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters premiered today, but fans are left wondering whether or not Apple will renew the series for season 2.
Nothing has been officially announced yet, but Monarch: Legacy of Monsters showrunner Chris Black told TVLine earlier in the week that although “we do no have a season 2 order,” the show has “done very well, so we’re optimistic and excited. We feel we have more story to tell.” Fingers crossed.
“Following the thunderous battle between Godzilla and the Titans that leveled San Francisco and the shocking revelation that monsters are real, Monarch: Legacy of Monsters tracks two siblings following in their father’s footsteps to uncover their family’s connection to the secretive organization known as Monarch,” reads the official synopsis. “Clues lead them into the world of monsters and ultimately down the rabbit hole to Army officer Lee Shaw (played by Kurt Russell...

Bong Joon-ho’s highly anticipated sci-fi movie Mickey 17 starring Robert Pattinson was originally slated to hit theaters this March, but Warner Bros. has pulled the film from the schedule. However, the release date was quickly filled by Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, with the MonsterVerse sequel jumping from April 12th to March 29th.
According to Deadline, the reason for Mickey 17‘s change is “due to shifts in production amidst last year’s strikes,” but a new release date should be announced soon. The new release date for Godzilla x Kong gives the film little competition, although it will hit theaters just a week after the release of Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire.

If you watched the trailer for Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, you likely noticed Kong wearing a mechanical gauntlet on his arm with no explanation given. So… what’s the deal with Kong’s new tech?
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire director Adam Wingard isn’t spilling any details about the King’s new bionic arm, but he did drop a few hints while speaking with Total Film. “It’s kind of hard to say too much more than that without spoiling anything, because he has one of my favourite intros of any character I’ve ever shot in my films,” Wingard said. “What I will say is I’d want to play with that [action figure] if I was a kid! And though Apex isn’t in this story in a literal way, we kind of hint that Monarch absorbed a lot of the Apex technology after the last film.

Two iconic movie monsters have joined forces in the latest installment of Legendary Pictures’ Monsterverse in the new trailer for Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire.
In the foreboding clip, a seismometer measures big disturbances in the ground. “For most of civilization we believed that life could only exist on the surface of our planet,” an ominous voiceover says as the Earth is seen buckling by the pyramids. “What else were we wrong about?” While Kong emerges from the ground and later Godzilla, a new empire is introduced, and the pair is seen running together.

Behold! We have your first look at the biggest cinematic showdown of 2024. Warner Bros. and Legendary have released the first trailer for "Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire." This serves as a sequel to 2021's "Godzilla vs. Kong" and will end up as the fifth movie in the MonsterVerse franchise that kicked off in 2014 with Gareth Edwards' "Godzilla." As the title implies, this is no longer a "versus" situation between the two storied monsters — but a new threat has emerged that they are going to need to contend with.
The film once again sees Adam Wingard in the director's chair. What's interesting is that this is the first time a director has returned to the MonsterVerse, as every previous entry was helmed by someone different. Jordan Vogt-Robers directed "Kong: Skull Island," with Michael Dougherty taking on "Godzilla: King of the Monsters." So, what has Wingard cooked up for us this time?...

Godzilla and King Kong are putting their differences aside next year in Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, and IGN has shared three first look images from the movie today.
In a chat with the site, director Adam Wingard teases the monster they’ll be teaming up to fight. He calls the new threat “a devilish, Kong-type character.”
Wingard previews, “We wanted to come up with an antagonist that would both be a match for Kong and Godzilla, and that’s really hard to do. There’s a lot more to this character and how he’s a threat, and that’s going to be something that’s going to be fun to kind of dole out.”

The Monsterverse is here to stay. Long live the Monsterverse.
Today brings us the news that the latest film in Warner Bros.' and Legendary Pictures' rock-'em, sock-'em franchise has officially been given a new title, synopsis, and announcement video.

"Godzilla by Kong," "Godzilla times Kong," and "Godzilla ex Kong" don't really seem to have a great ring to them,...
