New Godzilla vs. Kong TV Spot Teases an Ancient Rivalry

March 3, 2021

A brand new Godzilla vs. Kong TV spot for Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Entertainment’s latest MonsterVerse film has arrived online, featuring some new footage. The video teases the ancient rivalry and the war that happened between the two mighty titans. It also gives us a glimpse of how Kong was captured by Monarch from Skull Island as well as a preview of one of the film’s big battles that will take place in what looks like Tokyo.

This newly released TV spot further teases each role that the titular giants might take in the salvation of the world with Kong being portrayed as the primary savior. However, it remains unclear how their rivalry gets reignited after so many years. The film is currently set to arrive in theaters and on HBO Max simultaneously on March 31. Check out the video in the player below!

The epic action-adventure Godzilla vs. Kong will pit two of the greatest icons in motion picture history against one another — the fearsome Godzilla and the mighty Kong — with humanity caught in the balance.

The film stars Alexander Skarsgård (Big Little Lies, The Little Drummer Girl), Millie Bobby Brown (Stranger Things), Rebecca Hall (Christine, Professor Marston and the Wonder Women), Brian Tyree Henry (Atlanta, Widows), Shun Oguri (Gintama), Eiza González (Baby Driver), Jessica Henwick (Iron Fist), and Julian Dennison (Deadpool 2). Also starring in the highly-anticipated movie are Kyle Chandler (The Wolf of Wall Street, Manchester by the Sea) and Demián Bichir (The Nun, The Hateful Eight).

The fourth installment in Warner Bros.’ Pictures and Legendary’s Monsterverse is directed by Adam Wingard from a script written by Oscar nominee Terry Rossio (Pirates of the Caribbean, Deja Vu, Shrek). The film is being produced by Mary Parent, Alex Garcia, Eric McLeod, and Brian Rogers, with Kenji Okuhira, Yoshimitsu Banno, Jon Jashni and Thomas Tull serving as executive producers. Jay Ashenfelter, Jen Conroy and Tamara Kent are co-producers.

The most recent film in Legendary’s MonsterVerse, Godzilla: King of the Monsters, hit theaters last summer. It ended with Godzilla taking his rightful place as the ruler of all Titans. Unfortunately, the movie was a financial disappointment, grossing only $385.9 million against a budget estimated to be as high as $200 million.

Godzilla vs. Kong was originally set to hit theaters in May 2020 (before the global pandemic) and then on November 20, 2020. Now, the film is set to hit theaters and HBO Max simultaneously on March 31.
