No multiverse, no bagpipes: after sweeping box offices around the world with Godzilla vs. Kong, Legendary Entertainment will once again collide the top alpha predators of the east and west on the big screen and, in the process, throws us a glorious spectacle. Now, in addition, we also know the name that will be put on the billboard and it is a declaration of intent: Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire.

Something that is much better nuanced with the first advance of Godzilla x Kong: The New Empirein which we return to what appears to be the hollow Earth seen in the first film lit solely by the flash of two very recognizable skulls. What happened? The bad news is that between now and when we know it there is a long, long time.
Despite this appetizer, the release date of Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire is set for next March 15, 2024.

Regarding the plot, the first official synopsis does not add much to what is shown and hinted at. But, as we mentioned, there is a lot of time left for elements to be specified.
This latest entry in the Monsterverse franchise continues the explosive showdown between Godzilla and Kong with an all-new cinematic adventure, pitting the all-powerful Kong and the fearsome Godzilla against a colossal, undiscovered threat hidden within our world, challenging both their very existence and ours. .
