‘Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire’ will be a Delight for Toho Fans
The New Empire will pick up the pieces from 2012’s Godzilla vs. Kong, which saw them going separate ways at the end, however, the Titans will have to reteam to take down a new enemy. Speaking about the upcoming feature Wingard shared his excitement, “One of the incredible things about Godzilla is that the character has existed in so many different tones and interpretations in the Toho films”.
Along with the epic team-up, the feature will also showcase a baby Kong which was revealed in the previous trailer and the director promises even more surprises for fans. “I’m a huge fan of the whole spectrum, and I’ve always really enjoyed the late-Shōwa era. There are so many big ideas and they have such epic fun with these larger-than-life characters.” Further sharing the inspiration behind the movie, he said, “In Godzilla vs. Kong, we paid homage to that epic tradition, including a handful of Easter eggs for the hardcore fans, and while I don’t want to give anything away, we definitely work in a few things for the Toho fans in the new film as well, so keep your eyes open!”
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire is scheduled to be released on April 12, 2024.
