Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire Director Teases The Tech On Kong's Arm

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire director Adam Wingard teases the tech we see on Kong's arm in the teaser trailer.

We are continuing to learn a little more about the next entry in the MonsterVerse, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. We got the first teaser trailer not that long ago, and there have been some reveals in the new year that are teasing what this movie will be about. However, just because the marketing machine for this one has started on the early side, that doesn't mean Legendary and Warner Bros. Discovery are planning on revealing everything before the April 12th release date. One of the things that they are keeping close to the chest is the bit of tech we saw on Kong's arm in the teaser. Director Adam Wingard didn't want to give a lot of details, but he did have a little to say to Total Film about the new addition to the fan-favorite character.

"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 reveals. "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. The glove Kong is wearing, it's somewhat insinuated that's Apex technology."

It has never been a better time to be a kaiju fan between Godzilla Minus One lighting a bunch of brains on fire by being so awesome and Monarch on streaming as well. You're all well fed, and that is even before Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire comes out later this year. However, the box office on the MonsterVerse has been a bit inconsistent, and the future of this franchise could be on the shoulders of this new entry–no pressure for anyone involved.
