Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire Trailer Celebrates The Monsterverse
A new trailer for Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire celebrates ten years of the Monsterverse. It will be released on March 29th.
Tickets for Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire officially went on sale today, and with that, we got a bunch of new posters, as we usually do when tickets go on sale. We also got a new trailer, kind of, but it's also a trailer that is highlighting the Monsterverse as a whole. So we have footage from all four movies so far (including a reminder that Elizabeth Olsen was in the first Godzilla. Did anyone else completely forget that or just me) and that it's been ten years since this new cinematic universe kicked off. We went from a film that barely let us see Godzilla to films that absolutely love to show us the giant lizard we are showing up to see. Kaiju fans are winning right now, with Godzilla Minus One taking home an Oscar last weekend and setting a new standard for visual effects. That could be a problem for Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire if it looks worse by comparison with a budget ten times as big. The tone of this trailer makes it feel like they might be wrapping this up. It's the final battle. Do we think they will keep this going?
