While Warner Bros. Discovery and Legendary might have their eyes solely focused on Dune: Part Two right now, and with good reason, they do have another big movie coming out right after. We can expect that the Monday after Dune: Part Two comes out, the marketing for Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire will really kick into high gear. For now, things are still a little on the low-key side, with some posters, images, and a few interviews getting released here and there. We did get a new international poster that is very pretty. The posters for this film have generally been really good so far.
The MonsterVerse has been on a weird journey from the beginning. The first film, Godzilla, did pretty well at the box office and critically; the same went for Kong: Skull Island. However, Godzilla: King of the Monsters had to deal with issues of the 2019 box office, and combined with the fact that it wasn't very good, it underperformed. Godzilla vs. Kong was one the first big releases of the hybrid releases from Warner Bros. and was also heavily pirated. That being said, 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 in a few months. 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.
