In this year 2024 celebrating 70 years of the creation of GodzillaTHE kaijū iconic will once again make its return to cinemas. After the excellent Godzilla Minus One of the Tōhō which plunged us into post-World War II Japan, it is the next blockbuster MonsterVerse which will soon entertain fans of excessive action. If you enjoyed the first trailer for Godzilla x Kong: The New Kingdom last December, know that she was very wise compared to the second and probably last trailer which was broadcast this Wednesday, which shows much more without clearly highlighting the great threat of the project.
The monologue at the beginning of the video sets as context the fact that giant apes like Kong have always been the protectors of humanity, while the Titans of which is part Godzilla are they the guardians of nature. The emphasis is then placed on the young Jia (Kaylee Hottle), the young mute girl who already appeared in Godzilla vs. Kong, who formed a bond with him and seems to have visions of the future, in addition to feeling the threat that these two creatures fear. If it is not a simple editing effect, she sees in particular the great battle in the middle of the city opposing one side Kong has Skar Kingthe apelike enemy portrayed as antagonistic so far, and on the other Godzilla in its evolved pink form facing a gigantic ice monster appearing even more disproportionate than him and which is called Shimoentirely new.
Kong and the group of humans led by Ilene Andrews (Rebecca Hall) are then seen passing through a vortex that they opened towards the hollow earth. The great ape will be confronted with Skar King and discover Shimo, with a very frosty breath. Given his surprised reaction, it will be serious! We also see the latter freezing the environment in Rio de Janeiro. On the other hand, it’s obviously still not mad love between Kong And Godzilla if we are to believe the scene in Egypt. More surprising, a scene shows us the kaijū being attacked by fighter planes, it remains to be seen why.
And if you’re wondering where we get the creature names from, toy packaging has spilled the beans, so as not to change… Moreover, the “mini-Kong” is called Suko. Furthermore, when pausing at 00:30, fans noticed that the reflection in the eye of Jia looks quite similar to Mothra, who could therefore join the party. Finally, and overall, we almost have the impression that this is a film about the gorilla with the lizard in sidekick… Let’s hope the result proves us wrong.
To finish, the theatrical release date Godzilla x Kong: The New Kingdom has been advanced since trailer of the CCXP23. Now the film is expected March 27, 2024 in France and therefore March 29 in the United States. If you want to watch all of the previous parts of the saga again, a 4K UHD Blu-ray box set is currently sold for €30.00 on Amazon.
