As anticipation brews for the conclusion of Apple TV+’s series “Monarch: Legacy of Monsters,” fans are also gearing up for the much-anticipated return of Legendary’s Monsterverse on the silver screen. Godzilla and King Kong are set for another epic encounter, but this time, they’re joining forces against a mutual adversary in “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire,” slated for an exclusive theatrical release on April 12, 2024.
Today, Total Film unveiled three fresh images from the upcoming sequel to “Godzilla vs. Kong,” offering a glimpse into the human characters rather than the monstrous stars of the film.
