Warner Bros. has recently released the first Godzilla vs. Kong 2 teaser trailer, officially titled Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire. The teaser has been the talk of the town as fans are speculating about the plot and the villains that the two titular kaijus will face in the sequel. The 2021 film, Godzilla vs. Kong, showcased a massive battle between the two iconic kaijus that thrilled fans worldwide.
The ending of the crossover movie hinted that there is more story to tell, and the sequel is set to continue the epic tale of the two powerful beasts. The 35-second teaser revealed a glimpse of an unknown enemy sitting on a throne, possibly the main villain of the sequel. The footage then seemed to feature remains of the kaiju that the villain may have defeated, including the remains of both Godzilla and Kong.
The unknown villain displayed similar facial traits as Kong, which sparked several theories among fans about a possible connection between the two beasts. The teaser also suggested that the villain has a bone to pick with the two powerhouse kaijus from Earth. It remains unclear who the villain is in Godzilla vs. Kong 2, but there are many theories on which kaiju the two titular characters will face. Some speculate that the Kong-like adversary could be the MonsterVerse’s version of Gaira, a Frankenstein-spawn kaiju that first appeared in the 1966 Toho film, War of the Gargantuans.
Gaira is described as a humanoid giant whose body is covered in fur, and some speculate that this Kong-looking adversary will be created by antagonistic humans in the sequel. Another possible theory is that the unknown villain may have come from space, similar to King Ghidorah, another kaiju featured in the previous films. The MonsterVerse established that Kong is the last of his kind, but the sequel could potentially reveal that one of his ancestors is still alive and held captive by an unknown organization, seeking revenge not just on humans but on every monster that crosses his path.
The combined might of Kong and Godzilla will be put to the test in their fight against this dangerous and powerful villain, and the teaser suggested that it will not be an easy task. Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire is set to premiere in theaters on March 15, 2024. The upcoming film is expected to continue the epic story of the two powerful beasts and their fight to protect the world from dangerous threats. The new teaser has left fans excited and eager to see what will happen next in the world of the MonsterVerse.
