Show It looks like King Kong is ready for a rematch, as Warner Bros. announced Godzilla vs. Kong‘s untitled sequel is coming to theaters in 2024, as Variety reports. So far, little is known about the next installment in Legendary’s MonsterVerse, but now that we have a release date, it shouldn’t be long to find out which new giant beast will face Earth’s two mightiest defenders. Released in 2021, while the whole world was still recovering from the worst effects of the pandemics, Godzilla vs. Kong crossed the $100 million mark at the domestic box office while also available on HBO Max. Warner Bros. quickly realized the obvious: people like to watch giant monsters beating each other to a pulp on the biggest screen possible. So, it didn’t take long for Legendary to announce they were working on a sequel. The untitled sequel to Godzilla Vs. Kong is expected to start filming in Australia this year, but Legendary and Warner Bros. have been very secretive about their plans for the MonsterVerse. So far, all we can say for sure is that The Guest’s Dan Stevens was cast in an undisclosed role. Godzilla Vs. Kong sequel will also reunite Stevens with director Adam Wingard, who’s back to helm the mysterious film after directing the first. Wingard was also behind The Guest, which earned critical acclaim for himself and for Stevens’ performance. Godzilla Vs. Kong was the culmination of a series of films Legendary released since 2014’s Godzilla. Besides presenting a new powerful version of the giant lizard to the world, Legendary’s MonsterVerse also had its own take on the colossal ape with Kong: Skull Island. Then, Legendary released dozens of Titans on Earth in Godzilla: King of the Monsters, changing their universe forever. Finally, Godzilla Vs. Kong put the two kings on a collision path that gave us a definitive answer of who’s the strongest kaiju, with Godzilla getting the best over Kong. Of course, in the movie’s explosive finale, the two creatures join forces to destroy a human-made monstrosity called Mechagodzilla. It’s unknown if Godzilla and King Kong will face off again in the sequel, but at the end of the first crossover film, each creature took over one realm for himself. While Godzilla remains the unbeatable king of Earth’s monsters, King Kong is now free to roam Hollow Earth, an underground kingdom that his ancestors previously occupied. Godzilla Vs. Kong also teased the ancient history of Hollow Earth, and that humanity had worshipped giant monsters thousands of years before the movie’s events. That means a sequel could also look at the past to expand the mythology. Besides a sequel for Godzilla Vs. Kong, Legendary‘s MonsterVserse is also planning the release of a Titans TV show. The new series will allow fans to see more of the other gigantic creatures who roam the world since Godzilla: King of the Monsters. The untitled sequel for Godzilla Vs. Kong will come crashing into theaters on March 15, 2024. via Collider
The mega-showdown between classic giant monsters Godzilla and Kong is set to continue in an untitled sequel, which now has an expected release date.
Legendary Entertainment's sequel to Godzilla vs. Kong now has an expected release date. According to Variety, the giant-sized next film in the MonsterVerse movies is set to premiere on March 15, 2024, releasing nearly three years exactly since the first film. Few details on the project have been revealed yet, though producers plan to return to Queensland for filming. It follows up directly after the events of the well-received Godzilla vs. Kong, which saw the pair fight for dominace before joining forces to destroy Mechagodzilla. Details are still under wraps, but the first film's director, Adam Wingard, will return to the director's chair. He previously expressed interest in returning to the universe, particularly exploring the mysterious Hollow Earth. "I would absolutely love to continue," Wingard said. "The clear starting point we teed up, exploring Hollow Earth, I think there is a lot more to do there. This is a pre-history of Planet Earth, where all the [Titans] come from," he added. "We tee up some mystery in [Godzilla vs. Kong], things I want to see resolved and explored and pushed to the next level. If I have the opportunity, I know what I will do. It’s up to Warner Bros and Legendary, if they have an appetite." The project also recently attached Legion star Dan Stevens in a leading role, though details about his character remain scant. The film reunites Stevens with Wingard, as the two worked together previously on The Guest, an action horror thriller that garnered critical and fan acclaim for both actor and director. Godzilla vs Kong 2 marks a departure for Stevens, who's best known for smaller films and television. Legendary’s Monsterverse has more than the sequel in the works. Godzilla vs. Kong writer Max Borenstein teased that there are plans for more Monsterverse films. The Monsterverse will also branch out to the small screen as Apple TV confirmed it picked up the untilted live-action series following on from the events of 2014's Godzillaand the aftermath of San Fransisco's destruction. Apple TV+ and Legendary Television recently announced members of the cast, including Anna Sawai, Ren Watabe, Kiersey Clemons, Joe Tippett and Elisa Lasowski. Other features in the works include a new anime to add to Netflix's growing collection, this one based on the 2017 King Kong film. Like the other Monsterverse projects, very few details have yet to emerge about the project. A short teaser reads, "A shipwrecked crew, an island of monsters, and one king to rule them all. Skull Island is a new anime series set in @Legendary’s Monsterverse from @powerhouseanim."
