The Big Picture Both Godzilla and Kong are characters that have existed for the better part of a century, with dozens of films under their combined belts. For the most part, these franchises can be broken down into two categories. One is films that attempt to explore deeper issues or themes under the guise of a monster movie, like 1933’s King Kong, 1954’s Godzilla, or last year’s Godzilla Minus One.

Release Date March 29, 2024 Director Adam Wingard Cast Dan Stevens , Rebecca Hall , Brian Tyree Henry , Rachel House Runtime 1h 55m What Is 'Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire' About? In the wake of Godzilla vs. Kong, these two behemoths have stayed out of each other’s way. Godzilla stays on the surface, where he protects humans from other monsters and has taken to sleeping in the Colosseum when he’s not in battle, while Kong’s domain is the newly-discovered Hollow Earth.

At least putting the humans on this journey gives them a bit more agency than they’ve probably had since Kong: Skull Island. Hall is essentially the expert that every one of these types of films needs, and she does that well, while Henry is having fun as the audience surrogate, wowed by everything that he’s seeing in the Hollow Earth. However, most curious is the inclusion of Stevens’ Trapper, who seems to be the MonsterVerse’s attempt to give this series its own Star-Lord.
