Director Adam Wingard discusses the balance between Godzilla and Kong in the film, out Friday.

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire opens this week and while it prominently features both iconic characters, one has a much more satisfying, complete arc than the other. And there are several very good reasons for it. “This story in general is a bit more of the origin story of Kong stepping into his own as King Kong,” director Adam Wingard told io9. “So naturally, it took us in that direction.” And indeed, similar to the previous film Godzilla vs.

“And I think that’s one of the important things when you’re doing one of these monster films is being able to find a human story that isn’t separate from the monster’s story. It’s intertwined, even if they’re not always together. There’s an echo. So you’re always following the same thread and in the same thematic way.” There isn’t a similar echo with Godzilla because, well, there just can’t be.
