Director Adam Wingard has a strong love for the primary titans of the Monsterverse, Godzilla, and King Kong. It is a no-brainer to be at the helm for the second meeting of these creatures for Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire.
The film is a direct sequel to the 2021 hit film Godzilla vs. Kong, but the two gigantic creatures must set aside their differences for a greater evil that threatens the planet.
The returning cast includes Rebecca Hall as Ilene Andrews, Kaylee Hottle as Jia, and Brian Tyree Henry as Bernie Hayes. Dan Stevens and Fala Chen joins the cast in this follow-up film.
Here is the official synopsis:
