New Godzilla vs. Kong Teaser Sets High Standard for Epic Titan Showdowns
Witness a sneak peek that promises escalated intensity in the Titan battles ahead.
A newly released clip from Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire gives us a glimpse into the relationship between Kong and Godzilla, hinting at the intensity of the Titan battle scenes in the movie. The trailers have shown that Godzilla and Kong team up to face the ape Titan Skar King and the new dragon Titan, Shimo. However, the details of their partnership have been kept under wraps, except for the iconic running scene at the end of the trailers.
Director Adam Wingard has described their dynamic as a "buddy cop dysfunctional relationship", indicating that the two Alpha Titans may clash initially due to their history. While their previous fight against Mechagodzilla in Godzilla vs. Kong demonstrated their ability to work together, they will face even more formidable foes this time. A particular clip reveals the close collaboration between Godzilla and Kong as they take on Skar King and his allies.

The Titans, Godzilla and Kong, joined forces to defeat Mechagodzilla, but their teamwork was spontaneous rather than planned. When Godzilla powered up Kong's axe for the final blow, it demonstrated a shared understanding between them. Kong riding on Godzilla's back hinted at the possibility of coordinated tag-team moves in future battles. This dynamic teamwork adds a new level of excitement to the Titan clashes in Godzilla vs. Kong, promising more intricate fight sequences than seen in previous Monsterverse films.

Legendary's Monsterverse has paid tribute to Godzilla and Kong's past with Toho, the company responsible for Godzilla's creation. While the Monsterverse movies are more serious, we may never see Godzilla's coolest move on screen. However, a Godzilla and Kong team-up opens the door to more nods to Toho. Director Adam Wingard has already taken inspiration from Toho's epic battles, like when Kong used his iconic tree-stuffing move from King Kong vs. Godzilla in Godzilla vs. Kong. It's likely that we'll see more of these references in Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire.
