The MonsterVerse is far from done, and if the latest plot leak is to be believed, the next Godzilla x Kong movie is taking things to a whole new level of chaos.
The following information comes from High on Cinema, and if you thought the last movie went big, this one might just be even crazier.
The leaked intel suggests the King of the Monsters will become the primary villain, fueled by rage over humanity’s interference. According to the report:
“Godzilla Becomes the Antagonist? – The major twist this time is that Godzilla himself is set to become the primary antagonist. His rage is fueled by humanity’s interference in the natural order, leading to a full-scale war between Titans and the military.”
Apparently, mechanized reanimated Titans—including Skull Crawlers—will be thrown into the fight, escalating tensions between Godzilla, Kong, and the military.
“Shimo’s Cameo and the Rise of ‘Zombie’ Titans – The Titan Shimo will make a brief appearance but will be subdued by advanced anti-Titan weaponry. Additionally, mechanized reanimated Titans (including Skull Crawlers) will be used as weapons against Kong and Godzilla, further escalating tensions.”
Meanwhile, Kong isn’t fully on board with the destruction, wrestling with the choice of siding with Godzilla or maintaining humanity’s trust.
“Kong’s Struggle – While Godzilla leans towards war, Kong is conflicted. He initially shares Godzilla’s anger but struggles with whether to continue co-existing with humanity or reject them entirely. A major fight between Kong and the military in a city is said to be one of the film’s standout moments.”
Because nothing screams epic like Godzilla brawling in the Roman Colosseum against mechanized Titans. If this leak is accurate, expect some of the franchise’s craziest action sequences yet.
“Roman Colosseum Battle – Godzilla, resting in the Roman Colosseum, is attacked by the military and their mechanized Titans, leading to an explosive battle that devastates the city.”
Fans who were thrilled by Mothra’s surprise tease in The New Empire will be happy to know she’s coming back in a big way. She’ll be the voice of reason trying to keep Godzilla and Kong from wiping out the human race entirely.
“Mothra’s Return – Mothra makes a dramatic return, clashing briefly with both Godzilla and Kong. Unlike them, she refuses to abandon humanity and plays a pivotal role in convincing them that people are still worth protecting.”
Despite all the destruction, the movie reportedly closes with a message of balance and coexistence, something the franchise has played with since the beginning.
“The Climax and Hopeful Ending – By the end of the film, humanity begins taking steps to restore Earth’s balance, acknowledging the need to co-exist with the Titans rather than control them—a return to the ancient harmony that once existed.”
The movie is being directed by Grant Sputore (I Am Mother) with a script written by Dave Callaham (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings). Kaitlyn Dever and Dan Stevens are also confirmed to star, though their roles remain under wraps.
The next Godzilla x Kong movie is set to stomp into theaters March 26, 2027.
