Adam Wingard, the director of Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire, recently shared his admiration for a classic Toho Godzilla film that he would like to emulate in the MonsterVerse franchise. In a conversation with Discussing Film, Wingard expressed his fondness for Godzilla vs. Destroyah, a 1995 Japanese film directed by Takao Okawara.
Wingard praised Godzilla vs. Destroyah for its emotional depth and highlighted the poignant ending where Godzilla Jr. and Godzilla meet their demise. He specifically mentioned how the film's conclusion, accompanied by Akira Ifukube's powerful score, moved him to tears. Wingard emphasized his desire to capture a similar emotional resonance with Godzilla's character in future MonsterVerse projects.
