Nothing really screams cinema like giant monsters, particularly when they’re fighting and/or engaging in wanton destruction. Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire - the latest film in the MonsterVerse saga that began with 2014’s revival of Godzilla - promises plenty of big-screen escapism when it stomps into cinemas this year.
Godzilla x Kong follows on from the events of Godzilla vs. Kong, in which the Titan rivals went head-to-head in a bout for monster supremacy, before making up to take on Mechagodzilla. Having gone their separate ways at the end of that film, GxK sees the mighty duo forced to become a tag team again when a new enemy threatens the safety of Kong’s home, the Hollow Earth, and our world above. There’s another great ape in town, and he’s out to prove that Kong might not be the king after all.
