Although Apple TV+ subscribers can currently get their MonsterVerse fix by streaming Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, the franchise is finally returning to the big screen later this year with Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, which dropped its first trailer last month. Among the interesting things highlighted in the preview was Kong wearing a mysterious mechanical glove and the introduction of an adolescent member of his species who’s nicknamed Mini-Kong. Well, some Godzilla x Kong merch has revealed both an interesting detail about the glove and what Mini-Kong’s actual name is, so let’s first discuss the latter, which is more important in my eyes.
While it’s fun to refer to that little tyke as Mini-Kong, it’s nice to learn that he’ll have an actual name in this 2024 movie release. Per one of the toys revealed by Kaiju News Outlet, he’ll be known as Suko. In the same box, you’ll also get Titanus Doug, a Titan that cameoed in Godzilla vs. Kong. It remains to be seen, though, if this Doug toy means he’ll actually appear in the new movie. If so, let’s cross our fingers he receives a little more screen time.
