The Australian government has cooked it and accidentally leaked spoilers about the King Kong/Godzilla sequel in a press release. Oh God… zilla.
The press release (which went out in March this year) flexed that the new sequel would be filmed on Aussie shores, thanks to the Aus Gov’s $540 million Location Incentive. While that is good news, there was one tiny detail in the presser that they must’ve overlooked.
That leak was that in the new film, Kong would defend the Earth from the “unusual and dangerous creatures that threaten his new home.” Sounds pretty innocent right? Well, apparently that tiny description gave away one massive plot point of the movie — that King Kong would no longer be an antagonist, but would work with humans.
The new intel went largely unnoticed until is was recently uncovered by Twitter outlet, Kaiju New Outlet. The news then pissed off a few Godzilla fans, who were sick of seeing Godzilla as a “side character”.
