The most unstoppable shared cinematic universe of the moment doesn’t concern superheroes, but instead, giant monsters who smash things. While film critics — or even fans of monster movies in general — struggle to take Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire seriously, the movie is impossible to ignore. So far, it’s earned $564 million at the box office, making it the highest-grossing Godzilla movie of all time and, at the moment, the second-biggest movie of 2024.
