It is not exactly a secret that Mechagodzilla will take into account in the next Godzilla vs. Kong. But a new teaser for the film really enhances its appearance. Legendary Pictures, Warner Bros. and Toho released a trailer titled “Salvation” over the weekend. And while most of the footage is something we’ve already seen, it ends with a glimpse of some red eyes that look familiar. Let’s take a look.
Yes, that is Mechagodzilla right. And again, your appearance is not really a surprise. Eagle-eyed fans saw him in the first trailer for Godzilla vs. Kong. It even appears on official merchandise for the next film. But it is still exciting to see him receive only a tease on a piece of promotional material. Your involvement in Godzilla vs. Kong causes a new layer for the monster movie than just a simple big boy showdown.
Mechagodzilla first appeared in the 1974 film Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla. In this film, he is an extraterrestrial enemy of the eponymous giant lizard. In subsequent iterations, it is usually a man-made threat. The robotic character, along with Ghidorah, is considered one of Godzilla’s main enemies. Do you see him here? This left us overestimated, to say the least.

Recently, Godzilla vs. Kong director Adam Wingard also praised Mechagodzilla’s appearance in his film. He took Instagram to pose with the aforementioned toy version of the character. “The cat came out of the bag,” he labeled the photo. Some will call it a spoiler, but honestly, we all knew it was coming a while ago, so it’s nice to see filmmakers just openly acknowledge it instead of pretending to be shy.
Godzilla vs. Kong it’s so close now that we can almost taste it. The epic showdown hits theaters and will air on HBO Max on March 31. That’s next week!
