Even after Wonder Woman 1984 arrived in December, the public is still thirsty for a blockbuster action. Fortunately, Warner Bros. Pictures and HBO Max will be giving it to us throughout the year, both in theaters and on WarnerMedia’s streaming service. One of the first big box office hits with this new deal will be Godzilla vs. Kongrecently increased from a May release to early March. If the first Godzilla vs Kong trailer is any indicator, this is going to be an absolute blast.
Godzilla vs Kong trailer
Godzilla seems to have turned against humanity, but no one knows why. That’s where King Kong comes in. Captured on Skull Island, the adult monkey is now the size of Godzilla, and humanity needs it to stop the lizard’s path of destruction, creating an epic and destructive battle. This first trailer gives us a glimpse of two of the fights between the titan titans, one that takes place in the middle of the ocean on an aircraft carrier as a kind of arcade game. The other takes place in a neon urban landscape, which we assume to be Tokyo, and gives us one of the toughest moments in the entire trailer.
On the human side of the story, Millie Bobby Brown (Weird stuff) repeats her role as Godzilla: King of the Monsters. Together with Julian Dennison (Deadpool 2) and Brian Tyree Henry (If Beale Street could speak), she believes that there is some mysterious reason for Godzilla to turn against humanity and is dedicated to finding that out. So there is Rebecca Hall, who appears to be a King Kong expert. She also has a certain bond with the giant ape, because the two began to protect a young orphan, who appears to be the key to making Kong fight Godzilla on behalf of humans.
This looks like a box office hit of the 1990s in the best possible way. I’m understanding Independence Day vibrations mixed with circle of fire. The music in the trailer alone got me pumped like hell. It doesn’t match the vibration of the film, but it highlights the battle between these two titans perfectly. Hopefully, there is a decent story here to accompany the whole blockbuster show.
Godzilla vs. Kong is run by Adam Wingard (You’re next, Blair witch) with a Eric Pearson and Max Borenstein. The rest of the cast includes Alexander Skarsgård (Big Little Lies), Shun Oguri (Gintama), Eiza González (Baby driver), Jessica Henwick (Iron fist), Kyle Chandler (the wolf of Wall Street), and Demian Bichir (The nun)
Legends collide in Godzilla vs. Kong, while these mythical opponents are in a spectacular battle forever, with the fate of the world at stake. Kong and his protectors undertake a dangerous journey to find their true home, and with them is Jia, a young orphan with whom he has formed a unique and powerful bond. But they unexpectedly find themselves in the path of an enraged Godzilla, cutting a strip of destruction across the globe. The epic confrontation between the two titans – instigated by invisible forces – is just the beginning of the mystery that resides deep within the Earth’s core.
Godzilla vs. Kong hits theaters and HBO Max (for 31 days) from March 26, 2021.
