Following the release of the highly anticipated Godzilla: King of the Monsters in 2019, Warner Bros. Pictures’ and Legendary Entertainment’s will continue their Monsterverse with Godzilla vs. Kong.

"In a time when monsters walk the Earth, humanity’s fight for its future sets Godzilla and Kong on a collision course that will see the two most powerful forces of nature on the planet collide in a spectacular battle for the ages. As Monarch embarks on a perilous mission into uncharted terrain and unearths clues to the Titans’ origins, a human conspiracy threatens to wipe the creatures, both good and bad, from the face of the earth forever."
