"It has all led to this… Fight together or face extinction!!" Only a few weeks until this lands in theaters. Warner Bros and Legendary have revealed another official "Legacy" trailer for Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, opening in theaters at the end of March (here's the other official trailer). Once again directed by Adam Wingard, in The New Empire the two mega monsters Godzilla and King Kong have to team up to take on a "colossal undiscovered threat hidden within our world" - which seems to be some kind of vicious "Red Ape" massive chimpanzee along with other mega monsters that will happily destroy all of humanity. GxK also delves further into the histories of these Titans and their origins, as well as the mysteries of Skull Island & beyond, while spending more time in the Hollow Earth realm where Kong is from. The Godzilla x Kong cast features Dan Stevens, Rebecca Hall, Brian Tyree Henry, Rachel House, and Alex Ferns. This latest trailer opens with footage from all of the previous US Godzilla movies, starting with Gareth Edwards' movie from 2014. There's not much other new footage, but I'm still hoping it ends up being a badass sequel.
Here's the "Legacy" trailer (+ IMAX posters) for Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, from YouTube:
