The latest excitement in monster films is brewing with the release of the first trailer for Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. The film, set to stomp into theaters on April 12 next year, continues the legendary titanic clash we've seen in previous installments like Godzilla vs. Kong. This new trailer reveals a red-headed giant gorilla antagonist and introduces a rather eerie looking baby Kong.

Fans and critics alike have expressed mixed reactions, particularly noting the unusual and somewhat comical running animations of Godzilla and Kong, likening them to people in mascot suits. Despite these critiques, anticipation is still high for the movie directed by Adam Wingard, who previously directed Godzilla vs. Kong. With notable actors like Rebecca Hall, Brian Tyree Henry, and Dan Stevens headlining the cast, the longing for epic monster battles remains undiminished.

Is Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire reuniting the same director and cast from the last film?

Yes, Adam Wingard returns to direct Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, and some of the cast from Godzilla vs. Kong, including Rebecca Hall and Brian Tyree Henry, will be coming back for the sequel.
