Godzilla vs Kong Plot

The epic next chapter in the cinematic Monsterverse will put two of the greatest iconic creatures in motion picture history against each other. As the title suggests, the fearsome Godzilla will face the mighty King Kong, with humanity caught in the balance. It is unclear whether the two would end up fighting as a team against some other creature, or one of them would fall in the defeat from the battle with the winner emerging as King of the Monsters.

Earlier, an official Godzilla vs King synopsis was revealed. It describes the movie, “In a new world where man and monster now coexist, Monarch must lead the way to a prosperous future alongside the Titans, keeping humanity in check. However, rival factions that want to manipulate the Titans for war begin to rise under the guise of a nefarious conspiracy, threatening to wipe out all Titan life on the planet. Meanwhile, on Skull Island, strange seismic activity draws the attention of Godzilla and Kong alike”.
