While we wait for the final episodes of Apple TV+ series “Monarch: Legacy of Monsters,” we’re also gearing up for the big screen return of Legendary’s Monsterverse. Godzilla and King Kong are back – and this time, they’re teaming up to fight a common enemy! – in Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, which will be unleashed only in theaters on April 12, 2024.

Total Film shares three new images from the upcoming sequel to Godzilla vs. Kong this morning, and these images highlight the human characters rather than the film’s monsters.

Rebecca Hall is back as Dr. Ilene Andrews with Brian Tyree Henry also returning as Bernie Hayes, and they’ll be joined in Godzilla x Kong by Dan Stevens (The Guest).

Stevens is playing a character named Trapper. The actor tells Total Film, “[My character is] a specialist in these creatures… If you’ve got a sick titan, Trap is your guy.”

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire is the thrilling fifth film in the Monsterverse series and sees the legendary Titans Godzilla and Kong team up to face a world-ending threat so terrifying that neither could survive alone.

Adam Wingard (who previously helmed Godzilla vs. Kong) directs Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, which features a screenplay by Simon Barrett (You’re Next, The Guest).

“This latest entry in the Monsterverse franchise follows up the explosive showdown of Godzilla vs. Kong with an all-new cinematic adventure, pitting the almighty Kong and the fearsome Godzilla against a colossal undiscovered threat hidden within our world, challenging their very existence – and our own. The epic new film will delve further into the histories of these Titans, their origins, and the mysteries of Skull Island and beyond, while uncovering the mythic battle that helped forge these extraordinary beings and tied them to humankind forever.”
