Revealing ‘Godzilla vs. Kong’ Clips Sympathize with the King [Video]
The Monsterverse comes to a head in just under two weeks when Godzilla vs. Kong does battle in both theaters and on HBO Max.
While we’ve seen just under 3,200 posters for the film, Warner Bros. has been keeping a lid on other promotional items up until this week, when they not only dropped a huge batch of imagery, but also the following trio of clips.
It’s unclear how many spoilers the following footage contains, but it does reveal some pretty important information – first and foremost, we learn that the humans are using King Kong to fight one of their battles. “The Eighth Wonder of the World” is an enormous gorilla, so it’s not that surprising that he’s capable of communicating. He does so with a little girl who uses sign language to build a relationship with the “monster”, explaining to Rebecca Hall that he’s confused and doesn’t understand their motivation.
The second clip, “Kong and Jia”, carries a pretty massive spoiler, revealing that Kong is being contained within a fake/digital environment. It’s very reflective of real-life conspiracy theories.
The third, “Down with the Ship” is more action-packed, with Godzilla attacking and overturning a ship that carries an important package: King Kong.
The Adam Wingard-directed MonsterVerse epic will be roaring into theaters and IMAX on March 31st, and also onto HBO Max on the same day.

Danny Boyle and Alex Garland are reteaming for the long-awaited 28 Years Later horror sequel trilogy, and the first film in that new trilogy now has a release date.
28 Years Later arrives in theaters on June 20, 2025 from Sony.
Jack O’Connell (Amy Winehouse: Back To Black) has joined the previously announced Jodie Comer (Alone in the Dark, “Killing Eve”), Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Kraven the Hunter), and Ralph Fiennes (The Menu) in the upcoming 28 Years Later.
Alex Garland will write the first film and Boyle will return to direct. Nia DaCosta (Candyman, The Marvels) will direct the second installment in the trilogy from Sony Pictures.
Cillian Murphy (Oppenheimer) is on board as executive producer.
The original movie in 2002 starred Cillian Murphy and was written by Alex Garland and directed by Danny Boyle. In the smash hit horror film, “Four weeks after a mysterious, incurable virus spreads throughout the UK, a handful of survivors try to find sanctuary.”
A sequel, 28 Weeks Later, arrived in 2007. Juan Carlos Fresnadillo took over as director. In the sequel, which starred Jeremy Renner, “Six months after the rage virus was inflicted on the population of Great Britain, the US Army helps to secure a small area of London for the survivors to repopulate and start again. But not everything goes according to plan.”
Talks of a third installment in the franchise have been coming and going for the last several years now – at one point, it was going to be titled 28 Months Later – but it looks like this one is finally getting off the ground here in 2024. Stay tuned for more updates soon!
