Legendary and Warner Bros. Pictures have revealed that Adam Wingard's hotly-awaited Godzilla vs. Kong sequel will officially be titled Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire and will open in theaters almost exactly three years after its predecessor on March 15, 2024.
While plot details are being kept heavily under wraps, the synopsis teases that the film will pit "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."
The film stars Dan Stevens (Legion; The Guest), Rebecca Hall (Iron Man 3; Transcendence), Brian Tyree Henry (Atlanta; Eternals), Kaylee Hottle (Godzilla vs. Kong; Magnum P.I.), Fala Chen (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings; The Undoing), Alex Ferns (The Batman; Wrath of Man), and Rachel House (Thor: Ragnarok; Next Goal Wins).
Additional information on their roles are currently unavailable, but Hall, Henry, and Hottle will all reprise their respective parts from the previous installment.
