‘Godzilla Vs. King Kong’ Confirmed For 2020!

Briefly: Now this is a cool announcement.

Sure, it’s been rumoured for since the announcement of Legendary’s Kong: Skull Island that Godzilla and King Kong would (at some point) be appearing in the same film. Now it’s official, and we’re excited as hell.

What better way to join the creatures together than the MUTO-hunting organization, Monarch, that we first saw in 2014’s impressive Godzilla.

Today’s announcement also gave us a short timeline of the plans for this shared universe, which will see the previously announced Kong: Skull Island hit theatres on March 10th 2017, Godzilla 2 on June 8, 2018, and Godzilla vs. King Kong in 2020.

Legendary also reiterated that “Classic Toho monsters including King Ghidorah, Mothra, and Rodan, as announced at Comic-Con 2014, may also join the Legendary pantheon of giant monster mayhem going forward,” so there’s a good chance we could be seeing some of those classic creatures as well.

What could be next? A Legendary’s Agents of MONARCH TV series?

“Audiences really responded to Godzilla,” stated Legendary CEO Thomas Tull. “Today, I’m excited to reveal that film was only the beginning of an epic new entertainment universe. As a lifelong fan of these characters, I’ve always wanted to see the ultimate showdown, and today we’re pleased to be announcing that and more.”

“Working with our partners at Legendary, we enjoyed tremendous creative and commercial success with `Godzilla,’” added Warner Bros. CEO Tsujihara. “It’s great to be able to revisit these characters and help create a franchise with so many creative possibilities for filmmakers. Fans love these big, globally iconic films and it doesn’t get any bigger than this.”
