Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire has started arriving in theaters across the globe, and if you're wondering whether you need to stick around until after the credits this weekend, we have an answer for you.

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire has begun rampaging into theaters across the globe and will almost certainly dominate the box office this Easter weekend.

A sequel to Godzilla vs. Kong, the movie pits the titular duo against the formidable duo of Skar King and Shimo. However, we're sure many of you are eager to know how this blockbuster fits into the wider MonsterVerse and what it means for the franchise moving forward. 

We'll be posting some spoiler-filled recaps soon, but in the meantime, we have intel on whether you should stick around after the credits. Post-credits scenes have become the norm thanks to Marvel movies, but they've never really been utilised by this series. 

Thanks to SFFGazette.com, we can confirm that Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire doesn't feature a mid or post-credits scene

However, if you do choose to stick around - SPOILER WARNING - you'll hear a roar that we believe belongs to Mothra. That's clearly meant to set the stage for what comes next and is really the only major tease in a movie that proves largely standalone (filmmaker Adam Wingard has expressed an interest in returning for a threequel but has repeatedly said nothing is confirmed at this stage).

Will you be watching Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire in theaters this weekend?

The epic battle continues!  Legendary Pictures' cinematic Monsterverse follows up the explosive showdown of 'Godzilla vs. Kong' with an all-new adventure that pits the almighty Kong and the fearsome Godzilla against a colossal undiscovered threat hidden within our world, challenging their very existence—and our own. 'Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire' delves further into the histories of these Titans and their origins, as well as the mysteries of Skull Island and beyond, while uncovering the mythic battle that helped forge these extraordinary beings and tied them to humankind forever.

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire stars returning Godzilla vs. Kong actors Rebecca Hall, Brian Tyree Henry, and Kaylee Hottle alongside Dan Stevens (Legion), Alex Ferns (The Batman), and Fala Chen (Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings).

The screenplay is by Terry Rossio (Godzilla vs. Kong) and Simon Barrett (You’re Next) and Jeremy Slater (Moon Knight), from a story by Rossio & Wingard & Barrett, based on the character "Godzilla" owned and created by TOHO Co., Ltd.

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire rampages into theaters on March 29.

@Forthas - Check out the radiation spectrum colors and you'll see that the shade of Pink used is how powerful Godzilla is emitting his radiation.

@Forthas - it's a reference to the millennium era.

@Origame - What is the millennium era?
Origame
Origame - 3/27/2024, 7:27 PM
@Forthas - it's the Era of Japanese godzilla films starting with godzilla 2000 to godzilla final wars. In some of those films, his fins were pink.
Forthas
Forthas - 3/27/2024, 7:42 PM
@Origame - I assumed there was a more practical reason. I think Shimo's ice breath is white and that would be too close to Godzilla's usual pale blue heat breath so they decided to change it.

@Forthas - yeah, but they could've easily just made shimo something else. She's the newly created creature after all.

Especially since the look is tied to the history of the franchise.

Since they have absolutely no desire to make more serious film, they could try doing this again and maybe do more with the other side monsters another than just having them their as cameo's for their trailers. And since Ghidora is already done and dusted they could go with another heavy hitter like Biolante or Destroyah, whichever one can shit out little cell juniors for the rest of the Z warriors to fight.

@HashTagSwagg - It's hard to make a giant monster movie serious. Cloverfield almost had it but it became silly once the military began battling the monster. 10 Cloverfield Lane was pretty cool but it was downgraded to a kidnapping thriller with the backdrop being the monster invasion. Nope was excellent towards the end once Jean Jacket turned into it's cosmic form but most of the film was treated like a dark comedy.

The only movies to have a post credits scene in the Monsterverse were Kong:Skull Island & Godzilla:King of The Monsters so it would have been 50/50 if this had one but GVK didn’t so I guess it’s expected that this wouldn’t either.

Anyway Looking forward to seeing this , one of my cousins is a really big Godzilla fan so he had already booked tickets for some of us so can’t wait.

Must not read...

...must share though!

I have no idea if this true but multiple sources are calling this the cheapest costing monsterverse film in the series and if correct that is some good news for this movie! https://comicbook.com/anime/news/godzilla-x-kong-the-new-empire-monsterverse-lowest-budget/

Also me and some friends tried to order tickets at a 730 showing for Friday and it's frigging sold out...

Though not the most exciting End Credits scene it’s cool Mothra’s offspring has taken over her mothers legacy.

@AllsGood -
This is not the final trailer. It's Screen Culture. They effectively mislead people and make their own concept trailers using either released footage or completely fake footage they find around the net.

In this case they've edited it so it has few of the human scenes and compiled most the shots of the monsters fighting.

Speaking of generations continuing their parents tradition Suko is the Monster-verse equivalent to Son of Kong, though in this case adopted son, wonder if they’ll introduce Manilla Son of Godzilla in the Monster-verse assuming they haven’t given they a role to Doug.

How is potentially a spoiler though. It either is or isn't right, or am I missing something? Even just an audio fragment counts as a scene imo

The movie The Song of Kong 1933 is only half decent at best cut could serve as inspiration for material in further Kong movie Adventures, for example the plot point in Godzilla vs Kong where the storm has decimated Skull island is taken from the ending of The Son of Kong 1933.





There were tributes to the original King Kong vs Godzilla in Godzilla vs Kong 2021,

Other possibilities for inspiration are the Bombastic Wackiness of Kong Fighting Meacha-Kong in King Kong Escapes 1964.

User Comment Image

They could draw from the 1976 Dino De Laurentiis Remake,

User Comment Image

King Kong surviving his gunshots and fall through surgery finding a Mate and roaming wild across country and suburbia in King Kong Lives 1986 a very flawed film,




But the military attacking Kong was readapted in Kong Skull Island 2017.


They could taken influence from certain designs, details, creatures “not necessarily the Dinosaurs” elements tipping their hat to the 2005 Peter Jackson film.

As well as the various books with many possibilities to adapt, modernised and incorporate as material for future solo Monster-verse King Kong Sequels.

Could be a good popcorn movie, but its unfortunate that its effectively Giant Lizard Vs Giant Lizard and Gorilla Vs Gorilla.

Could do with some more interesting monster antagonists in the next film.

At least the space part varies it a little more than 'It's Godzilla, but ice type'

I am anxiously awaiting to see the Monsterverse version of Destoroyah. They set this up since KOTM with the Oxygen Destroyer and I hope there is atleast some mention or scene that teases Destoroyah.

Also I heard a rumour of an end credits Scene for Godzilla vs Kong which I guess wasn’t true, that was a set up on an alien inversion threat coming to earth

similar to the Xiliens from Invasion of Astro-Monster,

The cockroach aliens from "M Space Hunter Nebula of Godzilla vs Gigan

The space apes from the Third Planet of the Black Hole of Godzilla vs MechaGodzilla, I’m sure there are many other examples of Alien enemies on these films.

Many of these aliens are prominently in the Showa Godzilla films and if introduced in the Monster-verse would be something Godzilla and Kong would come into conflict with very likely another monster under their control, other potential threats include.
