2020 will see the release of Godzilla vs. Kong, a movie which will obviously pit two of the world's most iconic monsters against each other (and probably a larger threat which forces them to team up).
IGN caught up with director Adam Wingard at Comic-Con yesterday evening and he provided an update on where things stand with the project. "It's been a pleasure already in the first stages of it, having an excuse to go back and watch 30 Godzilla movies and justifying it to yourself. For me, it's about taking the series to the next level." So, it's going to be epic then but is there a hero and villain?
"I think they're very similar in a lot of ways. It's easy to demonize Godzilla on one hand, but I have a lot of emotional attachment to both monsters." After Kong: Skull Island, it's definitely going to be easier to relate to the giant ape but don't forget that he's actually a lot less gigantic than Godzilla! How is that going to be tackled? "They gave us a good out in Kong when they mentioned that Kong is still growing, but that'll be a challenge we have to deal with, and we're very aware of that issue."
Wingard went on to confirm that Godzilla vs. Kong is still taking aim at that 2020 release so we should start hearing more about the movie as soon as next year. It's definitely going to be interesting seeing how the size difference is handled in the movie and whether or not it makes any sense, though!
