Despite the fact Godzilla: King of Monsters underwhelmed (critically, commercially and, perhaps most importantly, with fans), there's still plenty of excitement for crossover event Godzilla vs. Kong.
The prospect of seeing those two goliaths squaring off on the big screen is an exciting one, though the kicker is that the movie is unlikely to receive a theatrical release. It was recently moved up from Memorial Day weekend to this March, and that likely means we'll be watching at home, on HBO Max.
Bizarrely, that release date change wasn't followed by a new trailer. We do, however, have a fan-made teaser which uses all the officially released footage...and there's not a lot of it! All of what we see here has just been used in promos for HBO Max, but why is the marketing campaign non-existent?
Well, you have to believe COVID-19 has played a role, but with a release date set, there's no reason not to start sharing posters, trailers, and TV spots, especially as Godzilla vs. Kong like this could be a big draw for HBO Max. The only other possibility is that Warner Bros. knows they have a stinker on their hands, and it's simply not worth the money hyping up a movie which will disappoint.
