The world has been thrown into chaos by COVID-19, and while a number of highly anticipated blockbusters have been moved to later in 2020, the fate of Godzilla Vs. Kong remains a mystery.
There's been a lot of speculation that the crossover will be pushed into The Matrix 4's release date next May after that was forced to halt production, and it's getting harder and harder to imagine Godzilla Vs. Kong arriving in theaters in November - especially as Warner Bros. hasn't released so much as a single official image or piece of footage.
We do have an update today, however, with the news that the Motion Pictures Association has rated the movie PG-13 (which, honestly, was to be expected as it was never getting an R).
It's earned that rating for, "intense sequences of creature violence/destruction and brief language."
The biggest question is whether this means we're getting a trailer soon, as work on Godzilla Vs. Kong must be finished for a rating like this to be decided on. Unfortunately, there's been no word on that whatsoever, and it can't be a case of Warner Bros. thinking the pandemic is a bad time to promote a movie as they recently released a new look at Tenet!
The most likely explanation is that the studio doesn't want to start a marketing campaign for a movie which potentially won't be released in theaters if there are problems with re-openings as the year continues.
