Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Entertainment have officially moved up their MonsterVerse epic Godzilla vs. Kong two whole months from Memorial Day to March 26, 2021.
The film will debut simultaneously in theaters and on HBO Max, making it the fifth title to debut day and date as part of WarnerMedia's unprecedented decision to send its entire 2021 slate to their newly-launched, albeit struggling, streaming service. It's expected to have an exclusive 30-day window once it hits streaming.
With the release date shift, it looks like we'll be getting an official trailer and poster as well as plenty of never-before-seen images sometime very soon, possibly even before or at the Super Bowl next month.
Godzilla vs. Kong will be the fourth installment in the MonsterVerse, following Godzilla (2014), Kong: Skull Island, and Godzilla: King of the Monsters.
Adam Wingard (Death Note) is directing with a screenplay from Terry Rossio (Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl). The ensemble cast features Alexander Skarsgård, Millie Bobby Brown, Rebecca Hall, Brian Tyree Henry, Shun Oguri, Eiza González, Jessica Henwick, Julian Dennison, Kyle Chandler, Demián Bichir, Zhang Ziyi, Van Marten and Lance Reddick.
In a time when monsters walk the Earth, humanity’s fight for its future sets Godzilla and Kong on a collision course that will see the two most powerful forces of nature on the planet collide in a spectacular battle for the ages. As Monarch embarks on a perilous mission into uncharted terrain and unearths clues to the Titans’ origins, a human conspiracy threatens to wipe the creatures, both good and bad, from the face of the earth forever.
