Cameras are now rolling on Godzilla x Kong: Supernova!

Warner Bros. and Legendary unveiled the title for the latest entry in the MonsterVerse franchise today via a brief teaser for the movie.

The footage doesn't really show very much, but this is still a pretty cool way to announce that production is underway - and we do get to hear the King of the Monsters' iconic roar right at the end.

Please stand by. Your call is very important to us.#GodzillaXKong: Supernova | Now in production. Only in theaters March 26, 2027

We got confirmation late last year that a follow-up to Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire was in the works, with writer Dave Callaham enlisted to pen the script for the untitled movie. Adam Wingard, who helmed The New Empire and previous MonsterVerse movie Godzilla vs. Kong, was originally set to return, but ultimately departed the project under "amicable" circumstances, with Grant Sputore stepping in to replace him shortly after.

Kaitlyn Dever (The Last of Us, No One Will Save You, Booksmart) is set to play the lead. We don't have any details on her character, but previous reporst have noted that, while Kong and Godzilla will still be fronting the film, Legendary is looking to build on its human characters.

Dever will be joined by Dan Stevens, Jack O’Connell, Matthew Modine, Delroy Lindo, Alycia Debnam-Carey and Sam Neill.

Specific plot details remain under wraps, but we do know that the story will focus on "Godzilla and Kong as they face off against a cataclysmic world-ending threat."

Sputore doesn't have much experience, having come from the world of commercials, but he does have one feature under his belt: The 2019 sci-fi movie I Am Mother starring Hilary Swank.

Callaham has previously worked on several major studio projects, including the 2021 Mortal Kombat reboot, Wonder Woman 1984, Marvel Studios' Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, and Sony Pictures' Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. He also has some prior experience with Big G, having written the early drafts and received story by credit on 2014’s Godzilla.

Godzilla x Kong wasn't a big hit with critics (54% on Rotten Tomatoes), but it did pretty well at the box office, taking in close to $555 million worldwide.

Space Godzilla…??
NANI?!

Latverian - 5/9/2025, 4:15 PM

@MahN166A -

Supe~esu no Gojira!

ProfessorWhy - 5/9/2025, 3:35 PM

That's a great cast.... I'll watch this, but I hope they take it down a notch from the last one, or crank it up 2 notches and throw in Gamera

grif - 5/9/2025, 3:54 PM

@ProfessorWhy - gameras like the poor cousin for some reason. not sure why he does not get more press

ProfessorWhy - 5/9/2025, 4:06 PM

@grif - they are terrified of the extraterrestrial terrapin

RolandD - 5/11/2025, 6:54 AM

@ProfessorWhy - The original Gamera was from a rival studio so who knows who has the rights to him now

MotherGooseUPus - 5/9/2025, 3:37 PM

give me more of this guy

and less Kong please.

i did enjoy the last 2. curious to see where this movie goes but there is a plethora of toho monsters they can use. personally hoping for some version of destroyah or biollante to be the big bad this time

Arthorious - 5/9/2025, 4:51 PM

@MotherGooseUPus - agreed, the G-man needs more screen time

MotherGooseUPus - 5/9/2025, 5:02 PM

@Arthorious - I didn't mind the kong arc in the last movie...but I feel godzilla got shafted and I do Not want to see that happen again

Typhoon20 - 5/10/2025, 6:42 AM

@MotherGooseUPus - For me I'm the exact opposite. I do not understand people's love with Godzilla he's like a robot just a OP monster with nothing else I can latch unto as a viewer. Whereas Kong has many humanistic tendencies and there's emotion there you can get invested in.The best thing for me has been seeing Kongs search for his own people and their complications within.But that's just me.

MotherGooseUPus - 5/10/2025, 1:23 PM

@Typhoon20 - idk, maybe cuz I grew up watching Godzilla as a kid and loved all the toho movies .. I don't need to understand a character to want to see more of him and what his purpose/role is

Slotherin - 5/10/2025, 6:03 PM

@MotherGooseUPus - I liked the last 2 and wholeheartedly agree... It wouldn't hurt them to do some solo monster films before regrouping for another team up.

Slotherin - 5/10/2025, 6:06 PM

@Typhoon20 - I get that. I think it's part of why I was okay with his screentime in 2014 and GxK; it's less about the screentime and more about what you do with it... And they have done a lot with him so far.
I also liked Kong's arch a lot.
I personally want to see the Monsterverse do some more solo stuff before returning to a team up, maybe even find a way to do some monster movies that aren't even about Godzilla or Kong though either could still show up if it makes sense.

grif - 5/9/2025, 3:40 PM

the names of the movies are now as bad as the movies themselves

dragon316 - 5/9/2025, 10:29 PM

@grif - compare to some japan names son of Godzilla

BeyondTheGrave - 5/9/2025, 3:40 PM

2027? Thats...well bit far out aint it?

KaptainKhaos - 5/9/2025, 3:52 PM

LET'S GOOOOOOOOO BIG MONKEY AND GRUMPY LIZARD IN SPAAAAAAAAAAAACE

HagridsHole1 - 5/9/2025, 3:56 PM

These films, to me are essentially what the Transformers flicks are. You don't need to think, at all. You get to watch a big monkey use a baby monkey as a weapon and watch it be yeeted about the place with some admittedly pretty cool CGI. So I'm game, I guess

kylo0607 - 5/9/2025, 4:39 PM

@HagridsHole1 - Except they didn't start as generic Transformers-like flicks, but as great monster films.

Godzilla '14, King of the Monsters and Kong Skull Island were great.

How anyone enjoys GvK, The New Empire and the PS3 cutscene that those 2 films became is beyond me.

How did we get from this:

To this:

But hey, keep paying for this crap and don't wonder why they are bringing Godzilla to space lol.

Arthorious - 5/9/2025, 5:01 PM

@kylo0607 - fast and furious treatment: from street racing and stolen items to using cars to fight each other, heist, explosions, etc.

HagridsHole1 - 5/9/2025, 6:04 PM

@kylo0607 - Okay, I shan't 🥳

dracula - 5/9/2025, 10:21 PM

@HagridsHole1 - nah they arent thst bad

They are fast and furious movies at this point

TrentCrimm - 5/10/2025, 9:07 AM

@kylo0607 -

God I almost forgot how bad that was. Godzilla v Kong was hot garbage in almost every sense.

MahN166A - 5/10/2025, 5:22 PM

@kylo0607 -

Will definitely keep paying for this “crap”!
Since Gareth Edwards’ 2014 Godzilla, no one gives a shit about the human element of these Monsterverse films. The more action and Kaiju battles we see, the better.
The only thing that we have gotten that had a huge amount of substance (lately) behind the human element was the Monarch series and Toho’s Shin & Minus One.

Some of you, acting like Toho’s Kaiju films weren’t silly and without substance at some point or another. Obviously they are the superior brand of Godzilla to watch but even THEY TOO got stupid and silly with their films.

Slotherin - 5/10/2025, 6:10 PM

@kylo0607 - cuz it's entertaining.... And it kinda follows the movies that inspired them which started pretty serious and had more fun down the line.
No one is wondering about Godzilla going to space... Space shit was being set up since Skull Island.

Slotherin - 5/10/2025, 6:11 PM

@MahN166A - you get it.
Though I'd say you left out Skull Island (anime). That had some human stuff going on which worked.

MahN166A - 5/10/2025, 11:30 PM

@Slotherin -

I will have to try it out again. I had a hard time getting into it!

And yeah man, I don’t see how anyone watching these is expecting Toho level of depth with the humans.
And even with each era within Toho the essential core of Godzilla films is Kaiju fighting. And that is all people really truly cared for and associated with after the original 1954 Goji.

BlackStar25 - 5/9/2025, 4:14 PM

Shocking these movies don't make more.

TheVisionary25 - 5/9/2025, 4:21 PM

Cool , I kinda dig the title!!.

Given the subtitle being “Supernova” , I wonder if we are getting a cosmic threat in this like SpaceGodzilla or Gigan….

Also this may be nothing but given we hear just Godzilla’s roar at the end , perhaps this could be more focused on him rather then the last 2 which were about Kong mostly?.

Anyway , I know these movies are not necessarily known for their human characters but that’s a pretty good cast!!.

MrDandy - 5/9/2025, 4:23 PM

Go nuts with this! These movies have gotten so stupid. Just keep going further.

dragon316 - 5/9/2025, 10:32 PM

@MrDandy - that’s why it’s called entertainment For reason what you want from entertainment politics talk definition of entertainment is have fun with it not take it seriously same situation as comic book movies and comic books

Slotherin - 5/10/2025, 6:13 PM

@dragon316 - there's space for both. It's kind of insulting to comic books with serious themes and happenings to act like all comic stuff needs to be one way...

TheVisionary25 - 5/9/2025, 4:28 PM

Monsterverse ranking (favorite to least)…

1.Kong:Skull Island
2.GxK/GvK/Godzilla
3.Godzilla:King of The Monsters

Slotherin - 5/10/2025, 6:16 PM

@TheVisionary25 - hmmm....
That's seriously a hard one for me.
I've loved them all so far.
While it's a shame to me that they're jumping straight to another team up, I'm digging that it seems they'll be leaning into the extraterrestrial that they've been hinting at for some time.

Godzilla2000Zer - 5/9/2025, 4:32 PM

SpaceGodzilla and Gigan

RitoRevolto - 5/9/2025, 4:38 PM

Hopefully it's better than the last two. The cast is better at least.

SuperCat - 5/9/2025, 4:54 PM

rychlec - 5/9/2025, 5:06 PM

Gigan has a unique and cool design in pretty much all of iterations. Space Godzilla is a chonky, shoulder-padded copy of the Big G... so not as interesting.

Scarilian - 5/9/2025, 5:33 PM

@rychlec -
I think it'll be a Dragon-like Kaiju if they follow the tease from the previous film:
