We're less than two weeks away from seeing Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire rampage into theaters, and a new Chinese trailer and poster for the Godzilla vs. Kong sequel has just rampaged online (via SFFGazette.com).
In that, we see even more new Titans, one of which is shown battling Godzilla, and the monstrous Skar King. He'll be the titular duo's main opponent in the movie and looks suitably formidable. We also see the pint-sized Suko, a Titan believed to be the villain's son who will likely align himself with Godzilla and Kong.
Visually, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire looks like a wild ride for Kaiju fans and, while many fans miss the grounded nature of movies like Godzilla and Kong: Skull Island, the promise of all this monster vs. monster action should more than satisfy the majority!
Earlier this year, director Adam Wingard was asked about the franchise's monstrous big bad, the Skar King, and teased, "What’s interesting about this new film is that we go in a direction that I don’t think this series has ever seen before, which is that the Skar King is, in a way, the closest that the human threat has ever been juxtaposed onto a titan itself."
"The Skar King almost represents an upscaled version of the worst parts of humanity, just as Kong represents some of the best parts of humanity," the filmmaker added. "I would say the Skar King is the greatest threat that we’ve seen in these movies. It’s really going to take a full team together to bring it down because it’s too big for just one titan!"
