Ever since Godzilla vs Kong was first announced, fans have been wondering just how big the giant ape will be in Legendary and Universal's reboot.  In Peter Jackson's King Kong (2005) the beast was measured at 25 feet tall crouching and 50 feet tall standing.  That size would hardly prove a challenge for Gareth Edwards Kaiju King, who clocked in at 350 feet tall.  

Well, at CineEurope, Jordon Vogt-Roberts revealed that his King Kong will be twice the size of the 2005 version.  The mystery now is whether he meant standing on all-fours or on two legs?  According to THR, Roberts' exact statement was, "This is going to be the biggest Kong there's ever been.  Not 10 foot or 30 foot, but a 100-foot ape."  

Godzilla vs Kong is currently slated to his theaters on May 29, 2020.  Godzilla 2 is currently slated for release on March 22, 2019.  Just last month, it was announced that Gareth Edwards would not be returning to direct the sequel.  If rumors are to be believed, he's having a pretty difficult time on Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

@TheArkhamKnight - Except, isn't the Big G still 4x that size? As in 400-ish feet?

@TheArkhamKnight - No, he can't. One fire breath shot to the chest and it's over. The only reason King Kong had a chance the last time was because he got struck by lightning and, somehow, lightning makes King Kong stronger. They literally pulled that bulljive out of the air in that movie, because it's Godzilla who gets stronger when struck by lightning not Kong.

A 100-feet tall is still pretty far off if you want to fight something 350-ft tall.

@DallasAvenger - They'll shrink Godzilla, or simply have Kong be more agile so he's climbing up or over him.

@DallasAvenger - gorillas are crazy strong. They're 10x as strong as humans so so I assume it'll be a pretty even fight despite his size

I'm curious how this is going to work, because Godzilla has atomic breath and what can King Kong do to fight that?

@BlackIceJoe - Jump, climb and dodge?

@TheNewGuy123 - That is all l can think of too and it feels like a one sided battle in Godzilla's favor.

He's not even a 1/3 as tall as Godzilla, that poor Gorilla is going to get trounced by the King of Monsters.

Gorillas - 0

Assuming he meant 100 on all fours....200 is still not big enough to take on Godzilla. But I'll [frick]ing watch the hell out of that movie.
