It’s so laborious to maintain my thoughts completely centered on the 2025 film schedule when huge ticket thrills additionally lie past this calendar 12 months. As there are many motion pictures I’m trying ahead to within the months to come back, my love of the MonsterVerse has now been rewarded but once more, as new particulars on the subsequent movie have been launched.
Not solely can we now know the official title is now Godzilla x Kong: Supernova, the opposite particulars introduced have me forming some theories which are too good to not share.
The Newest Particulars On Godzilla x Kong: Supernova Have Given Us A Launch Date And Story Particulars
I would wish to take this time to offer a pleasant reminder to all of you MonsterVerse followers that March 26, 2027 is when the observe as much as Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire will likely be smashing into theaters! However now we now have a reputation to place to the subsequent Titan title match! As that information landed with a slightly neat video celebrating the beginning of manufacturing, this quick, however intriguing synopsis was supplied to stoke the fires a bit additional:
The subsequent entry will function a number of new human characters alongside the beloved and iconic Titans Godzilla and Kong as they face off towards a cataclysmic world-ending menace.
Whereas my colleague/fellow MonsterVerse stan Adam Holmes has shared considerations about Godzilla x Kong: Supernova’s human information, I feel it might imply one thing slightly constructive. Clearly no matter’s coming for the necks of Human and Titan alike goes to be so huge, it’s going to want our mixed forces to beat again into the darkness. That presumption alone has aided me in forming two theories on the place this mysterious rock ‘em sock ‘em journey may very well be going.
What do you consider once you hear the phrase “supernova?” In the event you’re like me, your thoughts routinely turns to the topic of area. That’s the almost certainly case, because the literal definition of the phrase within the Oxford Dictionary is that this:
A star that out of the blue will increase enormously in brightness due to a catastrophic explosion that ejects most of its mass.
To me, that selection in subtitle for the newest Godzilla x Kong entry appears like a deliberate clue that we’ll be seeing extra monsters from one other world exhibiting up in our world. In any case, supernovas can create black holes – a mechanic that among the greatest sci-fi motion pictures have used to journey forwards and backwards between factors in area and time.
That line of thought isn’t an alien idea, no pun meant, because it’s a part of the origin story given to King Ghidorah, a.okay.a. “Monster Zero,” in Godzilla: King of the Monsters. As this phenomenon has additionally been employed to journey to different universes, it feeds into one other principle. This one has some strong foundation in an adjoining franchise’s lore, which appears destined to connect with the MonsterVerse.
After That Latest Pacific Rim Information, My Hopes For A Potential Crossover Are Totally Fired Up
You must have seen this coming, readers. After Legendary’s Pacific Rim prequel collection announcement left the door open for extra cinematic entries in that exact canon, I mentally restarted the marketing campaign to make the kaijus and the Titans kiss… with their fists! I don’t assume it’s an excessive amount of of a stretch, seeing as Pacific Rim 3’s proposed plotline was mentioned to have “married the 2 universes” in its ending.
Additionally, Godzilla x Kong’s MechaGodzilla plot thread appeared to permit the people in that universe to develop a crude analog to the Drift Know-how that enables Jaegers to work. Throw in a handy plot system, like say Godzilla x Kong: Supernova’s subtitle pleasant distortion of time and area, and also you’ve received a strategy to make it occur, cap’n!
Godzilla and King Kong have already fought one another, in addition to joined forces to guard our species from the specter of the Hole Earth. Seeing as these two Titans are going full buddy cop on this subsequent installment, I’d say area is the place that menace ought to come from. Which signifies that the subsequent logical step is crossing the void between universes, and making us followers glad.
We’ll see what occurs when Godzilla x Kong: Supernova hits theaters on March 26, 2027. However within the meantime, maybe we’ll get some additional gasoline for the hearth from Monarch: Legacy of Monsters Season 2 – which can presumably land in some unspecified time in the future between now and the subsequent MonsterVerse image’s debut.
Additionally, for these of you who wish to report current Titan exercise in your nook of the world, don’t neglect to name (240)-MONARCH (666-2724). Your tip might save the lives of a whole continent or possibly even cancel the apocalypse.
