Is there a trailer for Godzilla vs. Kong: The New Empire?

The latest trailer for Godzilla vs. Kong: The New Empire arrived in February and featured a number of surprises – including a mechanical battle arm and the arrival of a baby Kong.

Watch below:

The official trailer for Godzilla vs. Kong: The New Empire has been released by Warner Bros. in December 2023.

The trailer shows Kong’s encounter with another creature – apparently a titan – and the threat of a formidable enemy.

There’s also a tease of a team-up between Godzilla and Kong to face a mutual enemy, though it’s unclear whether this is the fearsome mysterious titan or something else.

Before that, a short teaser was shared online that confirmed the film’s title while also giving off some sinister vibes. Even though it only lasts half a minute, we already have the feeling that something big is coming to knock Godzilla and Kong off their perch. Could it be a new Titan? It certainly seems like it.

What happens in Godzilla vs. Kong: The New Empire?

According to the film’s official synopsis: “This latest entry follows the explosive confrontation of Godzilla vs. Kong with an all-new cinematic adventure, pitting the almighty Kong and the fearsome Godzilla against a colossal undiscovered threat hidden in our world, challenging their very existence – and ours.

“The epic new film will delve deeper into the stories of these Titans, their origins and the mysteries of Skull Island and beyond, while revealing the mythical battle that helped forge these extraordinary beings and bound them to humanity forever.”
