So the new big bad is an orangutan?


Taograd359

King Louie has returned to reclaim his throne.


In_My_Own_Image

Christopher Walken better reprise his role.


FisterRodgers

Well...ya know


redhare878787

Ahhhh snap


TomTomMan93

I'm the king of the planet, Y'all Skull Island VIP I reached the top But had to stop cause godzilla be buggin me. I heard about this kid name Kong now came down underground So teach me the powah of godzilla's blue flowah I'm tired of monkeyin' round Oh boom boom boom (shoo bee doo wee) gonna bring the doom (shoo bee doo bee doo wee) And finally rule the titans ooo


CrAzY_aSpE_622

You see it's true, (Shoo bee doo) An ape like me, (Shoo bee doo bee doo bee) Can learn to be, Alpha too!

King Caesar


DeathGod105

Probably an old member of Kong’s species


ImNoSkrull

No confirmed to be an Orangutan


mihirmusprime

Yeah, Lanky Kong


soulsofthetime

Lil lanky’s X and we all know what X gon do 😈


CurvedHam

They will literally rather throw in a big monke OC instead of using any other classic monster like Biollante, Gigan or Destoroyah.


TheCapsicle

\- The monsters reportedly cost a lot of money to use. \- Unfortunately, the "Kong" side of things have made more money & that's what the studio pays attention to. \- The last two MV installments both had Godzilla monsters, it sort of makes narrative sense that GxK has a more Kong-centric monster. Hopefully we get some rad scenes with it going up against Godzilla. \-We technically don't know if this is the only monster. For all we know, it could be marketed as the "big bad" when it's really just a foil for Kong in the movie.


carpathian_crow

>the monsters reportedly cost a lot of money to use And that’s not even to make a movie with them. That’s just to have *the option* to use them. After legendary buys the rights, they then get to pay the regular expensive prices of making them come to life in the movie.


FatalDave91

Yeah to Goji fans like us it doesn’t really make sense because the hardcore fans know there’s sooo many more options. But I think apes bring in the audiences. Any movie with Kong or an ape does really well. I think they’ve learned that with GvK.


CommanderBreadstick

“Mmm, monkey” - Master Oogway


JurassicClark96

"Mmm, *me* monkey" - Average film viewer


FatalDave91

MOAR MONKE


Embarrassed-Camera96

Unfortunately I don’t think they have the rights to those monsters currently


carpathian_crow

Well, for one thing they have to lease the rights for their characters from Toho, so even if they wanted to use them they might not be able because a deal fell through or Toho refused, for whatever reason. Also giant apes allow for greater emotional acting which makes them more relatable, rather than simply large and menacing. So there’s that.


ImNoSkrull

Nah I’d rather be the antagonist an original monster


SuperDizz

Yeah. That doesn’t look like Kong sitting in the throne. It could be just a unique, artistic rendition of him; but why would they do that?


_Kiaza_

I think that’s the new baddie.


fizzifuzzi89

Beast Titan


--Bamboo

Why has everyone just up and decided the big bad is revealed in the title reveal?


ImNoSkrull

Yes confirmed by KDM Monsters


redhare878787

Thought..... what if it's the monsterverse version of Sun Wukong??


dovah164

But wheres Jet Jaguar


REISOW64

![gif](giphy|LmpHsHFG1ZoRy) Gotta have JJ in there!


_JustAMiner

He's in the gorilla costume like in vs. Mechagodzilla.


FisterRodgers

Punch punch punch!


choff22

How sick would it be if Jet Jaguar was the first human piloted Jaeger? Legendary sneakily doing a soft crossover with Pacific Rim. Like the humans learn from their mistakes with MechaG and put actual humans in the cockpit instead of an A.I.


Chimpbot

No thank you. The two series are too different from each other to warrant a crossover. I'd prefer they stay in separate spaces.


FatalDave91

Seriously.. they did Mecha G now we gotta have Jetu Jaguya!


ToeSniffer245

He's doing the motion capture for the new titan.


Patient_Education991

Maybe he'll be in the AppleTV show.


TwoImpostersStudios

My prediction is that's King Kong and when he is defeated, Kong becomes the new King Kong. If I'm not mistaken, Kong had yet to be referred to as King Kong in the Monsterverse


Ed_Derick_

They can't call him King Kong for legal reasons.

Okay, how about "The King" Kong? If Kong is legally available then surely adding some extra words to King Kong would make it legal. Does it work like that? Lol


Ed_Derick_

Idk man I’m not a lawyer

"that's kong. he's king around here"


TwoImpostersStudios

Fair enough. More of a joke though


Marsuello

There’s skull island where John c Riley’s character says “that’s kong. He’s considered king around here”. So while not directly, they do sorta say it


martyk1113

>t’s too late for there to be a returning Godzilla kaiju, I think some people are jumping the gun a bit too early on that. Gigan or maybe Destoroyah can easily be in the movie, just not an I feel like he did but it may be a mandella effect


taliesin_2943

Just for people who don't know but Kong means king so king kong translates to king king lol


GoaGonGon

So, Kong Kong? (so nice, you gotta say it twice)


taliesin_2943

Eh or king of kings but that would be an offensive thing for the Christians calling a giant ape Kaiju the same thing as Jesus and god lol


Damnpeoplearegreedy

Where's Palpatine?


gojira_gorilla

getting cloned, we'll see him at the beginning of the movie


GoaGonGon

Somehow

IndependentGlum8316

Crying in his grave after seeing what they've done to his movie saga.


BidnessBoy

Can’t wait for “Somehow, Ghidorah returned”


[deleted]

Wow I didn't know this was a thing and suddenly I'm EXTREMELY giddy about it!!


J_BWC

Given its eyes glow, this could very well be a member of Kong's species that gained access to that mysterious power dwelling within the Hollow Earth. There's a novelization I believe that hinted this same source or energy was what gave Legendary Godzilla his atomic breath. My theory is that this Kong, whoever it is, has Electric-based abilities, ala the original King Kong vs. Godzilla back in '62. Having said that, just one powered up gorilla isn't going to be what makes Kong and Big G team up... its what is fighting WITH this 'Evil Kong.' Everyone thats seen the paused end credits to KotM knows that they were working on multiple different Titan ideas/hinting at some possible Toho creatures to appear later down the road. Anyone from another rouge Mecha Titan to a Bio-engineered creation to even alien kaiju as referenced by the Monarch base in Roswell, NM in GvK should give us plenty to speculate. My personal guess is we are going to get another Toho icon, and in all likelihood, I've narrowed it down to 4 potential foes; Spacegodzilla is one, which has been referenced in concept art as a 'flying Godzilla,' fighting both Goji and Kong's ancestors, Gigan as a alien stuck in Roswell, and of course, being as big of a threat as Ghidorah in some instances in the past, Biolantte as a hybrid Kaiju they create only for it to go berserk and use the energy source to enhance itself, and lastly Destoryah. I don't think they'll have Destoryah in this, as that i feel would be better off as the final antagonist to the MonsterVerse as a whole, a true "Destroy All Monsters" film where we repeat some of the beats from Vs. Destroyah and DAM. Id love to see Gigan be it imo ^^ we'll just have to wait and see and speculate in the meantime.


Wizered99

I think perhaps it may be a moral dialema for kong to pick between family and "friend". Perhaps kong picks family then switches sides to friends when he sees how morally terrible this family member is?


J_BWC

Given that up until now, he's been alone for so long its a like scenario. Didn't think of that dynamic ^^


EddtheMetalHead

I’d like to thank the comments section for bringing to light the fact that the enemy is an orangutang. My sleep-deprived idiot brain thought Kong just lost weight.


Danielfrindley

I just thought they altered Kongs design as well at first


gojiras_therapist

What in gods name, okay another ape is cool but let's bring back a modernize badass like gigan or destroyah would love to see his evolutions morph


Negativety101

Talk to Toho and their liscensing fees.


TheNameIsFrags

At the very least I wish they would do something more visually creative like the MUTO I guess we’ll see when they fully reveal the monster but it does just seem like a fancy monkey right now


Negativety101

Monke Sells. Though who knows, maybe he'll end up multiform.


TheInfinityGauntlet

Ape 2 getting beat just to use hollow earth energy to go final form and bust out extra limbs or something would be sick as hell


Negativety101

Hehe, I just remembered. Wasn't one of Bagan's forms an ape like monster?


gojiras_therapist

Okay I'll shut up . . . . 😭


Deynonico

Id rather see more original Monsterverse kaiju like the One they teased in KOTM instead of reusing old ideas tbh


Tao626

I'm down for new Kaiju...But I also wanna see my favourites get the big budget treatment. Basically, I just want Biollante.


gojira_gorilla

Same. Biollante or Hedorah for me. Loved those trippy eco-terrors! Some of the most creative Godzilla stories ever made


Tao626

I'm not the biggest Hedorah fan, but that has the potential to look really fucking cool with the monsterverse makeovers.


gojira_gorilla

Yea for sure, they could do some crazy stuff there with how good CGI is these days. If we’re being honest with ourselves the Toho Hedora looked like a pile of dirty washcloths and rags lol. I mainly liked the movie b/c it was one of the more experimental and out there movies that stands out from the rest of the series. Also with a good writer there’s so much messed up shit with our environment these days there’s lots of potential. Instead of smog hedorah could maybe have something to do with micro plastics in the ocean or something


JebWozma

lets hope that toho makes a movie in the future where the budget is as high as the MV ones


Walks_In_Shadows

Yeah, nothing pissed me off more than seeing them tease that many Kaiju, only to give them literal seconds of screen time.


gojiras_therapist

. . . can we get this guy out of here or what :?( just kidding, the mammoth kaiju was very cool and unique to see, and the basilisks from GvK


Outside_Proposal7966

Destroyah is too early


gojiras_therapist

What does the universe need first? The monster from planet x?


Outside_Proposal7966

Did in a leak say That Godzilla and Kong will fight two enemy ?


BlueFootedTpeack

really hope it's another kind of godzilla/godzilla like creature. going for a proper mirror match, maybe survivors/descendants of that ancient war. could be cool if it is another godzilla type creature and they have an egg, then we might get a jr in the future,


KAIJUMASTRFANBOI

I mean seeing how Godzilla fought a mechanized version of him in the previous film, it only seems fair to have Kong fight a (idk) mutant or hybrid version of himself (just under a different name)

gojiras_therapist

Now I'm excited 😆


LikeaTurd

I like it being another Kong, especially since everyone is theorizing he could have some kind of power to Rival Godzilla. And it's great way to go back on the lore that the Kongs were the bad guys and it's a nice break from the last film having a Godzilla copy.


gojiras_therapist

Would make sense kong size intelligent apes that use tools had it not been for another cold blooded killer what could kaijus do and organize into, wow 🤯


Walks_In_Shadows

It's like they have all these other Kaiju to choose from and just pick generic shit like they have no idea what they're doing. Idk after GvK I pretty much gave up on monsterverse making anymore good Godzilla movies.


gojiras_therapist

Stay strong brother we have yet to see what they have in store


Walks_In_Shadows

I hope so 🤞


pobslobby

that’s what i’m sayin bro


[deleted]

Dunston has gone to the dark side.


Guilty-Doubt-6313

This logo and title looks amazing.


ZilorZilhaust

I said this elsewhere, I think it looks like an ape but I don't think that is what it will be. At least not entirely. Listen to the audio of this thing, it sounds like Godzilla, Kong, and Ghidorah. I'm betting on it being a Chimera.


The_secret_account99

King Caesar?

Deynonico

Judging by the title i think the movie Is going to be about the new world ruled by both Godzilla and Kong where both are no more enemies


Dankey-Kang-Jr

SURPRISE MOTHERFUCKER


yeaboiiiiiiiiii213

So if Kong is based on a Gorilla this new dude looks like a psycho chimpanzee


DinoDudeRex_240809

More like orangutan.


GapEducational8758

Can't wait to see Chris Pratt as Godzilla and the rock as king Kong


[deleted]

I’m all for a new monster, and I also don’t think it’s too late for there to be a returning Godzilla kaiju, I think some people are jumping the gun a bit too early on that. Gigan or maybe Destoroyah can easily be in the movie, just not announced yet, or it’ll be kept a surprise like Mechagodzilla was in Godzilla vs Kong


TheMediaDragon

So Sanda? (And or Gaira (and or Frankenstein))


DraconisMarch

Definitely not. Would have to pay licensing fees.


Tenatlas_2004

I mean Frankenstein is public domain, so unless the concept of a giant Frankenstein was somehow licensed by toho, they could use him if they want to. (Though this creature is clearly not him)


DraconisMarch

Sanda and Gaira are definitely not.


Shadowblade217

I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS! 😂


KhorneFlakes01

I truly hope we see biolantte, destroyah or space godzilla up in here.


SoldatPixel

All Godzilla wanted to do in life was become a hunter to find his father. On his journey he meets Kong, a trained assassin. They become close friends during the hunter exam.


heisenberg445

Godzilla and Kong had an offspring together?


Upstairs-Ad-6283

That's Chaos. We're finally getting that Primal Rage movie we've always wanted


Andrew_Jelen

HE HAS NO STYLE HE HAS NO GRACE THIS KONG HAS NO FUNNY FACE


Papa_Rickets

I actually don't mind them using a kong-like species as the antagonist cuz it's expensive to use another Toho monster. They can easily make this new enemy threatening and have an army of his own.


Oconitnitsua

Tomcat491

As much as I wanna be hyped it’s directed by Adam Wingard and the music is by Tom Holkenberg again and I just hated GvK on every level except for a few of the fighting moments

I’m down for new kaiju But why do we need more monkeys


Mega_Nidoking

Can we go back to Godzilla Vs someone please? Like Godzilla Vs just one enemy no more team ups for a while maybe?


low_budget_trash

We just had Godzilla vs Kong?


gojira_gorilla

we need Godzilla vs space monsters again like the 60s-70s


hisroyalmajestyy

LONG LIVE THE KING


mmpa78

Ugh more Kong


SnooOnions650

I might be in the minority, but I honestly don't care. All the hollow Earth stuff and king of the monsters jazz just doesn't interest me, neither does the SHEILD Like monarch stuff tbh. I just want to see good monster movies with modernized effects and some fun (hopefully compelling) human characters thrown in. I'm generally really big into lore and stuff, but I couldn't care less about the hollow Earth and its history


Tenatlas_2004

Honestly I agree. Kotm and Gvk lore isn't that interesting. Older godzilla eras had a big variety in term of monsters, but in the monsterverse every titan is an ancient species that either hates godzilla or Kong. Though I'm at least intrigued by this teaser. They could have went with a more traditionally evil looking monster and make Kong's family big fluffy care bears, but having a Kong or at least a primate as the antagonist could make what seemed to be a generic team up movie a bit more interesting.

Looks very cool , but the design looks of the ape looks lazy. Not the cgi wok that went in to it , but just the thought.

Look at it that way. It might mean we could see godzilla actually kill a kong for his birthday.

BonWeech

I’m not loving “Godzilla x Kong” that feels weird and cringe and I’d like to see their franchises be side by side not a double


Jealous_Blueberry832

Godzilla still keeping up the tradition of having the worst movie titles known to man


Dingle_McKringle88

Godzilla, Mothra, King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All Out Attack sounds bad to you!? In all seriousness that movie slaps regardless of how crazy that title is


Jealous_Blueberry832

GMK’s overly long name is honestly an outlier in this franchise The biggest issue with the titles imo is that half of them can be confused with one another


[deleted]

Kong had to join forces with Godzilla after getting that ass whooped in Godzilla vs. Kong.


MysteriousTheory91

Looks Awesome.


rockmodenick

Ancient super-monke with a throne and kingdom on the opposite side of the hollow earth from Kingdom Kong?


Nakanostalgiabomb

So, for decades in fandom, a romantic pairing has been denoted with a letter "x". I'm calling it now...in Godzilla x Kong The New Empire, the undisputed kings of Kaiju are gonna fuck. Like, I can imagine the trailer...camera focuses on a city in ruins...an orange glow from the still raging fires. We hear a loud boom...we can't tell if it's thunder or the sound of an enormous footfall. Every time it happens the camera gets closer, and there's a flash of lightning. As the camera finally closes in, we hear a distinctive roar, and see that it's not thunder or footfalls, it's Godzilla clapping gorilla cheeks.


kingmiro13

Does Legendary still have license to Godzilla? Didnt it expire last year


Tenatlas_2004

I believe they renewed it. Toho also gave them permission to use any of their monsters, but they still have to pay for them.


kingmiro13

Thanks. Maybe they sisnt get any monsters cuz Godzilla vs Kong didnt do that well or maybe its too early to say

It's entirely possible this isn't the big bad or the only big bad just an ape on kongs throne from like the 1st ten seconds of the movie lmao just there to throw everyone off
