Description[edit | edit source]

“ This latest entry follows up the explosive showdown of Godzilla vs. „

Kong with an all-new cinematic adventure, pitting the
almighty Kong and the fearsome Godzilla against a colossal
 undiscovered threat hidden within our world, challenging their very
existence – and our own. The epic new film will delve further into the
histories of these Titans, their origins and the mysteries of Skull
Island and beyond, while uncovering the mythic battle that helped forge
these extraordinary beings and tied them to humankind forever. [11]

Plot[edit | edit source]

In 2027, three years after he and Godzilla destroyed Mechagodzilla and

made an uneasy truce, Kong races through a Hollow Earth plain, pursued by
over two dozen ravenous Wart Dogs. He stops and turns when he reaches
the edge of a cliff, roaring defiantly. The first Wart Dog to charge at him falls
into a trapping pit of his own making and is impaled on massive spears.
Next, he lifts a tree stump to activate a rock slide trap, crushing most of the
others. Only three remain, and he convinces them to retreat by grabbing a
Wart Dog carcass and ripping it in half, showering himself in its blood. After
washing himself off, he prepares to dine on the Wart Dogs, but is struck with
pain in his infected tooth. The reptilian Titan Doug tries dragging away one of
the carcasses; he takes notice and a brief struggle ensues, but he lets it go
after hearing what sounds like the roar of another of his kind. He follows the
noise and is dejected to find that it was only a Parrot Frog mimicking him.

Dr. Ilene Andrews, an anthropological linguist working for Monarch, is now

the organization’s Head of Kong Research. In a flurry of speaking
engagements and media appearances, she explains that the Hollow Earth
remains mostly unmapped; Kong is enjoying his new home but futilely
searching for others of his species, unaware that he is the last of kind; and
he and Godzilla will remain at peace with each other so long as he stays
underground and Godzilla remains on the surface.

The King of the Monsters continues to defend humanity against hostile

Titans. When Scylla attacks Rome, Italy, he rushes to confront her. After they
charge at each other, he throws her into a building, then leaps at her to pin
her. She constricts his face with tentacles, but he retaliates by firing atomic
breath into her mouth, blasting her into pieces.

At Monarch Outpost 1 in the Hollow Earth, agents watch a news report on

Godzilla curling up in the Colosseum to sleep. They suddenly detect seismic
activity beneath the area where Kong fought the Wart Dogs; the fallen rocks
there collapse into a pit. The outpost is also affected by electrical anomalies,
which briefly causes a signal comprised of three spikes to appear on a
monitor.
At a Monarch base in Barbados, built around a vortex leading to the Hollow
Earth, Andrews’s adopted daughter Jia experiences a vision in which she sees
flashes of Godzilla, pyramids, and an unfamiliar primate Titan. When the
vision ends, she realizes she has been scribbling the same three-spike
pattern on her math test and desk. Andrews meets with her teacher, who
tells her that Jia’s grades are faltering and she is socially isolated. Andrews
reminds her that Jia is the sole surviving member of her tribe and still
adjusting to the world outside of Skull Island, then reflects that she’s having
trouble connecting with her too. After school, Andrews finds her watching
Kong on a tablet, and Jia laments that she doesn’t belong anywhere. Her
mother reassures her that they belong together. At home, Andrews watches
a Monarch archive file on the near-total destruction of the Iwi when shifting
storm patterns overtook Skull Island and Jia’s rescue, in which Kong played a
part. She realizes that the pattern Jia drew at school matches the one
Monarch experienced in the Hollow Earth. While the agents at Outpost 1
sleep, an ape monster approaches their location, taking out security cameras
and staring into the lens of the last one.

Jia wakes up from another vision, this one involving a pair of glowing blue
eyes. Andrews finds her holding the Kong doll she made as a child, and she
tells her she feels like she’s going crazy. Andrews travels to Miami to find
Titan Truth Podcast host Bernie Hayes. Having just started recording, he’s
angered by her knocking, but brightens immediately when she identifies
herself. He agrees that the patterns in Jia’s drawings and the signals Monarch
has received match, which the organization’s own analysts have written off
as coincidence. She explains that she came to him because of his reputation
for unorthodox thinking. After he laments that Monarch’s refusal to confirm
his role in defeating Mechagodzilla damaged his credibility online, Andrews
offers to take him to the Hollow Earth in exchange for his help. Receiving an
alert on her phone that Godzilla has awakened, she rushes him out the door.

Godzilla departs Rome. At the same time, Kong emerges from the Hollow
Earth portal in Barbados, in even greater pain from his infected tooth.
Though Godzilla appears to be unaware of his presence on the surface,
Monarch rushes to respond. After they sedate Kong, fearless Titan
veterinarian Trapper Beasley drops down from an aircraft, removes the tooth,
and replaces it with a metal one. Afterwards, he catches up with Andrews,
who pressed him to take himself more seriously in college. When she
mentions Jia’s struggles, he tells her not to worry to much, as she has a great
mom. Jia urges Kong to rest.
After a trip to Monarch’s research library, Hayes finds records of similar
signals at major points in Titan history. He believes Godzilla is aware of the
signal, which is in reality a psychic distress call. Hampton authorizes a small
team to investigate: Andrews, Beasley, and ill-tempered pilot Mikael. Jia
convinces Andrews to let her join them, feeling the call is meant for her and
reminding her mother that she can help with Kong. Hayes guilts Andrews into
letting him ride along as well. They follow Kong through the portal in a
redesigned Hollow Earth Aerial Vehicle (HEAV), the experience terrifying
Hayes. The craft encounters a flock of Vertacines, winged creatures with
electrical powers. Beasley activates the HEAV’s biomimicry camouflage,
causing the hull to imitate the yellow-and-black patterns on their skin.

Godzilla raids a nuclear facility in Montagnac, France, absorbing the radiation

he releases and glowing with power. French drones bombard him with
missiles, but he dispatches them with a nuclear pulse. Hampton relays the
incident to Andrews, though the HEAV flies out of range before they can
finish. They find Outpost One in ruins and all of the staff dead. Beasley finds
an intact security camera, while Andrews notices a giant ape handprint on a
nearby wall—one not belonging to Kong.

Wielding his battle axe, Kong explores the chasm that opened beneath the
rock slide. He lands in a cavern with numerous mammoth crystals, skulls of
other monstrous apes—and, behind a waterfall, an unexplored second layer
of the Hollow Earth. A massive form shrouded in mist approaches him and he
prepares for a fight, only to find Suko, a nervous young ape roughly a third
his height. Setting his axe down, Kong extends a hand to Suko and he
appears ready to accept it, only to lunge forward and bite Kong’s finger. Kong
chases after him, but is set upon by three larger apes. Two hold him down
while another approaches with a club. Kong hits one with a rock and moves
the other into the path of the club, then catches the club on its second swing
and throws its wielder into another ape. He clubs the third ape, charging him
with his axe. Before he can pick up the blade, Suko launches himself at his
face. Kong grabs the young ape and uses him to club two apes, then throws
him at the third. After beating one ape to death, he flips another off a cliff,
only to catch him before he can fall and pull him back up. The ape
immediately grabs a knife, forcing Kong to kick him off the cliff. The last ape
flees, with Kong hitting him on the head with a rock as he runs. After pulling
Suko out of the foliage and roaring furiously at him, Kong offers Suko one of
the apes’ knives, but he declines, instead leading Kong in the direction the
apes came from.
Andrews recovers the footage from the camera, showing Beasley the shot of
the attacking ape’s eye moments before the HEAV receives another distress
call. It briefly loses power, but Mikael pulls it back into the air. Jia identifies a
ridge point as the source of the call. Mikael lands the HEAV and the team
begins a trek through a forest, Bernie narrating the scene as he films.
Trapper soon senses a dangerous presence ahead and urges them to reroute,
but Mikael rudely storms ahead and is promptly eaten by a creature
resembling a fallen tree. The others flee. Beasley tries to console a shaken
Hayes, quoting Tennyson in calling nature “red in tooth and claw,” but only
convinces Hayes that something is wrong with him.

Godzilla departs Europe by way of Cádiz, Spain, with fighter jets unable to
approach him due to the sheer amount of radiation he’s emitting. A U.S.
Navy submarine reports that he’s approaching Tiamat’s icy lair in the Arctic
Ocean, the largest stockpile of energy on the planet due to the electrically
charged solar winds it absorbs.

Jia discovers Iwi ruins, centuries older than those on Skull Island. The team
ascends a staircase, where they find a mural of Mothra. Jia realizes the ruins
are her temple. A glowing dragonfly leads her to a stone button which she
presses to trigger a still-functional irrigation system. They follow the flow of
water to a strange, rippling barrier. After Beasley tests it, Jia pulls apart a
section to create an opening, and the team steps through.

Kong and Suko watch a flock of Warbats hunt Hellhawks. Suko leads Kong to
a lake and splashes around to attract a gigantic eel who promptly attacks
Kong. He keeps its jaws at bay with the handle of his axe as Suko runs away.
Its coils catch his hand before he can swing the axe and it briefly pulls him
underwater before they surface. After killing the creature, Kong throws his
axe into Suko’s path, tripping him, then tosses its head in front of him. As
evening falls, Kong feasts on the eel, offering one slice to a hungry but still
wary Suko.

Godzilla fires his atomic breath into Tiamat’s domain, narrowly missing the
submarine. She quickly emerges and constricts him. He rips off a chunk of
her flesh; she answers by biting his neck and trying to smother him with her
cranial fins. But the fins fails to stop him from unleashing a fatal blast of
atomic breath. Chunks of the slain Titan float to the surface. Now unopposed,
Godzilla enters her lair.

As Andrew’s group ascends a tall flight of stairs, Jia tells them they’re not
alone, though they see no one. Beasley draws a knife, and just as quickly
puts it away when a group of camouflaged Iwi warriors surround them. They
bring them to a village when massive glowing pyramids, three on the ground
and three on the ceiling, loom overhead. Jia is amazed to discover she can
hear the thoughts of the other Iwi. Andrews is equally stunned to see
multiple vortexes to the surface on the ceiling. The Iwi Queen soon appears
and orders Jia brought to her, despite the protests of the rest of the group. Jia
shares her memories of her people with the queen telepathically, and she
signals for her guards to stand down. Jia confirms to Andrews that the
distress call came from the Iwi. Hayes questions what a civilization that
survives in the Hollow Earth could be afraid of.

Suko leads Kong across a bridge, made from the bones of a monster far
larger than any on record, towards a volcanic area. The Iwi Queen brings
Andrews’s team to a room covered in Iwi historical writings, which the
linguist translates. It describes harmony between the Hollow Earth and the
surface, with the Titans protecting nature and the Great Apes defending
humanity. One such ape, the malevolent Skar King, sought to conquer the
surface and led his tribe into battle against Godzilla. The King of the
Monsters barely survived the war, but ultimately sealed the apes away in a
fiery Hollow Earth realm, where their leader still plots his revenge.

Kong and Suko arrive in a large cavern full of other apes toiling away. As they
walk amongst them, Suko acknowledges the survivor of their fight with Kong.
When a guard pummels an ape for dropping a stone, Kong intervenes,
helping the ape up and knocking out the guard with one punch. The Skar
King is soon alerted and emerges from his chamber to take stock of Kong.
The other apes bow before him and join his laughter at Kong’s metal tooth,
even a reluctant Suko. Skar King nonetheless confronts the young ape,
kicking the ape who fought Kong into a lava pit when he stands between
them. Suko cries out in sorrow and Kong bellows a challenge to the tyrant.
Skar King proves a nimble opponent, and his Whipsash has far greater range
than Kong’s axe. He disarms Kong, then tries choking him out with
the Whipslash. Kong flips him over his shoulders and throws him back,
prompting the Skar King to call upon his ultimate weapon: a chained dragon-
like Titan, who towers over Kong. He orders her to attack Kong using the blue
crystal at the end of his Whipsash, and though reluctant, she gives into the
pain the device causes. Kong evades her ice breath, then tries blocking it
with his axe, but it fails to absorb the ray. His right hand covered in ice, he’s
forced to drop the axe. Suko points out an exit, and he takes it, dodging
another blast. Skar King hoists Kong’s axe in victory and orders his apes to
give chase.
Reading further, Andrews identifies the dragon Titan as Shimo, whose powers
caused the last Ice Age. She realizes the Iwi sent the distress call because
they anticipated that Kong, searching for his kind, would soon discover the
Skar King’s army; Godzilla is preparing for war for the same reason. The Iwi
writings close with a prophecy: at the end of the world, an Iwi from Skull
Island will come to her people’s defense by summoning Godzilla’s steadfast
ally Mothra. They all realize this can only be referring to Jia.

Kong leads a group of apes back to his hunting grounds, dispatching two with
more of his traps—but the rest step over the vine that would activate his rock
slide trap. Backed into a corner, his right hand frostbitten, Kong nonetheless
prepares to fight, until suddenly the rocks fall on their own, crushing the
apes. Kong looks up to see Suko, who beats his chest in triumph. As they
walk away, Suko supporting Kong, one ape digs himself out of the rock pile.
Inside a block of ice, Godzilla continues absorbing the energy in Tiamat’s lair.

Andrews watched Jia quickly fit it amongst the Hollow Earth Iwi, reflecting to
Beasley that she promised herself to sacrifice whatever was necessary to
give Jia a good life. She’s realizing now that she may have to give up Jia
herself. Hayes and Beasley watch a team of Iwi lift a huge stone, the result of
gravity manipulation by way of the pyramids. Beasley discourages Hayes
from sharing the Iwi’s civilization with the surface, reminding him that
isolated communities never prosper when the outside world finds them. He
reassures him that even if some people online don’t believe he helped save
the world, it’s an accomplishment that can’t be taken away from him.

The Iwi open their barrier to let in Kong and Suko, allowing the ape who
survived the rock slide to glimpse their realm. Kong collapses from
exhaustion, but sits up to touch a finger to Jia’s hand. He signs to her that he
lost his home. The ape reports back to Skar King, who leads his army off to
war, riding atop Shimo. An evolved Godzilla bursts out of the ice, spikier and
emitting a pink intimidation display.

Inspecting Kong’s frostbite, Beasley proposes returning to Outpost One to

bring back the prototype from Project Powerhouse. Andrews explains to
Hayes that the project was a post-Mechagodzilla effort to empower Kong
against any other malevolent Titan that might arise. He flies the
prototype B.E.A.S.T. Glove over to Kong and it fits itself around his damaged
hand. After receiving injections from the glove to heal his frostbite, Kong
struggles to climb up a hillside, but soon adjusts to the device, testing its
electrical powers by pounding the ground. Suko returns with a warning that
Skar King’s army is on the way. Jia asks Kong to seek out Godzilla for help,
and he heads for a portal.

Kong emerges next to the Giza pyramids near Cairo, Egypt. Godzilla senses
his presence immediately, leaping off the Rock of Gibraltar and swimming
towards him. Jia ascends the steps to the top of the Iwi pyramid and extends
a hand, causing Mothra to materialize before her. She departs for the same
portal as Kong. The Iwi Queen orders the village evacuated, and Trapper asks
Andrews permission to gather reinforcements.

Godzilla makes landfall in Cairo, tackling Kong into the Great Pyramid as he
tries gesturing towards the vortex. Kong throws sand in Godzilla’s eyes, only
to be slammed into the pyramid again and suplexed. Fed up, he dodges a
stomp and unleashes a flurry of blows with the aid of the glove. He drags a
dazed Godzilla towards the portal, but is forced to let him go as he unleashes
his atomic breath, which slices through a pyramid. Godzilla pins Kong and
prepares to finish him with another blast. Just in time, Mothra intervenes,
knocking Godzilla off him. Jia, standing atop the Great Sphinx, stands face-to-
face with Godzilla, and the pair calm him. The three monsters all release
their battle cries.

The Iwi release a liquid metal to force together the two largest
electromagnetic pyramids, which will unleash a brief antigravity shock wave
when they collide. Shimo’s ice breath and Skar King’s axe breach the barrier,
and she fires on the gap between the pyramids, preventing them from
touching. Beasley returns with a flock of Vertacines, having used the HEAV’s
camouflage to lure them. They briefly hold back Skar King’s army, buying
Beasley time to land and pick up a gleeful Hayes, Andrews, the Iwi Queen,
and one of her guards before Shimo shoots the creatures down. Godzilla and
Kong launch from the vortex and charge towards the army as the ice
between the pyramids shatters and they resume moving. Kong hops on
Godzilla’s back, then launches himself at Skar King while Godzilla pounces
toward Shimo. Before they can reach each other, the pyramids collide, and
the ensuing shock wave sends all the monsters floating through the air.

Godzilla fights off a few apes before reaching Shimo. Kong blocks Skar King’s
weapons with the glove. Mothra saves the malfunctioning HEAV from an ape
with a blast of webbing, then disables two more. Another ape attacks Kong
from behind, but Suko repels him with a pair of boulders. Shimo freezes
Godzilla, but Mothra interrupts her, allowing him to shatter the ice and
resume his attack. The antigravity wave starts to wear off, sending all the
monsters falling. Skar King launches himself towards a vortex, followed by
Godzilla, Shimo, and Kong, who loses his axe in the process. Mothra catches
the HEAV and sets it down safely. Suko kicks the ape off a crystal cliff to his
death.

The Titans emerge in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, with Shimo’s arrival freezing an
incoming wave. Skar King roars hatefully at the humans below, then orders
Shimo to fire her ice beam at the sky, generating clouds that block out the
sun. As she trains it on the city, Kong and Godzilla attack their counterparts
in unison. Skar King spits out a tooth from the blow, causing Kong to smile.
He delivers a flying kick to Skar King, but Shimo blocks his next blow with a
swing of her tail. Godzilla blocks her charge in turn.

Suko dislodges Kong’s axe and passes through the portal with it. Skar King
throws the top of a building at Kong with the Whipsash, but the glove
destroys it. He kicks Kong into Shimo, who drags him through the city before
firing her ice beam at him, his glove barely managing to block it. Godzilla
interrupts Skar King’s gloating with a powerful blast of atomic breath. He
dodges and tries retaliating with the Whipsash, but Godzilla catches it in his
jaws, throws him, and bites off the tip, sending the crystal clattering to the
ground. Skar King only briefly recovers it as Godzilla’s atomic breath chases
him through the city. Godzilla then fires at Shimo, while Skar King tries to
stop Kong from reaching the crystal, choking him from behind. But he’s
unable to stop Suko from shattering it with a wide swing of the axe, the
ensuing shockwave staggering all five combatants. Skar King tries taking
Suko hostage, but Kong punches him while he’s looking at Shimo, freeing the
young ape. Kong throws Skar King to Godzilla, who tail whips him back into
Kong’s waiting glove. He tries to command Shimo, but with the crystal gone,
she looks to Godzilla instead. On his signal, she freezes Skar King solid. Still
alive, he can only watch as Kong slams him into the ground, shattering him
into pieces. Godzilla fires his atomic breath into the sky, dispelling the clouds
as Shimo watches in awe. Mothra celebrates overhead.

Mothra returns Jia to Andrews. She tells Jia that she would support her
staying with the Iwi instead, but her daughter assures her that they’ll
continue to do everything together, and that she’s her real home. They
embrace as an emotional Hayes and Beasley look on.

Mothra seals the barrier with her silk and flies away elsewhere in Hollow
Earth. Andrews’s team say their goodbyes to each other and the Iwi. Godzilla
returns to the Colosseum for another nap. Kong and Suko, now riding atop
Shimo, return to the Skar King’s cave to declare their freedom, and the
jubilant apes roar along with them.

Development[edit | edit source]

On April 27, 2021, The Hollywood Reporter published a story which alleged
that Legendary Pictures were in talks with Godzilla vs. Kong director Adam
Wingard to direct another Monsterverse movie, with Son of Kong a potential
title.[12]

Close to a year later on March 20, 2022 (the 21st in Australia), Australian
news outlet The Courier Mail broke the news on a new Monsterverse film set
to shoot in the country.[13] The same day, the Australian government's Office
for the Arts reported that the film would begin production in July of that year,
and seemingly confirmed a focus on Kong. [14] On March 24, the 1291st issue
of Production Weekly confirmed Adam Wingard as director, along with
returning Monsterverse producers Mary Parent, Alex Garcia, and Eric McLeod.
The issue also provided a contact email, "monkeybusinesscvs@gmail.com,"
and connected it to the Son of Kong title.[15]

Deadline reported on May 12 that Dan Stevens will star in the film. [16] On May
19, Production Weekly #1299 reported the film's working title as Origins.[17]

On June 20, Gold Coast-based production company Village Roadshow Studios

seemingly alluded to the film on Instagram, posting that set construction was
underway for "the third instalment [sic] of the Kong films[.]" [18] On July 2, the
official English-language Godzilla site confirmed that Godzilla would appear
in the film, though it did not give any details on the extent of his role. [19]

On August 25, Collider reported that Terry Rossio would be returning to write
the screenplay for the new film after previously collaborating on the story
for Godzilla vs. Kong, and would be joined by Jeremy Slater and Simon
Barrett. The report also confirmed that Rebecca Hall, Brian Tyree Henry, and
Kaylee Hottle would be reprising their roles from the previous film, with Fala
Chen, Alex Ferns, and Rachel House joining Dan Stevens as new cast
members. Furthermore, Collider provided a new synopsis which suggested
that Godzilla would be joining forces with Kong once again to battle a new
threat.[11]

Toho announced on December 13 as part of their future release lineup that

they will bring the movie to Japanese theaters in 2024. [3]

Production[edit | edit source]

Principal photography on the film commenced in Queensland, Australia's

Gold Coast on July 29, 2022, with suburban Surfers Paradise standing in for
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.[20] Both Kong: Skull Island and Godzilla vs.
Kong previously filmed in the state.[13]
Marketing[edit | edit source]

A teaser for the film was released on April 19, 2023, revealing its title and a
new simian Titan.[21]

On November 28, the official Instagram accounts for the film and for
the Monsterverse each posted a series of nine images depicting
the Kong handprints from Kong: Skull Island and Godzilla vs. Kong along with
the words "Something is coming."[22] A day later, the film's and Warner Bros.
Pictures' accounts jointly posted an illustrated poster of the simian Titan,
revealing its name to be Skar King through a hashtag.[23] On the next day,
two new individual posters of Godzilla and Kong were posted, both featuring
the tagline "Unite."[24][25]

On December 2, three new images from the film were revealed in a IGN
interview with Adam Wingard; the first showed Kong with his axe readying
himself for battle, the second showed Godzilla "frozen in the ice, evolving
into a powerful new form," and the third showed Ilene Andrews, Jia, and the
new character Trapper.[26] On December 3rd, a full-length trailer was
released, showcasing several new monsters and characters. [27] Photographs
of a Jada Toys display at Singapore Comic Con, held December 9-10, revealed
a remote-control Godzilla toy and stylized Metalfigs of Godzilla, Kong, Skar
King, and a new reptilian monster dubbed Shimo.[28] On February 14, a new
poster and a second, lengthier trailer were released, with the latter teasing
Shimo and Mothra.

On March 25, two gigantic sculptures of Godzilla and Kong were brought
to London for a day, with a 20-meter-long Godzilla swimming in the Thames

Warner Bros. originally dated Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire for release on
March 15, 2024, in the United States.[2] The studio moved Dune: Part Two to
that date on August 24, 2023, pushing Godzilla x Kong to April 12, 2024.
[36]
However, on January 9, 2024, Godzilla x Kong moved up to March 29,
filling the date previously held by Mickey 17.[9]

Potential sequel[edit | edit source]

Adam Wingard has expressed openness to the idea of directing a

third Monsterverse film, telling Deadline during Godzilla x Kong: The New
Empire's world premiere on March 25, 2024, "I think the seductive thing as a
filmmaker when you've done two movies is to complete it as this trilogy —
that's always what everybody expects. We'll see. It really depends on how
the movie does. I think that there's a lot of really cool ideas we have [about]
where we would go with it. I'm open to it and excited for what the future
brings."[37]

Trivia[edit | edit source]

 Adam Wingard is the first Monsterverse director to return for a second

film, having previously helmed Godzilla vs. Kong (2021).

 Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire is the first Monsterverse film to give
top billing to an actress (Rebecca Hall).

 This is the first Monsterverse film made without the involvement of

screenwriter Max Borenstein.

 The time between the domestic releases of this film, released in the
U.S. on March 29, 2024, and Godzilla Minus One, released in Japan on
November 3, 2023, is the shortest between two Godzilla movies in the
franchise's history, at 147 days.

 This is the first Godzilla film produced solely by American studios in

which Godzilla never visits the United States.

 This film is technically the first Godzilla movie to feature the letter "x"
in either its English or its Japanese title.

o The Japanese titles of Godzilla vs. Megaguirus, Godzilla Against

Mechagodzilla, and Godzilla: Tokyo SOS use the multiplication
sign (×) rather than the letter.
 o As is the case with the multiplication sign in Godzilla: Tokyo
SOS's Japanese title, the "x" in Godzilla x Kong is silent.[38][39]

 This film's initial rumored title, Son of Kong, is the title of the 1933
sequel to the original King Kong (1933).

 This film holds the record for the most Titans to appear in
a Monsterverse film outside of stock footage or text, with at least nine.

 This film marks the first time that an individual Titan other than
Godzilla or Kong has appeared in a second Monsterverse film, not
counting carcasses or stock footage; Mothra and Scylla return
from Godzilla: King of the Monsters and Doug returns from Godzilla vs.
Kong.

o This also makes Mothra the only Toho monster besides Godzilla
to appear physically and alive in more than one Monsterverse
film.

 Tiamat is the first original Monsterverse creature to first physically

appear in a comic, then feature in a film. She was first alluded to
in Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019), appearing as a name on
various Monarch maps.

o Tiamat is also the first original Titan introduced via name only
in Godzilla: King of the Monsters to appear in a film, as well the
first Titan introduced in that movie to have its name spoken in
dialogue.

 This is the first film in which King Kong and Mothra meet. Mothra was
previously only depicted in cave paintings in Kong: Skull
Island and Godzilla vs. Kong, with Kong limited to stock footage and a
name on Monarch maps in Godzilla: King of the Monsters.

o King Kong and Mothra almost crossed over once before in the
unmade 1966 film Operation Robinson Crusoe: King Kong vs.
Ebirah, which ultimately became the Godzilla film Ebirah, Horror
of the Deep.

 The pose Kong strikes while roaring with the B.E.A.S.T. Glove resembles
cover art for the 1994 fighting game Primal Rage.[40]

 The fight between Kong and the Skar King was inspired by a scene in
the 1973 film Emperor of the North Pole where the characters A-No.-1
and Shack fight with a fire axe and chains, respectively. [41]
 Godzilla sleeping in the Colosseum was inspired by Adam Wingard's cat
Mischief and her nest.[42]

 Godzilla's emergence from ice may be an homage to his introduction

in King Kong vs. Godzilla (1962).

 The image used for the blueprint of the B.E.A.S.T. Glove is the arm of
the Pacific Rim Jaeger Gipsy Danger.

 The fictional monster movie poster featured in Ford Brody's room

in Godzilla (2014) reappears in Bernie Hayes's recording room, along
with two figures from Playmates' Godzilla vs. Kong toyline.

 Episode titles of Hayes' Titan Truth Podcast make reference to Planet

X and Monster Island. Madison Russell was also shown to have been a
recent guest on the show, sharing her "Mothra twin moon base theory."

 Artist Christian Gonzalez, who previously illustrated covers for IDW

Publishing Godzilla comics, is given a special thanks in the film's
credits. Gonzalez drew the graffiti on a wall smashed by Godzilla,
[43]
including numerous Easter eggs: Hedorah's eyes next to the text
"Save the [Earth]", Jet Jaguar's arm next to the words "Punch! Punch!
Punch!", an Xilien UFO, the turtle-like Mysterious Bones, the Pacific
Rim kaiju Knifehead and Mothra's symbol. Gonzalez also illustrated a T-
shirt given to crew members, again including the Mysterious Bones,
along with a fossilized trilobite.[44][45]

 The film's credits thank Jeremy Allen Soles of Summit Kaiju

International, who previously sued Legendary Pictures due to the
design of Methuselah bearing similarities to his own kaiju Batholith. [46]

 A water bottle given to members of the film's production crew

mentioned a "Hollow Earth Advance Team," potentially a reference to
the Humanitarian Environmental Analysis Team (H.E.A.T.)
from Godzilla: The Series.[47]

 The electrical shock of Kong's B.E.A.S.T. Glove is likely a reference

to his 1962 counterpart's affinity for electricity.

 The Iwi writings refer to Godzilla as "the monster that ate a star,"
echoing a claim Jia previously made about him in in Godzilla vs. Kong:
The Official Movie Novelization when recounting an Iwi story she heard.
[48]
In the previous telling, however, Skar King and Shimo were not
referenced, and Godzilla forced the ape army that opposed him to
 withdraw to Skull Island instead of sealing them within the Hollow
Earth.

 This film is the second film in the Monsterverse to not feature a human
antagonist, with Godzilla (2014) being the first.

 Hayes complains about a troll account that frequently interacts with

him called "GhidorahStan64," with the number referencing the year of
the monster's film debut.

 When Godzilla makes landfall in Spain, a shot of an F/A-18

Hornet taking off from an aircraft carrier is reused from Godzilla: King
of the Monsters.

 This film marks the second time that Godzilla has been shown feeding
on the radiation from a nuclear power plant in a film,
following 1984's The Return of Godzilla.

 Bernie's outfit includes pins of Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster, and
a badge of a Velociraptor. The Velociraptor appears to originate from
the cover art of the 2002 video game Turok: Evolution.

 Phosphera, a cut monster that was created as a fail-safe in case the

rights to Mothra couldn't be obtained,[49] nonetheless appears as a
mural inside the Iwi temple.

 The name of every major Titan introduced in this movie begins with the
letter S.
