One “king” to rule them all as Warner Bros. Pictures releases the official final theatrical trailer for their upcoming giant monster battle royale blockbuster Godzilla: King of Monsters. View trailer below.

Following the global success of “Godzilla” and “Kong: Skull Island” comes the next chapter in Warner Bros. Pictures’ and Legendary Pictures’ cinematic MonsterVerse, an epic action adventure that pits Godzilla against some of the most popular monsters in pop culture history.  The new story follows the heroic efforts of the crypto-zoological agency Monarch as its members face off against a battery of god-sized monsters, including the mighty Godzilla, who collides with Mothra, Rodan, and his ultimate nemesis, the three-headed King Ghidorah.  When these ancient super-species—thought to be mere myths—rise again, they all vie for supremacy, leaving humanity’s very existence hanging in the balance.

I have to say that I’m getting more and more interested in seeing this movie. Much like what I said before (from the previous trailer released), I thought that both 2014’s Godzilla and 2017’s Kong: Skull Island (which are both set within the same cinematic universe) were just okay movie endeavor. It had all the right makings of a blockbuster feature, but something just lacked in those two films. That being said, this movie definitely does have a lot going for it and this new trailer sports a ton of new footage, showcasing full-on giant monster battle with several classic creatures. There’s still a chance that this movie could flop (and be a big disappointment), but (for what it’s worth), Godzilla: King of Monsters is shaping up to be a grand ole giant monster battle royale….and that’s a good thing.
