First announced in October 2015, Godzilla vs. Kong <\/em>has been in the works for some time. Forming a shared cinematic universe between 2019\u2019s Godzilla: King of the Monsters<\/em> and 2017\u2019s Kong: Skull Island<\/em>, the film will see the two skyscraper sized titans battle it out, for currently unknown reasons. Filmed in November 2018, the movie was set to be released in November 2020 but was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, following Warner Bros\u2019 recent announcement that all of their 2021 slate of films will be partially released on the HBO Max streaming service, Godzilla Vs. Kong<\/em> gained a new released date: March 26, 2021<\/a>, less than two months away.<\/p>\n

Warner Bros. has just given fans their first proper look at the film, in the form of a trailer released on January 24, 2021<\/a>. Although the vast majority reacted warmly to this brief glimpse at the movie, praising its visuals and lack-of-spoilers (although criticizing its clich\u00e9 choice of song), a few fans reacted differently \u2013 to them, Godzilla vs. Kong<\/em> looks exactly like 2016\u2019s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Also released by Warner Bros., it\u2019s clear why some could innately find surface-level similarity between Batman v Superman<\/em> and Godzilla vs. Kong<\/em>: both films center around two hugely popular and powerful pop culture icons fighting in live-action for the first-ever time. However, following the release of the trailer, some more parallels between the two films have emerged, leading some enthusiasts to question whether these similarities are coincidence or not.<\/p>\n

For one thing, the rough structure of the two films looks to be largely the same; the two title characters will battle it out for the majority of the film, before reconciling and uniting to fight a new enemy in the climactic third act. In Batman v Superman<\/em>, this was the scientifically reanimated body of General Zod (the main antagonist from 2013\u2019s Man of Steel<\/em><\/a>), made to resemble the comics villain Doomsday. Equally, if the leaks are to be trusted, Godzilla and Kong will unite to fight Mecha-Godzilla\/King Ghidorah (the main antagonist from Godzilla: King of the Monsters<\/em>),\u00a0at the end of their film.<\/p>\n

In fact, clues hinting towards this plot point are fairly obvious. In the post-credits scene of Godzilla: King of the Monsters<\/em>, Jonah (the human antagonist of the film) purchases the severed left-over head of the defeated Ghidorah, suggesting that they will use this appendage and some technological supplements to create a giant titan cyborg. Moreover, eagle-eyed viewers will have noticed that, at 1:42 in the recent trailer, there is a screen showing \u201cSYSTEM CHARGED\u201d and what looks to be the outline of a robotic Godzilla. It would seem the reanimated appearance of Mecha-Godzilla\/Ghidorah is inevitable, echoing the arrival of Doomsday in Batman v Superman<\/em>.<\/p>\n
