I think we should add Michael Dougherty and Zach Shields in the infobox, at least for now. There are many sources calling Dougherty a co-writer on the film. Iamnoahflores ( talk) 15:19, 12 December 2019 (UTC)
Proposing that the Marketing section be cleaned up, as in its current state it is far too wordy and cluttered with unnecessary information like descriptions of two second teasers and TV spots. When the full official trailer is released I can't imagine anyone would seriously write up a description of everything that happens in that two minute plus trailer. Simply, the solution would be to follow other film pages, and keep the marketing section to the date of when a trailer was released, with a link to the trailer in the citation. Otherwise the Marketing section is bound to become gigantic. 203.0.173.97 ( talk) 10:33, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
Has been added with multiple sources. This shouldn't even be an issue but you should need consensus to remove it. Samurai Kung fu Cowboy ( talk) 04:56, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
Well now you removed it again even though I added your changes and left you a message on your talk page saying feel free to reword it, if it wasn't to your liking. So at this point, you are most definitely the one being disruptive. What's your problem now? Samurai Kung fu Cowboy ( talk) 20:30, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
And you are not an Admin. Stop talking like you are. You do not have the right or ability to block anyone. You're just an editor who even reverted ref fixes I made. Samurai Kung fu Cowboy ( talk) 21:06, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
@ Armegon: Hello! I think it's necessary. Many other films on Wikipedia are named "giant monster films" instead of just "monster films" already. -- Дейноніх ( talk) 20:43, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
As per the official press release from Warner Bros. [1] Kaylee Hottle is not part of the official top billing for the movie. She should be moved to the bottom paragraph with Zhang Ziyi for the time being. WhoKnew99 ( talk) 17:58, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
This is the official synopsis from the latest press release:
"Legends collide in “Godzilla vs. Kong” as these mythic adversaries meet in a spectacular battle for the ages, with the fate of the world hanging in the balance. Kong and his protectors undertake a perilous journey to find his true home, and with them is Jia, a young orphaned girl with whom he has formed a unique and powerful bond. But they unexpectedly find themselves in the path of an enraged Godzilla, cutting a swath of destruction across the globe. The epic clash between the two titans—instigated by unseen forces—is only the beginning of the mystery that lies deep within the core of the Earth." [2] [3]
Preferable that the old synopsis be changed with the new one WhoKnew99 ( talk) 18:07, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
Request for comments to change the plot synopsis/premise to the official one used by Warner Bros. and Legendary Entertainment for Godzilla vs. Kong.

Outdated synopsis no longer used by Warner Bros. or Legendary:
In a time when monsters walk the Earth, humanity's fight for its future sets Godzilla and Kong on a collision course that will see the two most powerful forces of nature on the planet collide in a spectacular battle for the ages. As Monarch embarks on a perilous mission into uncharted terrain and unearths clues to the Titans' origins, a human conspiracy threatens to wipe the creatures, both good and bad, from the face of the earth forever.
WhoKnew99 ( talk) 09:45, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
The consensus is 2:1 in favour of using the official synopsis/premise from Warner Bros./Legendary until either the movie is released where a plot summary will take its place or in the event of a new synopsis being officially released. Reverting to the old synopsis without valid justification will be considered WP:CRYSTAL. WhoKnew99 ( talk) 15:22, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

Based on trailer, reviews and many clips from YouTube it would seem it's not really Godzilla in the upcoming 2021 film. Mechagodzilla was a giant Godzilla robot that was created by the Japanese to fight Godzilla (in the flesh) and other monsters. You can catch glimpse of it in the trailer when it featured Japanese actor Shun Oguri and also when it was destroying Hong Kong. Godzilla isn't suppose to be evil and destroying humanity unless is Shin Godzilla and space Godzilla which they are clearly not him (referring to the Godzilla in the 2021 trailer who is clearly Mechagodzilla).
Take a look at this source
I believe most of the fans going to watch this are Godzilla fans based on the comment sections and reviews. Most fans wouldn't really want to see King Kong defeating Godzilla. I don't know what the ending is going to be like but from the trailer it seems like Godzilla is portrayed as this villain who's going to destroy humanity while King Kong is the savior of humanity. In every other film Godzilla film he protects humanity from other monsters many times, he also has spiritual connections with humans (little kids and females) just like King Kong has, they both will fight to protect humans. So if King Kong does defeat Godzilla he was actually Mechagodzilla, which will makes more sense because Godzilla never loses. In reality there's no way King Kong could ever beat Godzilla, their difference in power is just to great. Godzilla can attack with energy blast (called nuclear breath), he can also withstand huge energy blast from any monsters before, Godzilla also has incredible regenerating powers while King Kong doesn't have any energy blast, all he has is raw strength which Godzilla also has but I believe in the movie they will make King Kong more intelligent and defeating Godzilla by somehow outsmarting Godzilla. However Godzilla has some intelligence as well, but this Mechagodzilla is just a huge robot battling machine, so it would make sense if King Kong can defeat Mecha Godzilla. Even Mecha Godzilla couldn't defeat Godzilla when it used all it's power beams, rockets, electricity. Godzilla can heal himself quickly from all energy blast and weaponry, especially if it's just punches from King Kong, Godzilla will recover easily. Vamlos ( talk) 09:45, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
The source posted is purely speculative, all based on a brief frame from the trailer. Until the filmmakers or studio outright explicitly confirm that Mechagodzilla is in the film (through an official reveal) or the role that Mechagodzilla potentially plays in the film is confirmed, all information until then is pure fan speculation. 203.0.173.97 ( talk) 12:25, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

I sense an edit war coming. So I thought it was best to bring the issue here before it gets out of control. Should we remove Toho from the distributor section of the infobox? I oppose. WP:FilmDist takes precedence. It clearly states “If there are only two distributors in total (a domestic and foreign) then include both of them.” Warners is releasing the film in all markets, except Japan, where Toho has exclusive distribution rights. @ Nyxaros: @ KaitoNkmra23:, thoughts?

Pretty amazing that just the youtube trailer from the Warners Bros.Pictures had now gathered 60.8 million views and 1.7 million likes in just 2+ weeks ( since January 24th 2021 ). This is a lot higher than most official music videos I've seen. Add all the trailers views and it's over 150 million views in just 2 weeks plus. This deserves a more significant recognition and mention, to show what a big deal this upcoming movie is becoming. Also 1.7 million likes is massive when considering the fact hat many music videos even with 200-300 million views don't get 1 million likes.
And this is only one U.S trailer from the Warnes Bro.s Pictures, other trailers also include a high number of youtube views. There's also another trailer from India, Latin America, U.K, Brazil and other various countries. One with 22 million views, another with 20 million views, another with 12 million views, And over 10+ videos with 500,000 to 11 million views Vamlos ( talk) 18:36, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
If the beast of two different films is brought into the same film, there is bound to be a blast among the audience. Something similar is going to happen this year in 'Warner Bros.' This year two different beasts, Godzilla vs. Kong, will appear in the same film. [1]
Some new posters for the film have been released.

PLOT- Opening credits start with a bracket system showing all the Titans and their many battles, winners and losers, eventually Godzilla and Kong are the last ones left. Que title GODZILLA VS. KONG
Movie opens up with Kong waking on Skull Island. He bathes in a waterfall. Seemingly content. Jia (Kaylee Hottle), a lone and the last Iwi native, goes to visit Kong, Kong uproots a tree and throws it through the air like a spear, busting through an invisible barrier. We then see that Kong is in a giant dome of sorts on Skull Island being watched by Monarch as the island's climate has been destabilized.
Bernie Hayes (Brian Tyree Henry) is a conspiracy podcaster and former APEX employee, he is sneaking back into an APEX base in Florida to try and get footage of something sinister he believes the corporation to be up to when Godzilla suddenly attacks. During the rampage, Bernie discovers a new Orca device in the APEX base.
Madison Russell (Millie Bobby Brown) sees all the news about Godzilla's recent attack and is worried. She talks to her dad Mark (Kyle Chandler) on the phone who too is concerned because Monarch doesn’t know why Godzilla's acting this way.
Nathan Lind (Alexander Skarsgard) is a jaded Monarch scientist who had written a book on the Hollow Earth. He’s upset over his brother's death in Antarctica several years earlier during the only human attempted expedition to the Hollow Earth.
Walter Simmons (Demian Bichir) and Ren Serizawa (Shun Oguri) arrive at Nathan’s office. Walter Simmons tells Nathan that they believe they can find something in Hollow Earth that can stop Godzilla. Simmons reminds Nathan that based on his book, it is believed that Kong may be able to find the Hollow Earth based on natural instinct. They need to take Kong to Antarctica and follow him through the caves and down under the Earth’s surface. Walter tells Nathan he will bank roll the mission.
Madison listens to Bernie Haye's podcast and believes he can help her find out what’s the story behind Godzilla attacking. She enlists her friend Josh (Julian Dennison) to help her find Bernie.
Nathan goes to Skull Island and meets with Illene Andrews (Rebecca Hall) who he already knows and Jia. Nathan and Illene argue over using Kong, but Nathan convinces her because he says it may be Kong’s only way to find others like him.
Madison and Josh find Bernie. He’s at first suspicious of them but they earn his trust. Josh asks why Bernie has a gun (because he has a holster on his chest). Bernie says it's not a gun and pulls out a flask from the holster. He says he had the flask when his wife died and he won’t finish drinking it until “it’s all over”.
Nathan, Illene, and their team board an aircraft carrier with Kong. Maya Simmons (Eiza Gonzalez), Walter’s daughter, joins them to “look after the mission for her father”. On the aircraft, Nathan discovers that Jia and Kong can communicate with sign language. Godzilla senses Kong in the ocean and attacks the carrier and he and Kong fight. Kong holds his own but is obviously outmatched, Godzilla circles around to finish the job when the military shuts all the weapons and ships off to “Play dead”. It works and Godzilla leaves. Realizing that Godzilla will continue to come for Kong if he’s deemed a threat, Nathan and Ilene change their plan...
Bernie leads Madison and Josh through the Apex base in Florida to show them the Orca but when they arrive, it's gone.
Nathan, Illene, and their team bring Kong to Antarctica in a net carried by helicopters. When they get to Antarctica, Jia convinces Kong to go in the cave by telling him that he has family there. Kong and the team go into the caverns and travel deep below the surface.
Meanwhile, Bernie, Madison, and Josh find Skull Crawler eggs in the Apex's underground facility. They inspect them when all of a sudden, the platform they're on starts moving and Bernie, Madison, Josh and the Eggs are sucked into an underground tunnel that connects Florida to Hong Kong.
Kong leads the team to the Hollow Earth. There they find an environment where gravity in the atmosphere is higher but the ecosystem resembles Skull Island's surface only far more fantastical. Suddenly, the team's HEAV is attacked by Bat-like-snakes called Nozuki. Kong defeats them and they continue to travel through Hollow Earth. Kong finds a big cave-like area that has a handprint like his on the wall. He follows it and enters into a throne room. He sits on the throne as a glowing blue energy substance creeps through the rocks (the blue substance resembles Godzilla’s atomic energy).
Bernie, Madison, and Josh finally stop at a hanger like base in Hong Kong where they find a massive mechanical titan resembling Godzilla. Terrified, they begin to run when one of the Skull Crawlers hatches and attacks Madison. The robot suddenly activates and disposes of the Skull Crawler with ease before shutting down.
Ren sits in King Ghidorah’s skull, which is now been turned into a control base for the "Mechagodzilla". He steps out and talks with Walter. Walter says when they get the power from the Hollow Earth, they will be able to power MechaGodzilla properly and he wont shut down immediately.
Meanwhile, Kong finds an axe passed down by generations of Kongs in rocks where it appears the blue energy is flowing towards it. Maya Simmons and her Apex team begin to extract some of the blue energy and uploads it to Mechagodzilla.
Godzilla, sensing something, attacks Hong Kong. He supercharges his atomic breath and fires it straight down through the ground, all the way to Hollow Earth.
Kong’s throne room begins to collapse from Godzilla's supercharged blast, which causes bat-like creatures called Hell Hawks to attack. Kong fights them off but Maya Simmons is killed. Kong, Nathan, Illene and Jia use the hole from Godzilla’s blast to escape, popping up in Hong Kong.
Godzilla and Kong have their brutal round 2 battle. Kong eventually gets a strong blow on Godzilla and knocks him down, Nathan says “I guess Round 2 goes to Kong...”
Bernie, Maddison and Josh find the Ghidorah skull and Bernie realizes that they are using Ghidorah’s Telekinesis to pilot MechaGodzilla from there. They continue to snoop around but are finally caught.
Godzilla gets back up and the two continue their fight.
The upload of Hollow Earth energy is complete. Ren warns that they don’t know the capability of the new Hollow Earth energy, but Walter ignores his pleas and orders him to activate Mechagodzilla. Walter villain monologues in the control room to Bernie, Madison, and Josh but MechaGodzilla goes haywire and Ren is shocked to death in Ghidorah's skull. Mechagodzilla awakens with a mind of its own and kills Walter.
Godzilla goes on all fours like an alligator and mauls Kong unconscious- beating him.
The victory is short lived as Mechagodzilla explodes from Victoria Peak and attacks the city. Godzilla turns his sights on the robot...
Jia tells Illene and Nathan that Kong is dying. She can feel his heartbeat slowing.
Bernie tells Josh and Madison they have to try and help shut down Mechagodzilla. Josh tries to hack into the computer but ultimately fails.
Godzilla and Mechagodzilla battle but Godzilla's severely outmatched...
Nathan and Illene mcgyver a defibrillator out of their HEAV and blow it up on Kong’s chest. It works and Kong awakens. Jia convinces Kong to help Godzilla
Godzilla and Kong team-up against Mechagodzilla however they're still no match for Mechagodzilla and he defeats Godzilla. Mechagodzilla grabs Kong by the throat and transforms his hand into a drill and readies to kill Kong.
Bernie pulls out his flask and goes “I guess this is it” but before he can take a drink, Josh yells “that’s it!” and grabs the flask and pours it down the fan of the computer, short circuiting it.
Mechagodzilla stalls for a moment. Godzilla weakly raises his head and looks to Kong, in a last ditch effort, Godzilla fires his atomic breath at Kong's axe, supercharging it. Kong swings and hacks Mechagodzilla to pieces, destroying him once and for all
Bernie, Madison, and Josh reunite with Mark Russell.
Godzilla, feebly stands and he and Kong lock eyes. Kong drops his axe and Godzilla roars into the sky before leaving.
The final shot has Illene and Jia watching Kong in the Hollow Earth. Kong stands on a cliff and looks off into the distance as The Air I Breathe by The Hollies plays.
Several years following the events in Boston, Kong and Godzilla are the last remaining active Titans on Earth. On Skull Island, the climate has been destabilized and Monarch watches over Kong, who resides within a giant dome. Kong is visited by Jia, the last Iwi native.
Bernie Hayes, a former APEX employee, sneaks into an APEX base in Florida to try and get footage of something sinister he believes the corporation to be up to when Godzilla suddenly attacks. During the rampage, Bernie discovers a new ORCA device in the APEX base. Meanwhile, Madison Russell discusses Godzilla's attacks with her father Mark.

I want this question to be answered soon Ponduri Sashank ( talk) 01:06, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
Hello, I'm not sure of the protocol with categorizing films but should this be categorized as an Australian film just because that is where some of the filming happened? I would think the "nationality" of the film would be determined by the production company but I'm reluctant to change up the categories when there are editors around here who specialize in film articles.

i cant edit it because its semi protected but why does it say kong "won" the second round? he got one good shot in with his axe and then godzilla got back up and beat him to a pulp. Nathan said "looks like the second round goes to kong" but immediatly after godzilla nearly kills him. the plot should say that kong holds his ground with is new axe but is eventually defeated, at no point in the battle did he "win" or "defeat godzilla"
Agreed. There are no rounds in a fight to the death anyway. And even if there were rounds, in order to win around you have to be knocked out from the attack. Godzilla got up seconds after that and wrecks Kong later. Kong lost that entire fight. Godzilla won 2-0 against Kong. SG1994! ( talk) 22:32, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
It's in the actual dialog. Anything else is OR. And I removed your insult. Absolutely inappropriate. oknazevad ( talk) 00:34, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
Doesn’t matter if it’s an actual dialogue. It’s a mere speculation and assumption. It’s not factual. Kong didn’t win round 2. You can’t win around just by knocking somebody down. It doesn’t make any logical sense. Because Godzilla was only down for a few seconds space in their films real time. But he was still conscious and got right back up immediately. Kong knew the fight wasn’t over. That’s why he got on top of a building to attack Godzilla while he gets up. I mean if you are in a street fight, you knock somebody down for a few seconds but he gets back up, does that mean you won the round? No. Cuz that means the opponent is still in the fight. Especially, if he ends up beating your ass afterwards. So knocking someone down is kinda pointless if the opponent is still conscious or gets back up quickly. Godzilla recovered too quickly for that to result in Kong winning a round. Plus it doesn’t matter. Adam Wingard already said that Godzilla won both rounds. And the film was only meant to have one winner between the two. So taking Alexander Skarsgård’s character statement seriously, only contradicts Wingard’s intentions. Which most sources are saying he was on point. SG1994! ( talk) 15:10, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
Keep in mind, Dr. Lind’s statement is meant to serve as a fake out as he assumed Kong won. But he was clearly wrong. Just stating the facts. SG1994! ( talk) 15:11, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
And FYI, Armegon did state that assumption was speculative and not factual. SG1994! ( talk) 15:15, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
I feel that this is the one thing that will trigger an edit war in the future. I think it would be wise to establish a consensus now. I believe it would be speculative to add in the plot summary that Ghidorah takes control of Mechagodzilla. The film never confirms it, much less the characters. I think it'd be more neutral to iterate what you see onscreen: Walter and Ren lose control of Mechagodzilla. That's it. Let readers decide for themselves. Thoughts?

Hi. The transport to Hong Kong is definitely not a monorail. The pod seems to float on magnetic suspension of some kind. I'd argue it is closer to a hyperloop.
Wordings such as "Mixed to positive" have been discussed many times and are generally discouraged. [6] Please revert the edits that changed it to that [7] and restore the status-quo/previous wording of "generally positive" reviews.
Editors should be able to weigh up the scores and decide if the reviews are either "generally positive" or "mixed" and not equivocate or to try to have it both ways. In this case (RT 75%/378; MC 59%/57) the number of reviews at Metacritic is relatively small and review count at Rotten Tomatoes is considerable, so it does not seem unreasonable to put more weight/emphasis on positive, which is what the previous wording seemed to be doing. -- 109.79.73.154 ( talk) 16:46, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
The § Crew section on this article as well as the previous two Godzilla films are pure trivia and should be removed.

Request to link the article Godzilla vs. Kong (soundtrack) in the Music section; also change the content from (X to Y) in that section.
X: In June 2020, Tom Holkenborg was announced as the film's composer. [1] Wingard met with Holkenborg in 2018, where Holkenborg admitted to recreationally writing music for Godzilla years prior due to being a fan. Holkenborg subsequently began communicating with the director, tweaked the material, and played it for the director, stating that Wingard was "totally in love." Holkenborg requested a bass drum roughly ten feet in diameter, but the builder was only able to scale it down to eight feet. [2] As with Legendary's previous Godzilla trailers, György Ligeti's " Requiem" was used, followed by "Here We Go" by Chris Classic. [3] [4] The song " The Air That I Breathe" by The Hollies was used in the credits scene. The soundtrack was released by WaterTower Music on March 26, 2021. [5]
Wingard felt it was "insincere" to repurpose the themes by Akira Ifukube because he associated them with Toho's Godzilla. Instead, Wingard wished to go in a different direction to create themes that were unique to the MonsterVerse's Godzilla, while paying homage to its influences. [6] Holkenborg wanted to create a Godzilla theme that "lived and breathed" the history behind monster themes. [7] Lower brass and big tympanis were used to emphasize the power of Godzilla. [8] Holkenborg wanted Godzilla's theme to be slow and sluggish to reflect Godzilla. [9]
For the film's Japanese release, Man with a Mission contributed the track "Into the Deep". Regarding the track's inclusion, Wingard commented, "I'm thrilled that an inspiring song from a groundbreaking band like Man with a Mission will be playing alongside the battle in Godzilla vs. Kong." [10]

If they are not MUTOs, why are you so unwilling to rewriting to say what is meant by "both Titans "? tahc chat 22:31, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
It should be noted that the entire discussion above was copy/pasted from a discussion that Tac brought to my personal talk page, instead of bringing it to this talk page like they should have done from the start. With that said, I made it repeatedly clear multiple times across multiple articles why his edits warranted reversion [13], [14], [15], [16]. He then proceeded to bring a separate issue on my talk page regarding what is meant by "both Titans" from a sentence in the GODZILLA VS. KONG article plot summary that reads: "As Mechagodzilla overpowers both Titans". The plot summary makes it clear that "both Titans" refers to both Godzilla and Kong in that moment. If Tac had actually seen the movie, they would see that Mechagodzilla only fights Godzilla and Kong in that sequence. Additionally, the term "Titan" is used repeatedly in the film to refer to the monsters, not "MUTO". So why is Tac finding this confusing or hard to understand? Yet, Tac decided to turn it into a bigger deal than necessary, even going so far to be rude and sardonic towards me [17].
I don't know if this is all a big misunderstanding coming from Tahc's lack of understanding proper English grammar because there's some signs that English may not be their first or primary language i.e. "but you are clear they are not the 2 monsters from the 2014 film" or "why are you so unwilling to rewriting to say what is meant by 'both Titans'". Or if Tac is just trolling because there's also signs that the editor's conduct is WP:NOTHERE, WP:NOTGETTINGIT, and a lack of competence, per WP:CIR. This is an issue that shouldn't be an issue to begin with. Tac is the only one confused, the only one not getting it (or perhaps refuses to get it?) and wasting everyone's time and efforts by clutching at straws. Armegon ( talk) 21:50, 21 October 2022 (UTC)

I think we should add Michael Dougherty and Zach Shields in the infobox, at least for now. There are many sources calling Dougherty a co-writer on the film. Iamnoahflores ( talk) 15:19, 12 December 2019 (UTC)
Proposing that the Marketing section be cleaned up, as in its current state it is far too wordy and cluttered with unnecessary information like descriptions of two second teasers and TV spots. When the full official trailer is released I can't imagine anyone would seriously write up a description of everything that happens in that two minute plus trailer. Simply, the solution would be to follow other film pages, and keep the marketing section to the date of when a trailer was released, with a link to the trailer in the citation. Otherwise the Marketing section is bound to become gigantic. 203.0.173.97 ( talk) 10:33, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

As per the official press release from Warner Bros. [1] Kaylee Hottle is not part of the official top billing for the movie. She should be moved to the bottom paragraph with Zhang Ziyi for the time being. WhoKnew99 ( talk) 17:58, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
This is the official synopsis from the latest press release:
"Legends collide in “Godzilla vs. Kong” as these mythic adversaries meet in a spectacular battle for the ages, with the fate of the world hanging in the balance. Kong and his protectors undertake a perilous journey to find his true home, and with them is Jia, a young orphaned girl with whom he has formed a unique and powerful bond. But they unexpectedly find themselves in the path of an enraged Godzilla, cutting a swath of destruction across the globe. The epic clash between the two titans—instigated by unseen forces—is only the beginning of the mystery that lies deep within the core of the Earth." [2] [3]

Outdated synopsis no longer used by Warner Bros. or Legendary:
In a time when monsters walk the Earth, humanity's fight for its future sets Godzilla and Kong on a collision course that will see the two most powerful forces of nature on the planet collide in a spectacular battle for the ages. As Monarch embarks on a perilous mission into uncharted terrain and unearths clues to the Titans' origins, a human conspiracy threatens to wipe the creatures, both good and bad, from the face of the earth forever.

Based on trailer, reviews and many clips from YouTube it would seem it's not really Godzilla in the upcoming 2021 film. Mechagodzilla was a giant Godzilla robot that was created by the Japanese to fight Godzilla (in the flesh) and other monsters. You can catch glimpse of it in the trailer when it featured Japanese actor Shun Oguri and also when it was destroying Hong Kong. Godzilla isn't suppose to be evil and destroying humanity unless is Shin Godzilla and space Godzilla which they are clearly not him (referring to the Godzilla in the 2021 trailer who is clearly Mechagodzilla).
Take a look at this source
I believe most of the fans going to watch this are Godzilla fans based on the comment sections and reviews. Most fans wouldn't really want to see King Kong defeating Godzilla. I don't know what the ending is going to be like but from the trailer it seems like Godzilla is portrayed as this villain who's going to destroy humanity while King Kong is the savior of humanity. In every other film Godzilla film he protects humanity from other monsters many times, he also has spiritual connections with humans (little kids and females) just like King Kong has, they both will fight to protect humans. So if King Kong does defeat Godzilla he was actually Mechagodzilla, which will makes more sense because Godzilla never loses. In reality there's no way King Kong could ever beat Godzilla, their difference in power is just to great. Godzilla can attack with energy blast (called nuclear breath), he can also withstand huge energy blast from any monsters before, Godzilla also has incredible regenerating powers while King Kong doesn't have any energy blast, all he has is raw strength which Godzilla also has but I believe in the movie they will make King Kong more intelligent and defeating Godzilla by somehow outsmarting Godzilla. However Godzilla has some intelligence as well, but this Mechagodzilla is just a huge robot battling machine, so it would make sense if King Kong can defeat Mecha Godzilla. Even Mecha Godzilla couldn't defeat Godzilla when it used all it's power beams, rockets, electricity. Godzilla can heal himself quickly from all energy blast and weaponry, especially if it's just punches from King Kong, Godzilla will recover easily. Vamlos ( talk) 09:45, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
The source posted is purely speculative, all based on a brief frame from the trailer. Until the filmmakers or studio outright explicitly confirm that Mechagodzilla is in the film (through an official reveal) or the role that Mechagodzilla potentially plays in the film is confirmed, all information until then is pure fan speculation. 203.0.173.97 ( talk) 12:25, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

I sense an edit war coming. So I thought it was best to bring the issue here before it gets out of control. Should we remove Toho from the distributor section of the infobox? I oppose. WP:FilmDist takes precedence. It clearly states “If there are only two distributors in total (a domestic and foreign) then include both of them.” Warners is releasing the film in all markets, except Japan, where Toho has exclusive distribution rights. @ Nyxaros: @ KaitoNkmra23:, thoughts?

Pretty amazing that just the youtube trailer from the Warners Bros.Pictures had now gathered 60.8 million views and 1.7 million likes in just 2+ weeks ( since January 24th 2021 ). This is a lot higher than most official music videos I've seen. Add all the trailers views and it's over 150 million views in just 2 weeks plus. This deserves a more significant recognition and mention, to show what a big deal this upcoming movie is becoming. Also 1.7 million likes is massive when considering the fact hat many music videos even with 200-300 million views don't get 1 million likes.
And this is only one U.S trailer from the Warnes Bro.s Pictures, other trailers also include a high number of youtube views. There's also another trailer from India, Latin America, U.K, Brazil and other various countries. One with 22 million views, another with 20 million views, another with 12 million views, And over 10+ videos with 500,000 to 11 million views Vamlos ( talk) 18:36, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
If the beast of two different films is brought into the same film, there is bound to be a blast among the audience. Something similar is going to happen this year in 'Warner Bros.' This year two different beasts, Godzilla vs. Kong, will appear in the same film. [1]
Some new posters for the film have been released.

PLOT- Opening credits start with a bracket system showing all the Titans and their many battles, winners and losers, eventually Godzilla and Kong are the last ones left. Que title GODZILLA VS. KONG
Movie opens up with Kong waking on Skull Island. He bathes in a waterfall. Seemingly content. Jia (Kaylee Hottle), a lone and the last Iwi native, goes to visit Kong, Kong uproots a tree and throws it through the air like a spear, busting through an invisible barrier. We then see that Kong is in a giant dome of sorts on Skull Island being watched by Monarch as the island's climate has been destabilized.
Bernie Hayes (Brian Tyree Henry) is a conspiracy podcaster and former APEX employee, he is sneaking back into an APEX base in Florida to try and get footage of something sinister he believes the corporation to be up to when Godzilla suddenly attacks. During the rampage, Bernie discovers a new Orca device in the APEX base.
Madison Russell (Millie Bobby Brown) sees all the news about Godzilla's recent attack and is worried. She talks to her dad Mark (Kyle Chandler) on the phone who too is concerned because Monarch doesn’t know why Godzilla's acting this way.
Nathan Lind (Alexander Skarsgard) is a jaded Monarch scientist who had written a book on the Hollow Earth. He’s upset over his brother's death in Antarctica several years earlier during the only human attempted expedition to the Hollow Earth.
Walter Simmons (Demian Bichir) and Ren Serizawa (Shun Oguri) arrive at Nathan’s office. Walter Simmons tells Nathan that they believe they can find something in Hollow Earth that can stop Godzilla. Simmons reminds Nathan that based on his book, it is believed that Kong may be able to find the Hollow Earth based on natural instinct. They need to take Kong to Antarctica and follow him through the caves and down under the Earth’s surface. Walter tells Nathan he will bank roll the mission.
Madison listens to Bernie Haye's podcast and believes he can help her find out what’s the story behind Godzilla attacking. She enlists her friend Josh (Julian Dennison) to help her find Bernie.
Nathan goes to Skull Island and meets with Illene Andrews (Rebecca Hall) who he already knows and Jia. Nathan and Illene argue over using Kong, but Nathan convinces her because he says it may be Kong’s only way to find others like him.
Madison and Josh find Bernie. He’s at first suspicious of them but they earn his trust. Josh asks why Bernie has a gun (because he has a holster on his chest). Bernie says it's not a gun and pulls out a flask from the holster. He says he had the flask when his wife died and he won’t finish drinking it until “it’s all over”.
Nathan, Illene, and their team board an aircraft carrier with Kong. Maya Simmons (Eiza Gonzalez), Walter’s daughter, joins them to “look after the mission for her father”. On the aircraft, Nathan discovers that Jia and Kong can communicate with sign language. Godzilla senses Kong in the ocean and attacks the carrier and he and Kong fight. Kong holds his own but is obviously outmatched, Godzilla circles around to finish the job when the military shuts all the weapons and ships off to “Play dead”. It works and Godzilla leaves. Realizing that Godzilla will continue to come for Kong if he’s deemed a threat, Nathan and Ilene change their plan...
Bernie leads Madison and Josh through the Apex base in Florida to show them the Orca but when they arrive, it's gone.
Nathan, Illene, and their team bring Kong to Antarctica in a net carried by helicopters. When they get to Antarctica, Jia convinces Kong to go in the cave by telling him that he has family there. Kong and the team go into the caverns and travel deep below the surface.
Meanwhile, Bernie, Madison, and Josh find Skull Crawler eggs in the Apex's underground facility. They inspect them when all of a sudden, the platform they're on starts moving and Bernie, Madison, Josh and the Eggs are sucked into an underground tunnel that connects Florida to Hong Kong.
Kong leads the team to the Hollow Earth. There they find an environment where gravity in the atmosphere is higher but the ecosystem resembles Skull Island's surface only far more fantastical. Suddenly, the team's HEAV is attacked by Bat-like-snakes called Nozuki. Kong defeats them and they continue to travel through Hollow Earth. Kong finds a big cave-like area that has a handprint like his on the wall. He follows it and enters into a throne room. He sits on the throne as a glowing blue energy substance creeps through the rocks (the blue substance resembles Godzilla’s atomic energy).
Bernie, Madison, and Josh finally stop at a hanger like base in Hong Kong where they find a massive mechanical titan resembling Godzilla. Terrified, they begin to run when one of the Skull Crawlers hatches and attacks Madison. The robot suddenly activates and disposes of the Skull Crawler with ease before shutting down.
Ren sits in King Ghidorah’s skull, which is now been turned into a control base for the "Mechagodzilla". He steps out and talks with Walter. Walter says when they get the power from the Hollow Earth, they will be able to power MechaGodzilla properly and he wont shut down immediately.
Meanwhile, Kong finds an axe passed down by generations of Kongs in rocks where it appears the blue energy is flowing towards it. Maya Simmons and her Apex team begin to extract some of the blue energy and uploads it to Mechagodzilla.
Godzilla, sensing something, attacks Hong Kong. He supercharges his atomic breath and fires it straight down through the ground, all the way to Hollow Earth.
Kong’s throne room begins to collapse from Godzilla's supercharged blast, which causes bat-like creatures called Hell Hawks to attack. Kong fights them off but Maya Simmons is killed. Kong, Nathan, Illene and Jia use the hole from Godzilla’s blast to escape, popping up in Hong Kong.
Godzilla and Kong have their brutal round 2 battle. Kong eventually gets a strong blow on Godzilla and knocks him down, Nathan says “I guess Round 2 goes to Kong...”
Bernie, Maddison and Josh find the Ghidorah skull and Bernie realizes that they are using Ghidorah’s Telekinesis to pilot MechaGodzilla from there. They continue to snoop around but are finally caught.
Godzilla gets back up and the two continue their fight.
The upload of Hollow Earth energy is complete. Ren warns that they don’t know the capability of the new Hollow Earth energy, but Walter ignores his pleas and orders him to activate Mechagodzilla. Walter villain monologues in the control room to Bernie, Madison, and Josh but MechaGodzilla goes haywire and Ren is shocked to death in Ghidorah's skull. Mechagodzilla awakens with a mind of its own and kills Walter.
Godzilla goes on all fours like an alligator and mauls Kong unconscious- beating him.
The victory is short lived as Mechagodzilla explodes from Victoria Peak and attacks the city. Godzilla turns his sights on the robot...
Jia tells Illene and Nathan that Kong is dying. She can feel his heartbeat slowing.
Bernie tells Josh and Madison they have to try and help shut down Mechagodzilla. Josh tries to hack into the computer but ultimately fails.
Godzilla and Mechagodzilla battle but Godzilla's severely outmatched...
Nathan and Illene mcgyver a defibrillator out of their HEAV and blow it up on Kong’s chest. It works and Kong awakens. Jia convinces Kong to help Godzilla
Godzilla and Kong team-up against Mechagodzilla however they're still no match for Mechagodzilla and he defeats Godzilla. Mechagodzilla grabs Kong by the throat and transforms his hand into a drill and readies to kill Kong.
Bernie pulls out his flask and goes “I guess this is it” but before he can take a drink, Josh yells “that’s it!” and grabs the flask and pours it down the fan of the computer, short circuiting it.
Mechagodzilla stalls for a moment. Godzilla weakly raises his head and looks to Kong, in a last ditch effort, Godzilla fires his atomic breath at Kong's axe, supercharging it. Kong swings and hacks Mechagodzilla to pieces, destroying him once and for all
Bernie, Madison, and Josh reunite with Mark Russell.
Godzilla, feebly stands and he and Kong lock eyes. Kong drops his axe and Godzilla roars into the sky before leaving.
The final shot has Illene and Jia watching Kong in the Hollow Earth. Kong stands on a cliff and looks off into the distance as The Air I Breathe by The Hollies plays.
Several years following the events in Boston, Kong and Godzilla are the last remaining active Titans on Earth. On Skull Island, the climate has been destabilized and Monarch watches over Kong, who resides within a giant dome. Kong is visited by Jia, the last Iwi native.
Bernie Hayes, a former APEX employee, sneaks into an APEX base in Florida to try and get footage of something sinister he believes the corporation to be up to when Godzilla suddenly attacks. During the rampage, Bernie discovers a new ORCA device in the APEX base. Meanwhile, Madison Russell discusses Godzilla's attacks with her father Mark.

Hello, I'm not sure of the protocol with categorizing films but should this be categorized as an Australian film just because that is where some of the filming happened? I would think the "nationality" of the film would be determined by the production company but I'm reluctant to change up the categories when there are editors around here who specialize in film articles.

i cant edit it because its semi protected but why does it say kong "won" the second round? he got one good shot in with his axe and then godzilla got back up and beat him to a pulp. Nathan said "looks like the second round goes to kong" but immediatly after godzilla nearly kills him. the plot should say that kong holds his ground with is new axe but is eventually defeated, at no point in the battle did he "win" or "defeat godzilla"
Agreed. There are no rounds in a fight to the death anyway. And even if there were rounds, in order to win around you have to be knocked out from the attack. Godzilla got up seconds after that and wrecks Kong later. Kong lost that entire fight. Godzilla won 2-0 against Kong. SG1994! ( talk) 22:32, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

Doesn’t matter if it’s an actual dialogue. It’s a mere speculation and assumption. It’s not factual. Kong didn’t win round 2. You can’t win around just by knocking somebody down. It doesn’t make any logical sense. Because Godzilla was only down for a few seconds space in their films real time. But he was still conscious and got right back up immediately. Kong knew the fight wasn’t over. That’s why he got on top of a building to attack Godzilla while he gets up. I mean if you are in a street fight, you knock somebody down for a few seconds but he gets back up, does that mean you won the round? No. Cuz that means the opponent is still in the fight. Especially, if he ends up beating your ass afterwards. So knocking someone down is kinda pointless if the opponent is still conscious or gets back up quickly. Godzilla recovered too quickly for that to result in Kong winning a round. Plus it doesn’t matter. Adam Wingard already said that Godzilla won both rounds. And the film was only meant to have one winner between the two. So taking Alexander Skarsgård’s character statement seriously, only contradicts Wingard’s intentions. Which most sources are saying he was on point. SG1994! ( talk) 15:10, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
Keep in mind, Dr. Lind’s statement is meant to serve as a fake out as he assumed Kong won. But he was clearly wrong. Just stating the facts. SG1994! ( talk) 15:11, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
And FYI, Armegon did state that assumption was speculative and not factual. SG1994! ( talk) 15:15, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
I feel that this is the one thing that will trigger an edit war in the future. I think it would be wise to establish a consensus now. I believe it would be speculative to add in the plot summary that Ghidorah takes control of Mechagodzilla. The film never confirms it, much less the characters. I think it'd be more neutral to iterate what you see onscreen: Walter and Ren lose control of Mechagodzilla. That's it. Let readers decide for themselves. Thoughts?

Kaylee Hottle as Jia: A young and mute orphan Iwi native who forms a special bond with Kong, and is Ilene's adopted daughter
Respectfully submitting a request to change the descriptor of mute to deaf for character Jia. Like her character, the actor Kaylee Hottle, can neither verbally speak nor hear, so Deaf may be a better descriptor for Jia. Rosegoldincali ( talk) 02:34, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

It should be noted in the plot that during the ship voyage, Kong and Jia can talk to each other through sign language which he has learned from Ilia as she was teaching Jia, and it is revealed that Jia and Kong communicate in secret. 2A00:23C6:C80F:9401:602C:409A:6A93:E7E4 ( talk) 22:17, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

MOS:CONTEXTLINK has the following passages:
Why is it being argued that Adam Wingard is the more appropriate "broader or more elementary topic" for this film than Godzilla and Kong? Why is it being argued that Adam Wingard is related more directly to the topic than Godzilla and Kong? Why is Adam Wingard more necessary to establish context than Godzilla and Kong?

The hollow earth plot piece may have been influenced by the hollow earth (Pellucidar) novels of Edgar Rice Burroughs. /info/en/?search=Pellucidar Whom was also the screenwriter of the original King Kong. 74.133.12.147 ( talk) 03:24, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
Hi. The transport to Hong Kong is definitely not a monorail. The pod seems to float on magnetic suspension of some kind. I'd argue it is closer to a hyperloop.
Wordings such as "Mixed to positive" have been discussed many times and are generally discouraged. [6] Please revert the edits that changed it to that [7] and restore the status-quo/previous wording of "generally positive" reviews.
Editors should be able to weigh up the scores and decide if the reviews are either "generally positive" or "mixed" and not equivocate or to try to have it both ways. In this case (RT 75%/378; MC 59%/57) the number of reviews at Metacritic is relatively small and review count at Rotten Tomatoes is considerable, so it does not seem unreasonable to put more weight/emphasis on positive, which is what the previous wording seemed to be doing. -- 109.79.73.154 ( talk) 16:46, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
The § Crew section on this article as well as the previous two Godzilla films are pure trivia and should be removed. I have seen no other film articles that do this, so there is no reason why the MonsterVerse Godzilla films should be any different. WP:FILMPRODUCTION also makes no mention of a "Crew" section, nor does it say anything about listing film crews. InfiniteNexus ( talk) 04:08, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

Request to link the article Godzilla vs. Kong (soundtrack) in the Music section; also change the content from (X to Y) in that section.
X: In June 2020, Tom Holkenborg was announced as the film's composer. [1] Wingard met with Holkenborg in 2018, where Holkenborg admitted to recreationally writing music for Godzilla years prior due to being a fan. Holkenborg subsequently began communicating with the director, tweaked the material, and played it for the director, stating that Wingard was "totally in love." Holkenborg requested a bass drum roughly ten feet in diameter, but the builder was only able to scale it down to eight feet. [2] As with Legendary's previous Godzilla trailers, György Ligeti's " Requiem" was used, followed by "Here We Go" by Chris Classic. [3] [4] The song " The Air That I Breathe" by The Hollies was used in the credits scene. The soundtrack was released by WaterTower Music on March 26, 2021. [5]
Wingard felt it was "insincere" to repurpose the themes by Akira Ifukube because he associated them with Toho's Godzilla. Instead, Wingard wished to go in a different direction to create themes that were unique to the MonsterVerse's Godzilla, while paying homage to its influences. [6] Holkenborg wanted to create a Godzilla theme that "lived and breathed" the history behind monster themes. [7] Lower brass and big tympanis were used to emphasize the power of Godzilla. [8] Holkenborg wanted Godzilla's theme to be slow and sluggish to reflect Godzilla. [9]
For the film's Japanese release, Man with a Mission contributed the track "Into the Deep". Regarding the track's inclusion, Wingard commented, "I'm thrilled that an inspiring song from a groundbreaking band like Man with a Mission will be playing alongside the battle in Godzilla vs. Kong." [10]
Y: In June 2020, Tom Holkenborg was announced as the film's composer. [11] Wingard met with Holkenborg in 2018, where Holkenborg admitted to recreationally writing music for Godzilla years prior due to being a fan. Holkenborg subsequently began communicating with the director, tweaked the material, and played it for the director, stating that Wingard was "totally in love."

If they are not MUTOs, why are you so unwilling to rewriting to say what is meant by "both Titans "? tahc chat 22:31, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
It should be noted that the entire discussion above was copy/pasted from a discussion that Tac brought to my personal talk page, instead of bringing it to this talk page like they should have done from the start. With that said, I made it repeatedly clear multiple times across multiple articles why his edits warranted reversion [13], [14], [15], [16]. He then proceeded to bring a separate issue on my talk page regarding what is meant by "both Titans" from a sentence in the GODZILLA VS. KONG article plot summary that reads: "As Mechagodzilla overpowers both Titans". The plot summary makes it clear that "both Titans" refers to both Godzilla and Kong in that moment. If Tac had actually seen the movie, they would see that Mechagodzilla only fights Godzilla and Kong in that sequence. Additionally, the term "Titan" is used repeatedly in the film to refer to the monsters, not "MUTO". So why is Tac finding this confusing or hard to understand? Yet, Tac decided to turn it into a bigger deal than necessary, even going so far to be rude and sardonic towards me [17].
I don't know if this is all a big misunderstanding coming from Tahc's lack of understanding proper English grammar because there's some signs that English may not be their first or primary language i.e. "but you are clear they are not the 2 monsters from the 2014 film" or "why are you so unwilling to rewriting to say what is meant by 'both Titans'". Or if Tac is just trolling because there's also signs that the editor's conduct is WP:NOTHERE, WP:NOTGETTINGIT, and a lack of competence, per WP:CIR. This is an issue that shouldn't be an issue to begin with. Tac is the only one confused, the only one not getting it (or perhaps refuses to get it?) and wasting everyone's time and efforts by clutching at straws. Armegon ( talk) 21:50, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
Just a quick mention that I apologise if I added too much to the plot but I felt the details I re added (I made sure to add less to avoid too much information) were relevant and noticed that Maya Simmons’ name had been misspelled as “Maia”, which it is not. 81.129.182.156 ( talk) 01:15, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
