Director Adam Wingard has taken the feedback from critics and audiences to heart, focusing more on the MonsterVerse titans in his highly anticipated sequel, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. With a runtime that features long stretches dedicated solely to Kong and his journey, Wingard opted for simplicity in storytelling, creating a more intimate story with a smaller cast of human characters.
The film delves into themes of loneliness, isolation, and family, with the characters mirroring the emotional journeys of the monsters themselves. Drawing inspiration from his own pet cat, Wingard even depicted Godzilla hibernating in the iconic Colosseum in Rome.
In discussing the film’s visual effects, Wingard highlighted the advancements in technology and the collaborative efforts with artists to bring the monsters to life on the big screen. Additionally, he revealed plans for a potential MonsterVerse trilogy and provided updates on the script for Face/Off 2.
Expressing his interest in continuing to innovate within the MonsterVerse, Wingard hinted at the possibility of making another film in the franchise. Fans won’t have to wait long to see his vision come to life, as Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire is set to open in theaters on March 29.
Excitement is building as audiences eagerly anticipate the next chapter in the MonsterVerse, with Wingard at the helm steering the titans towards a new empire of epic proportions.
