There's no way our human cast won't be closely involved in whatever is going on above ground. Godzilla won't be getting "all the screen time", because that's not how these movies operate. I would fully expect to see MBB again because that's a total no-brainer; other characters are up in the air.

"Unusual and dangerous creatures." Chances are I'm reading too much into it, but that doesn't make them sound like conventional Titans. Godzilla and Kong can obviously handle them. Also, we're talking about "creatures", plural, so it's not just a single Big Bad. Unless it's Destoroyah, anyway...

I hate this idea and there’s nothing to indicate this is true. The world serpent and this all seem so fan fictiony to me.

The only reason I can think of is it wasn't killed at the end of Kingdom Kong.

Is Dan Stevens really still the only cast member who’s been confirmed so far? I would assume they’d at least bring back Team Kong.

The only Team Kong members I can see returning is Jia and Dr. Andrews.

Maybe it's going to be documentary style and there will be no human cast, and Dan Stevens is the narrator. :D

Even Dr. Andrews is expendable since her role is mostly someone to communicate between Jia and non ASL characters. You can easily write in another ASL friend for Jia.
GVK: TNE is a modern day 70s Showa Godzilla movie. Being a massive budget modern blockbuster CGI film instead of traditional 70s tokusatsu techniques doesn't change that. Fight me.

Anguirus and Godzilla being friends in the Showa series is cannon. Deal with it.

Monsterverse is not similar to either MCU nor Bayformers just because all three are big budget CGI blockbuster franchises.

The movie could be an opportunity to expand the relationship between her and Jia.

KDM is teasing a female cast member on twitter.

https://mobile.twitter.com/KDM_Monsters ... 9975239680

His emoji's are definitely refering to Ann Darrow so maybe we're getting a monsterverse Ann Darrow or love interest for Kong? Perhaps it's an actress who was Ann or a love interest for Kong in the past? Naomi Watts? Some in the comments are speculating that Brie Larson is coming back. Wait and see I suppose.

Edit: They're saying the emojis are not a hint, just emojis. They're also claiming it's someone popular.

I sure hope not. It's fine if they introduce another female cast but making her the love interest would be treading old ground. What the Monsterverse has done for Kong by actually giving a fresh start that isn't a remake of the original is admirable. The connection between him and Jia was a nice way to reference his past while also doing its own thing.

On a side note, the sequel is competing with Kung Fu Panda 4 and a second of Into the Spider-Verse. Wonder if they're going to change the date.

Ok I shouldn’t post this here but I’m getting frustrated reading the same thing over and over again. No matter when the movie comes out it is going to have competition, no period in the year could it be released without something else releasing at the same time. The GvK situation was the exception to the rule, and barring another worldwide phenomena won’t happen again.

I didn't mean we should be worried. Just wondering if they'll change the release date and if they do, I'm cool with it. If they don't, I'm still cool with it.

Just some horseshit some random person on the internet made up before KoTM was released. Not worth the time it would take to Google it.

Yeah I meant Godzilla Vs Kong. The point is that it was only ever hogwash.

If any of this Son of Kong talk is real, Kong's dying in the next entry or two. Wish Godzilla would die, GvK killed Godzilla for me in the series. Hero to Zero...

No way they're going kill of either of their cash cows. Also, in what was Godzilla zero in GVK? Sure, he had less screen time but he was more menacing, blew a hole in the hollow earth, went rage mode on Kong and won. I wouldn't hold the Mecha fight against him considering he always had help against it.
