The Kaiju showdown of the century is about to go down with Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire and fans are here for it. Long before Godzilla became the ultimate gargantuan monster that he is, there was another monstrous creature lurking in the shadows of Skull Island. We see this mysterious Kaiju King Kong in all his glory in Kong: Skull Island before the two giant apes start out as enemies in Godzilla vs. Kong. However, they come together in the end to fight off a rogue Mecha-Godzilla, and the two are all set to reunite again in Godzilla x Kong.

It will also delve deep into the mysteries and origins of these two ancient apes and the history of Skull Island. 

A new Godzilla x Kong Location Might Bring The Missing Lion Titan Into The MonsterVerse Again

According to the Godzilla x Kong trailer, it is pretty established that the MonsterVerse is going to Egypt, which is home to an unseen yet confirmed MonsterVerse Titan. In the trailer, one can see Kong emerging from near a pyramid in Egypt, sporting a glove. In Godzilla: King of the Monsters, it was seen that Monarch Outpost 65, which is located in Cairo, Egypt, was monitoring a monster called Sekhmet. Based on legends and his whereabouts, Sekhmet is expected to have lion-like features.

In Egyptian mythology, Sekhmet is the goddess of healing who created the vast deserts of Egypt with her hot breath. In mythology, she looks like a humanoid with a lion’s head so it is not an out-of-the-box expectation for fans to imagine this monster’s likeness to a lion as well. 

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire is all set to release on March 29, 2024.
