Godzilla vs. Kong Moves Up Its Release By 9 Weeks

It looks like Warner Bros. have strapped their big boy pants on and gotten cocky. After the barnstorming success of their Conjuring shared universe, the newly-minted success of the DCEU with Aquaman, and even a Space Jam sequel on the books, their ‘MonsterVerse’ is set to take something of a victory lap in 2020 with Godzilla vs. Kong.

Originally slated to go up against Fast and Furious 9 and The Spongebob Movie – tough competition to be sure – the film has now moved up by nine weeks to a slot solely occupied by Fox’s Gambit. This is the third release change for Godzilla vs. Kong, all of which have been to bring the film forward – a promising sign of confidence in the project.

The film will be the fourth in the so-called MonsterVerse, following 2014’s Godzilla, 2017’s Kong: Skull Island, and this year’s forthcoming Godzilla: King of the Monsters, due out on the 31st of May.

Godzilla vs. Kong will release on the 13th of March, 2020, and will star Eiza González, Danai Gurira, Alexander Skarsgård, Millie Bobby Brown, Kyle Chandler, and Julian Dennison.
