Perhaps it's the wake of Oppenheimer, but something has Godzilla stirring in the waters of Hollywood. The titan is now an Oscar-winning monster with Godzilla Minus One, and with Legendary's MonsterVerse, Adam Wingard's sequel Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire ushers in the next chapter. In this interview with Collider's Steve Weintraub, the director and co-writer discusses the direction he's taking this franchise in the future, from Godzilla Junior to Hollow Earth.

The New Empire is a direct follow-up to Wingard's Godzilla vs. Kong (2021), which saw the two MonsterVerse titans clash, instigated by an unseen force. Now, Monarch, Kong, and Godzilla turn their attention to a mysterious signal calling from Hollow Earth. Something is lurking in the shadows of the subterranean world, and it's going to take both monsters to protect our world as we know it. Godzilla x Kong explores the origins of these behemoth mysteries with Rebecca Hall (Resurrection), Brian Tyree Henry (Causeway), Dan Stevens (Downton Abbey), Kaylee Hottle (Godzilla vs. Kong), Fala Chen (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings), and more.
