Warner Bros. has released another newGodzilla vs. Kongtrailer, and while the film continues to look great, these two lovable chunky bois still refuse to kiss and make up. The epic MonsterVerse showdown is directed byAdam Wingard(DeathNote) and builds on the foundation set by the two most recentGodzillamovies andKong: Skull Island, but all involved have made clear you don’t need to have seen those films in order to understand the story ofGodzilla vs. Kong. Which, frankly, is secondary to the spectacular CG showdown teased in the title.
Most of the marketing thus far has been showing both monsters running towards one another, mouths agape, ready to trade blows. But the marketingalsomakes it look like this duo, frankly, should kiss. What a delightful twist that would be ifGodzilla vs. Kongended in one giant makeout session.

Alas, it’s not meant to be, and as this trailer makes clear there can only be one winner in this battle. So place your bets. Will it be the thick lizard who lives in the sea or the powerful ape who just wants to enjoy some peace and quiet on his island? Or will the two make up (platonically) to battle some shared evil? Whoever loses, we win.
