Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
Godzilla vs. Kongis the latest in a long line of big silver screen confrontation , although some of its similarities toBatman v Superman : Dawn of Justiceare getting bizarre . The fourth flick in the emergent MonsterVerse afterGodzilla , Kong : Skull IslandandGodzilla : King of the Monsters , Adam Wingard ’s 2020 tentpole will pit Gojira against the King of the Apes just as Zack Snyder ’s picture show did Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent four age too soon .
It ’s hardly surprising thatGodzilla vs. Konghas already quarter comparisons toBatman v Superman . It ’s two iconic characters fighting against each other while expanding a shared universe , all under the weight of great cultural significance ; just as the Dark Knight and Man of Steel had fought multiple multiplication previously in the comics ( and spent substantially longer as the World ’s Finest ) , 1962’sKing Kong vs. Godzillamashed the two monster together .

Now those comparisons have rifle a step further . It was latterly announce thatGodzilla vs. Kongwas affect release particular date , shifting two month earlier from May 22 to March 13 to avoid competition withFast & Furious 9as 2020 ’s pic slating fills up . Anybody intimate withBatman v Superman ’s draw out development will remember a very similar place for its 2016 release ; it motivate from May 6 to March 25 to avoid competition withCaptain America : polite War(after already once being pushed back from 2015 ) .
This is , like all the previously cited comparisons , a case of coincidence center on both films being positioned as major Warner Bros. releases in their respective years ; tentpoles move around for each other is a normal part of the motion-picture show business . It ’s plainly humorous so many production similarity are staking up for movies with such comparable premises , and for certain does n’t attest to any creative comparability - good or inauspicious - between the DCEU and MonsterVerse . In fact , just asDC Films looks to be gaining a corking prospicient - condition stress , so too does theGodzillafranchise take care to be learning commercial misstep .
There are , indeed , many more differences betweenGodzilla vs. KongandBatman v Superman . The MonsterVerse bout is currently framed as something of a culmination , being the fourth entry in its franchise , whereas the DC version ended up being more of a stepping gem from Superman standalone toJustice League . And it must be added that those stories came about from diametrical artistic voices : Zack Snyder was the auteur of the DCEU(at least to a dot ) , while dissimilar director have accept on Godzilla and Kong with each new Legendary film .
At nowadays there ’s precious concrete information on whatGodzilla vs. Kong ’s story will be ( beyond the titular bout ) . Millie Bobby Brown and Kyle Chandler return fromGodzilla : King of the Monsters , a pic whose cease may directly lead into why the Skull Island ruler is even needed in the first home , link byBrian Tyree Henry , Alexander Skarsgård , Jessica Henwick , Lance Reddick , Rebecca Hall , Eliza González and Demián Bichir . As with genius - studded superhero motion picture , perhaps the real conflict is between agent .
