When you think of Kong, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? Maybe it's the sheer size of him, which is fair. They don’t call him King Kong for nothing. Or maybe you thought “monster” or “beast,” as Kong is a creature on a rampage in 1933’s King Kong , kidnapping Ann and having to be shot down by biplanes.
Release Date March 29, 2024 Director Adam Wingard Cast Dan Stevens , Rebecca Hall , Brian Tyree Henry , Rachel House Runtime 1h 55m The MonsterVerse Has Developed Kong’s Character Since the Beginning The MonsterVerse - which includes 2014’s Godzilla, 2017’s Kong: Skull Island, 2019’s Godzilla: King of Monsters, 2021’s Godzilla vs. Kong, and 2024’s Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire - has been hard at work breathing new life into its titular characters.
Firstly, Kong’s relationships have become important. In Godzilla vs. Kong, his relationship with Jia is essential in establishing that Kong does relate to others. She is like him, the sole survivor of her people, feeling cut off from the world around her, and this bleeds into Godzilla x Kong, where the struggle of finding a place and purpose becomes a central theme. However, in this film, Kong’s relationship with Suko takes center stage.
Of course, Kong naturally has desires, which are what makes characters interesting. They need a reason for what they do, and for Kong, we get a few. Firstly, he wants a place to belong, with other beings he can bond with. If he didn’t, he wouldn’t have gone searching for the lair with Suko, and most of the film just wouldn’t have happened. Secondly, he wants to save his home and the other apes however he can. Lastly, he wants to live.
