The first Godzilla vs. Kong trailer will release on Sunday, January 24, Warner Bros. has announced. For fans in India, there will be three local language versions of the Godzilla vs. Kong trailer as well – Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu in addition to the English original. Expect the trailer to arrive around the typical 10:30 – 11pm Warner time slot. Godzilla vs. Kong is the fourth entry in the so-called MonsterVerse, following up on 2017’s Kong: Skull Island and 2019’s Godzilla: King of the Monsters. It will be available on HBO Max and in US cinemas on the same day, and only in cinemas everywhere else, including in India.
Warner Bros. unveiled a new Godzilla vs. Kong poster on Thursday, and said in a caption alongside: “TRAILER SUNDAY. #GodzillaVsKong”. That’s as straightforward as you can get really. We got a (two-second) first look at Godzilla vs. Kong in an HBO Max sizzle reel unveiled last weekend, and the upcoming trailer will no doubt satisfy fans’ hunger for a proper look, who have been waiting since last year due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Godzilla vs. Kong stars Alexander Skarsgård, Millie Bobby Brown, Rebecca Hall, Brian Tyree Henry, Shun Oguri, Eiza González, Jessica Henwick, Julian Dennison, Kyle Chandler, Demián Bichir, Ronny Chieng, Chris Chalk, John Pirrucello, Zhang Ziyi, Van Marten, and Lance Reddick.
Behind the scenes, Adam Wingard directs Godzilla vs. Kong off a script by Eric Pearson and Max Borenstein. Godzilla vs. Kong is a production of Legendary Pictures, with Warner Bros. Pictures as the distributor worldwide except Japan (Toho). It’s one of the most expensive films of 2021 with an estimated $160–200 million budge.
