Godzilla vs. Kong: Supernova – SpaceGodzilla Coming?

by

The upcoming movie “Godzilla x Kong: Supernova” could significantly elevate the franchise due to a key element being more prominently featured. It’s remarkable how Legendary’s Monsterverse has evolved since 2014 with the release of “Godzilla”. This film redefined Godzilla as Earth’s guardian, fighting Titans that appeared to cause destruction. The arrival of Kong in 2017 was followed by a sequel for Godzilla, and they eventually clashed in “Godzilla vs. Kong” in 2021. This encounter set the foundation for them to team up, a concept that will be continued in “Godzilla x Kong: Supernova”.

The latest installment in the Monsterverse series, featuring Godzilla and Kong, has seen significant progress following the success of “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire.” A predominantly fresh group of human characters joins some familiar ones, as the main plot remains shrouded in mystery. Warner Bros. and Legendary’s unveiling of the title “Godzilla x Kong: Supernova” fuels much speculation about the storyline, including conjecture on potential villains and indications that the franchise may fully utilize an underdeveloped aspect.

Godzilla x Kong: Supernova’s Title Suggests A Very Cosmic Film

Earth may not be the only planet that has titans

On May 9th, Warner Bros. posted a video revealing that the upcoming Godzilla and Kong movie is currently in production and officially named it “Supernova.” The term “supernova” refers to a massive stellar explosion that may result in a star becoming a neutron star or black hole.

In a fresh and fitting twist for the Monsterverse, the movie Godzilla vs. Kong: Supernova delves into cosmic elements. Up until now, the franchise has predominantly explored how these titanic creatures are intertwined with Earth’s past, revealing hidden histories, societies, and locales associated with Godzilla, Kong, and other colossal beings. Rarely have the films gazed at the celestial realm; however, it seems that Supernova is venturing there.

The Monsterverse Has Barely Utilized Cosmic Elements So Far

Most of the conflicts with titans have developed on Earth

In the Monsterverse, there is still much unexplored territory beyond our planet Earth. The series has barely touched upon the cosmic realm, with King Ghidorah being a hint of this in the film “Godzilla: King of the Monsters.” Although it was suggested that Ghidorah is an extraterrestrial, the movie did not delve into details about his origin or how he arrived on Earth. This has left fans hoping for more cosmic narratives and characters within the franchise, but the recent films focusing on Godzilla and Kong have not fulfilled this expectation.

In the absence of King Ghidorah, the Monsterverse lacked the chance to delve into the dragon’s extraterrestrial origins naturally. Instead, the films emphasized its Earthly aspects, introducing antagonists rooted in Earth’s ancient history. While there have been sci-fi elements, the connection to outer space has not yet been established. With Godzilla x Kong: Supernova seemingly promising a more cosmic narrative, it may be beneficial to revisit Ghidorah’s past and understand how it relates to Godzilla, particularly if it intends to introduce other celestial beings.

The Monsterverse Embracing A Cosmic Focus Can Help Set Godzilla x Kong: Supernova Apart

Supernova needs to get the franchise away from Hollow Earth

The setting for the last two movies in the Godzilla vs. Kong series and the Monarch series has been the Hollow Earth. Although it’s central to the Monsterverse and offers fascinating aspects, it’s beginning to feel repetitive. To revitalize this franchise, exploring the cosmos could be the solution, especially given the success of the latest film. Introducing extraterrestrial titans might challenge the limits of absurd storylines for this series, but remember that Godzilla has previously engaged in battles with aliens.

Intriguing theories propose that the film “Godzilla x Kong: Supernova” might feature two potential villains: Gigan or SpaceGodzilla. The first, Gigan, is an alien cyborg monster, initially introduced in the 1972 film “Godzilla vs. Gigan”. He often works alongside Ghidorah to subjugate Earth. However, given the title, SpaceGodzilla appears to be a stronger candidate, as he was born from fragments of Godzilla’s genetic material that fell into a black hole. The title suggests that a black hole could play a role in the story, which might imply that SpaceGodzilla will be the upcoming antagonist. Regardless of who it is, the excitement lies in witnessing how Kong and Godzilla confront an interstellar adversary.
