There was no question who the stars were on 'Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire.' It wasn’t Rebecca Hall, Brian Tyree Henry, Dan Stevens or any of the humans. As actors have known since the early days of cinema, the star is the one with their character’s name in the title, even if in this case they never actually, technically, came to set. 'They are the stars of the movie,' Hall told The Associated Press. 'We’re the scale.
The film, in theaters everywhere March 29, is a sequel to 'Godzilla vs. Kong,' the 2021 showdown between the 393-foot Godzilla and 337-foot Kong. It’s also continuation of Legendary’s Monsterverse that goes back to 2014's 'Godzilla' and 2017's 'Kong: Skull Island.' If there seems to be an inherent stakes issue of 'where do you go after the versus,' for filmmaker Adam Wingard the path seemed clear.
Wingard liked being part of that moment when theater owners were reassured that audiences still wanted to come to the cinemas. But he’s excited to just get a normal release this time, without the pandemic caveat. Both Godzilla and Kong are some of the oldest movie stars still in action, after all. 'It’s so massive in scale. It’s so grand,' Henry said. 'This is the kind of movie you go to the theaters for because you don’t want to be the only one Kong necking.
