Godzilla Vs. Kong Trailer: 10 Things To Get Excited About

10. The Revival Of The MonsterVerse

The MonsterVerse risked fizzling out after the commercial disappointment of King of the Monsters. After Godzilla (2014) and Kong: Skull Island (2017) both brought back modest profits for Warner Bros. studios, the latest film didn't even get over the $400 million mark worldwide despite being the most expensive entry in the franchise to date.

As it happens however, the new trailer has generated a lot of hype since it dropped on Sunday. With the global pandemic meaning there are few other movies to get excited about right now, this mouth-watering battle royale is getting more attention that perhaps it would if it were being released in a more congested blockbuster season.

Exactly how many people will be able to see it in cinemas come the end of March is an open question, but rest assured the producers will be watching the streaming numbers from HBO Max as much as they will be watching the box office.

With little to no competition and seemingly more excitement than any franchise entry to date, could this be the shot in the arm that the MonsterVerse needs?
