6. Godzilla Vs. Kong

Godzilla vs. Kong has had quite the tumultuous history getting to the screen and we don't even know anything about the plot yet.

The fourth installment in Legendary's MonsterVerse, the monster mash's release date has been pulled and pushed more times than most films will experience (y'know... other than New Mutants). In fact, we would have seen it by now had the mixed response and lukewarm box-office performance from last year's Godzilla: King of the Monsters not upended things. And following that, it was again pushed one more time from November to May 2021.

Inspired by the classic 1962 Toho film King Kong vs. Godzilla, the upcoming flick will see cinema's two greatest monsters duke it out for supremacy. A direct sequel to Godzilla, Kong: Skull Island and the aforementioned King of the Monsters, it will apparently see Kong being none too happy at Godzilla's new title as Earth's No. 1 Titan, but this writer might hazard a guess to say that it won't be long until these two titans team up for the greater good.

Are we in for another 'Save Mothra'/'Why did you say that name?!' situation?

Regardless of that, there's no denying that this one will be a cinematic spectacle, and given that it received a positive response from a recent test-screening, things are looking cautiously optimistic for the MonsterVerse.
