This article contains massiveGodzilla x Kong: The New Empireending spoilers.
Adam Wingard grew up on the Showa era ofGodzillamovies.
So thats where my inspiration from Godzilla really originates.
Hes going around and Anguirus comes up to him like, Hey buddy, whats going on?
And Godzilla tries to rip his mouth open, and its really upsetting.
He really injures Anguirus, who scampers off, and I remember feeling so bad for Anguirus.
Like really sad, because Im like, Ahh!
He feels so betrayed.
As the filmmaker admits, hes only the second director to pit Godzilla and Kong against one another.
The MonsterVerse really is going in some wild and fun directions, Wingard grins.
However,Godzilla x Kongs entire plot hinges on the king and queen of monsterdom recalling a special connection.
Like an alternate title for the film could be Kong Goes to Hell.
And thats the way I approached her as a character, very ethereal.
Shes a pure vessel within the MonsterVerse and shes like the great negotiator of the monsters.
He continues, Everybody respects Mothra.
He respects her opinion.
So Mothra says, Listen, we need your help, Godzillas gonna listen.
So its worth asking… is Wingards Mothra supposed to be the first O.G.
Mothra in the MonsterVerse?
Were just hoping for Zhang or otherwise to offer a Paradise Island ballad to Mothra in the next one.
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire is in theaters now.
