MOVIE NEWS – The Godzilla vs. Kong 2 teaser suggests that Kong may unlock even greater strength in the upcoming MonsterVerse installment.

The “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire” teaser trailer offers insights on how Kong might grow more powerful in the MonsterVerse. The footage hints at a new villain, seemingly belonging to Kong’s species, who might make their debut in the MonsterVerse.

The Godzilla vs. Kong sequel promises to unveil more about Kong’s history in the MonsterVerse. An initial plot summary reveals that the two Titans will confront a formidable adversary from Hollow Earth. This antagonist is evidently connected to both Godzilla and Kong’s pasts. Given that the villain is a Kong, the movie will likely explore the origins of Kong’s species in greater depth, delving into their activities in Hollow Earth and their conflict with Godzilla’s lineage.

Godzilla vs. Kong 2’s Villain May Hold the Key to Kong’s New Power Boost

The teaser could be alluding to a potential power upgrade for Kong. The footage highlights a peculiar feature of the new Kong: his blue eyes emit an unnatural glow. While the trailer does not elaborate on the significance of this trait, there is an existing explanation. As revealed in Godzilla vs. Kong, Godzilla’s power, which APEX seeks, resides in Hollow Earth. Considering this link, it is plausible that the villain in Godzilla vs. Kong 2 has tapped into Godzilla’s energy, paving the way for Kong to acquire this enhancement as well.

The Kongs utilized their axes to weaponize Godzilla’s energy, but it seems one Kong managed to further evolve this ability. The mere possibility of such a scenario indicates that Kong might also make a similar breakthrough. If their opponent poses a genuine threat to the world, Kong may need to harness some of Godzilla’s power to prevail in the upcoming battle. He could receive the power directly from Godzilla, or perhaps the source used by the villain will provide the upgrade.

Could Kong’s Power Boost Help Him Defeat Godzilla?

The prospect of Kong receiving an increase in power in “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire” may reignite the debate regarding his standing against Godzilla. While Godzilla vs. Kong concluded with Godzilla’s indisputable dominance, Kong’s potential power surge could challenge that. Whether it would be enough to surpass Godzilla’s strength depends on the magnitude of the upgrade. Given Godzilla’s decisive victory, Kong would require a substantial power boost to outshine his rival.
