One of the big rumors in regards to Godzilla vs. Kong has centered on Mechagodzilla, with many fans speculating that the film will bring the Kaiju character into Legendary’s MonsterVerse. Mechagodzilla first appeared in1974’s Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla, presented as a sort of mechanical anti-Godzilla who has frequently served as Godzilla’s adversary.
You may have spotted what certainly *looks* to be Mechagodzilla in the opening seconds of today’s Godzilla vs. Kong trailer, leaving a path of destruction in its wake. The trailer goes on to suggest that Godzilla has essentially turned mega-evil and nobody is sure why, but could it be that it’s actually Godzilla’s mech-doppelganger who’s wreaking havoc here?
And will Godzilla and Kong eventually team up to fight this new foe? It’s all speculation on our part at this time, but the trailer sure seems to be suggesting something of the sort…
Check out a few screen-grabs from the trailer below.
Godzilla vs. Kong will be unleashed in theaters and HBO Max on March 26.
“Legends collide as these mythic adversaries meet in a spectacular battle for the ages, with the fate of the world hanging in the balance. Kong and his protectors undertake a perilous journey to find his true home, and with them is Jia, a young orphaned girl with whom he has formed a unique and powerful bond. But they unexpectedly find themselves in the path of an enraged Godzilla, cutting a swath of destruction across the globe. The epic clash between the two titans—instigated by unseen forces—is only the beginning of the mystery that lies deep within the core of the Earth.”
Godzilla vs. Kong was directed by Adam Wingard (The Guest, You’re Next).
