Godzilla x Kong: Supernova announced – but can the sequel fix what fans hated?
Kaiju fans, brace yourselves because the next chapter in the Monsterverse saga officially has a name, and it is fiery. Legendary Pictures just revealed that Godzilla x Kong: Supernova is on its way, with an exclusive theatre release date set for March 26, 2026. Or wait, was it 2027? There is already chaos in the timeline, as fans spotted a conflicting date of March 26, 2027 in a cheeky tweet by the official account.
Please stand by. Your call is very important to us.#GodzillaXKong: Supernova | Now in production. Only in theaters March 26, 2027 Report a Titan Sighting. Call (240) MON-ARCH pic.twitter.com/IpqgRTTK4r
The Titans are back, and so are the internet's hot takes
Directed by Grant Sputore, known for the sci-fi gem I Am Mother, this sequel is still very much in production. But the hype machine is already in full swing. The official Godzilla x Kong page on X (yes, formerly Twitter, we know, cringe) dropped a cryptic message: 'Please stand by. Your call is very important to us.' It also came with a phone number, yes, really, inviting fans to report a Titan sighting.
Fan reactions: More roars, less bores?
Of course, the fans wasted no time sliding into comment sections with raw, unfiltered energy. One long-time Godzilla enthusiast made it clear: they are only hyped if Big G gets the screen time he deserves. Others practically begged the studio not to fumble the script, with someone straight-up saying that the writing better not be trash this time. Many seem haunted by memories of Godzilla being sidelined in the previous film.
New faces, old monsters, and a world on the brink
Godzilla x Kong: Supernova will throw fresh human characters into the mix, all while the Titans (yes, Godzilla and Kong, our giant angry boys) deal with a looming world-ending catastrophe. Basically, it is going to be chaotic, dramatic, and hopefully epic.
Godzilla x Kong: Supernova star cast
The cast lineup is actually stacked: Kaitlyn Dever, Jack O'Connell, Delroy Lindo, Matthew Modine, Alycia Debnam-Carey, and Sam Neill are all on board. Oh, and Dan Stevens is back as Trapper Beasley, the monster vet from The New Empire, aka the Monsterverse's highest-grossing film so far.
The screenplay is penned by Dave Callaham, the genius behind Shang-Chi, so fingers crossed the dialogue will slay this time. And yes, the Monsterverse continues to spread like Godzilla fan theories, with Netflix's Skull Island and Apple TV's Monarch: Legacy of Monsters already expanding the universe.
So, what now? Well, keep your calendars messy for 2027, the Titans are coming, and they are coming loud. Just pray the plot does not get buried under buildings again.

‘Indian Kanye West': Badshah's ‘I'd rather make babies with her' comment for Dua Lipa irks the internet
Singer and rapper Badshah recently made headlines for his drastic weight loss. He's once again in the spotlight—not for his music, but for his comment about Dua Lipa. The rapper's response to a fan's question about a potential collaboration with the global pop star has sparked backlash online. (Also Read: Hania Aamir cheers for Badshah amid calls to boycott Pakistani talent following Pahalgam terror attack) On Friday, Badshah took to X (formerly Twitter) and wrote, 'Dua Lipa ❤️.' A fan then asked if he was making a track with the singer, to which Badshah replied, 'I'd rather make babies with her, bro.' While some fans found his remark hilarious and praised his confidence, others called it inappropriate and tone-deaf. A Reddit user shared his tweets on the platform and wrote, 'Badshah sir, ye kaisi Dua?' Another commented, 'WHAT'S WITH THIS 'HAVE BABIES' JOKE? How can you say that and not be so disgusted with yourself you want to bathe!' A third user said, 'EWWWWW, what a creep. Women really can't catch a break online or in real life.' Others added, 'Indian Kanye West,' 'This is disgusting,' and 'This is too much.' Some fans, however, made light of the comment. Badshah recently raised eyebrows with his dramatic weight loss transformation. Some praised his new look, and others compared him to AP Dhillon. In 2022, he opened up about his weight loss journey during an appearance on Shilpa Shetty Kundra's show. He said, 'I had many reasons for losing weight. We did no shows during the lockdown, and when live performances resumed, I realised I didn't have the stamina. My work requires me to be active for 120 minutes or so when performing on stage. I started panting in just 15 minutes. As a performer, I have to give my best. That was a major reason.' Meanwhile, Badshah is now gearing up for his The Un-Finished Tour in the US. The tour kicks off with a show in Virginia on September 5, followed by performances in New Jersey, the Bay Area, Seattle, and Dallas, before concluding on September 20 at Now Arena in Chicago.

Meghan Markle's viral baby bump clip triggers conspiracy theories: 'It's a moonbump'
Just when you thought royal drama had simmered down, Meghan Markle broke the internet again, and no, it is not because of a scandalous Netflix deal or a new podcast drop. This time, it is her pregnant twerking video that has conspiracy theorists foaming at the mouth. A throwback that broke the internet To celebrate her daughter Lilibet's fourth birthday, the Duchess of Sussex posted a throwback video that was supposed to be heartwarming. Spoiler alert: it turned into a full-blown online spectacle. The clip features Meghan, nine months pregnant, dancing her heart out in a hospital room to Starrkeisha's 'Baby Mama.' Prince Harry even makes a cameo before she breaks into some joyful twerking, all while heavily pregnant. The fakest bump I've ever seen in my life Seems wholesome, right? Not to the trolls of the internet. Moonbump conspiracies take over social media Conspiracy theorists on X (formerly known as Twitter, but still just as chaotic) wasted zero time. They dove in headfirst, accusing Meghan of faking her pregnancy again — with one term trending harder than ever: moonbump. According to some very loud keyboard warriors, her bump was 'too high,' 'too firm,' or just moved 'weird.' Others screamed 'AI-generated!' or claimed the hospital looked like a set built for a Lifetime movie. Markle's bump is 100% fake though -- she's mocking women in labour and taunting the Royal Family with her fraudulent children. Nurses, IV drips, and internet investigators One self-identified nurse went viral claiming Meghan should have had a cannula or IV drip if she was really in labour. Another claimed her ability to dance at full-term was 'superhuman,' clearly forgetting that Meghan was not strapped to a bed but literally just vibing. Screenshots flew. Zoomed-in freeze frames appeared with childish annotations. Someone even tried to point out inconsistencies based on her jewellery and lack of medical equipment. Because obviously, nothing screams 'conspiracy confirmed' like earrings in a maternity ward. Sweet family moments amidst the madness Still, Meghan stayed cool. Alongside the video, she dropped unseen photos of Harry and baby Lilibet, including a barefoot beach stroll and a sweet newborn cuddle. She called the duo the 'sweetest bond' and described her daughter as Harry's 'favourite adventurer.' Even while the name Lilibet still stirs royal tension, with some reports claiming the late Queen was less than thrilled, Meghan is clearly unbothered. She is busy harvesting honey with her daughter and planning potential future businesses together. The internet might be spiralling, but Meghan Markle? She is still out here dancing, glowing, and telling her own story, moonbump or not.
