‘Godzilla x Kong' sequel titled ‘Supernova', production begins
The titans are back—Godzilla x Kong is officially getting a sequel, and it now has a name: Godzilla x Kong: Supernova. Warner Bros. and Legendary confirmed the title Friday and released a teaser to mark the beginning of production. The sixth film in the MonsterVerse franchise is scheduled to hit theaters on March 26, 2027. Supernova will be directed by Grant Sputore, known for the sci-fi thriller I Am Mother, and is based on a screenplay by David Callaham and Michael Lloyd Green. Plot details remain tightly guarded, but the film is expected to feature a new wave of human characters as Godzilla and Kong team up — or face off — against a cataclysmic threat with world-ending consequences. Returning to the cast is Dan Stevens, reprising his role as Trapper, the eccentric monster dentist introduced in Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. He'll be joined by Kaitlyn Dever, Jack O'Connell, Matthew Modine, Delroy Lindo, Alycia Debnam-Carey, and Sam Neill. Mary Parent and Thomas Tull return as producers. The previous film, The New Empire, directed by Adam Wingard, earned over $570 million worldwide. The franchise began with 2014's Godzilla and has since grown into a multi-film saga filled with evolving lore. In addition to the films, the MonsterVerse also extends to the small screen with Apple TV+'s Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, which has been renewed for a second season. The show stars Anna Sawai, Kiersey Clemons, and both Wyatt and Kurt Russell as different versions of the same character, Lee Shaw.

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 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.
