The ultimate movie-monster battle will be jaw-dropping if the first Godzilla vs. Kong movie trailer, which dropped Sunday, is any indication.
Fans will be able to cheer for their favorite kaiju monster when Godzilla vs. Kong arrives March 26 in theaters outside of the US — and then on March 31 in the US on HBO Max and in theaters.
In the meantime, check out some exciting battle scenes between Godzilla and King Kong in the movie trailer from Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures.

The trailer gives more clues about what will happen in the movie, including about Kong and his protectors, who are on a quest to help Kong find his real home. Kong makes friends with an orphan child named Jia, who is the only one who can really communicate with him. She even makes him his own Kong doll.
But their quest gets complicated when they cross paths with the king of angry movie monsters: Godzilla. Apparently, something is provoking Godzilla into hurting humans and demolishing cities.
In the trailer, the two monsters start fighting when Kong delivers a mean right hook. The fight looks amazing from the get-go.
Godzilla vs. Kong is directed by Adam Wingard (), and stars actors Alexander Skarsgard, Millie Bobby Brown, Rebecca Hall and Kyle Chandler.
There are many Godzilla and King Kong movies already out there, but Godzilla vs. Kong is actually a shared universe of films that follow Godzilla (2014), (2017) and (2019).
Fans of both Godzilla and King Kong took to Twitter with their initial reactions about the trailer.
That Godzilla vs Kong trailer was so fucking goofy and ridiculous I love it so much and I’m so excited.

So Kong looks like the main character and I don’t like it 😭.
And if I know WB they’re gonna give the W to the one that grossed more 😭.

Per USA Today, the little girl in the trailer who befriends Kong is Jia (played by Kaylee Hottle). From her tattoos she seems to be Iwi… about time someone from Skull Island got to be an actual character. pic.twitter.com/xN11uN9ftR
