Godzilla vs. Kongcomposer Junkie XL has released King Kong’s theme for the upcoming film. The duel between two of film’s most iconic, gigantic, and beloved monsters will hopefully be as epic as the trailers have made it look, and an epic battle needs some epic music to go along with it. Godzilla vs. Kong is scheduled for an international release on March 24 and a U.S. release on March 31, both in theaters and on HBO Max.
The showdown between Godzilla and Kong has been highly anticipated by audiences for years, but it’s been brewing even longer in the internal story of the MonsterVerse. Trailers for the film have made mention of an ancient titan war, which saw the ancestors of the two titular beasts pitted against one another. That history of conflict, combined with both Godzilla and Kong’s bids for alpha status in the titan world, has set them on an unavoidable collision course.
Godzilla vs. Kong composer Tom Holkenborg, better known as Junkie XL, has released a part of his score for the upcoming film – Kong’s theme, titled “Skull Island.” The seven-minute track is a sweeping and emotional piece, reflective of both King Kong’s life of isolation and his impending battle with Godzilla. Holkenborg’s instrumentation is broad and effective, setting the stage for the MonsterVerse’s two lead titans to finally meet on the fields of battle.
Unlike Godzilla, whose nomadic nature has him constantly travelling around the globe, Kong has always been a solitary creature. Even after Godzilla’s rise as alpha of the titan world, Kong never left his home on Skull Island. Only now, in the new film, will Kong depart and only after being captured by Monarch. That backstory makes Kong even more of a sympathetic character, as he seemed uninterested in fighting until he was forced to confront Godzilla.
Godzilla himself has been pitched much more as a villain this time around, with his previously peaceful demeanor mysteriously replaced with a rampage of carnage. It’s been heavily hinted Godzilla is not fully in control of himself, and some have even theorized the lizard is actually Mechagodzilla in disguise, serving someone else’s nefarious purposes. The trailers have made it clear Godzilla and Kong will battle several times over the course of the film, though a single winner has been promised by the end. Hopefully, Godzilla vs. Kong will be as tense and epic in scale as its score from Junkie XL.
