'Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire' sees the legendary monsters team up against a new enemy. Here's everything we know about the upcoming sequel.

It's been over two years since Godzilla and Kong waged war against each other in "Godzilla vs. Kong" before teaming up to take down Mechagodzilla in Hong Kong. The climactic battle showed how formidable the duo are when working together, hinting at the potential for bigger stories down the line.

Audiences won't have to wait much longer to see them partner up again though. "Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire" will release on April 12, 2024.

In the meantime, fans of the MonsterVerse can watch Apple TV+'s "Monarch: Legacy of Monsters," starring Kurt Russell and Wyatt Russell. It fills in the backstory behind the organization which is dedicated to finding Titans across the world in the hopes of preventing future disasters.

"The New Empire" will pick up after the events of "Godzilla vs. Kong," which saw Kong move down into the Hollow Earth to rule over all the monsters that live inside the planet, while Godzilla still roams the oceans.

The first synopsis from WB teases that a new threat against the planet emerges, and that the movie will also be exploring the history of the Titans themselves:

"This latest entry follows up the explosive showdown of Godzilla vs. Kong with an all-new cinematic adventure, pitting the almighty Kong and the fearsome Godzilla against a colossal undiscovered threat hidden within our world, challenging their very existence — and our own. The epic new film will delve further into the histories of these Titans, their origins, and the mysteries of Skull Island and beyond, while uncovering the mythic battle that helped forge these extraordinary beings and tied them to humankind forever."

And judging by the bloody first poster for the sequel, it looks like a new gigantic ape will be challenging Kong for the throne. The studio also seemingly revealed the villain's name in the Instagram post too: "Skar King."

It's not clear how or why this new Titan has gone undiscovered for so long, but the film will likely explain that too.

Let's face it, the audience really isn't coming to these movies for the human characters. That being said, "The New Empire" is bringing back a few actors from "Godzilla vs. Kong."

Rebecca Hall is reprising her role as Dr. Ilene Andrews alongside Kaylee Hottle, who plays Andrews' surrogate daughter, Jia.

"Eternals" star Brian Tyree Henry is also returning to play conspiracy theorist Bernie Hayes, who had a key role in the previous film.

Meanwhile, "Beauty and the Beast" star Dan Stevens is a newcomer to the franchise, although his role is being kept under wraps for now. He'll also be joined by Scottish actor Alex Ferns, who was previously seen as the corrupt police commissioner in "The Batman."
