Godzilla Vs Kong Trailer 1 and Full Breakdown

25 The Punch.png

The first trailer for Godzilla Vs Kong has been released and it is amazing! Check it out below and I also have done our traditional full breakdown of the trailer looking out for all of the secrets. Don’t worry I’ll give a spoiler warning before talking about the big spoiler.

Wow they sure gave us a lot and also kept a ton of the movie secret. Hopefully this is the only trailer we get so we can keep most of the plot hidden. Well everyone let’s get to it:

1 Mountain Explosion.png

First off we have a mountainside exploding outwards and it is sending giant boulders flying into the city. There is a clue showing us what is causing this explosion but I’ll save that for later.

2 Kong Transport fleet.png

This is the first look we get at the fleet that has captured Kong and is escorting him somewhere. The teaser audio from the YouTube ads hints that they may be trying to use Kong to lure out Godzilla.

3 Human villain perhaps.png

This is Eiza Gonzalez’s character Maya Simmons. The trailer seems to be implying that she is a good guy but I think she may end up being our human villain. The way this shot is framed, she does not look very heroic.

4 Kong Napping.png

Kong taking a nap on his transport ship. Too much berry juice will do that to you.

5 WB Logo.png
6 Legendary Logo.png

Very cool dual logos with WB’s being Kong focused and Legendary’s being Godzilla. Also very interesting that the Kong paintings are in the style of Skull Island and Godzilla’s look more ancient.

7 Kong inspecting chains.png

Kong looks very unhappy as he inspects his bindings.

8 Alexander looking at Kong.png

Alexander Skarsgard plays Nathan Lind and appears to be the protagonist of the movie and looks to have some deep ties to Kong.

9 Girl who comunicates with Kong.png

Next up we have newcomer Kaylee Hottle as a Skull Island villager who has a special connection to Kong.

10 Kong Approaches with Axe.png

Look at my Kong doll!

11 Bonds.png

Looks like there’s gonna be a connection between the kid and Rebecca Hall’s Ilene Andrews.

12 Kong in Rainstorm.png

Kong chained up outside during the rain and the little girl comes out to try to calm him down.

13 Touching Kong.png
14 Touching Kong.png

Very sweet and tender moment and also the first shot of the trailer that is wallpaper worthy. The cinematography is beautiful.

15 Fear.png
15 Fear 2.png
15 Fear 3.png

The look of fear on all of the characters including Kong is great for setting up the tone.

16 Kings arrival.png
17 No more ship.png
17 No more ship 2.png

A king’s arrival is never silent and Godzilla’s entrance into the trailer is definitely loud. Godzilla slices a ship in half with his dorsal plates and doesn’t seem to care. Godzilla seems to be in a bad mood and unlike the previous films in the Monsterverse seems to be taking an antagonistic role.

18 Missiles do nothing.png

Missiles do nothing to stop him.

19 Taking out jets.png

Godzilla takes out one of the jets with his tail. He really is attacking the humans this time.

20 a challenge.png
21 Croc Lunge.png

Kong roars at the water angrily and Godzilla pops out like a crocodile attacking it’s prey. As a note Kong is still chained up here and has not moved onto the aircraft carrier.

22 Onto the aircraft carrier.png
23 Daylight details.png

Believe it or not this is going to be Godzilla’s first fight in the day in the entire Monsterverse so far. It really shows off how detailed the CG model is and looks amazing. Also we are seeing a return to the Gareth Edwards style from 2014 with a shot looking up at the Titans from the deck of the ship.

24 Winding up.png
25 The Punch.png
25 The Punch 2.png

Look everyone it’s the banner image! All joking aside this punch has an amazing sense of scale and weight to it!

26 Shoulder check.png
26 Shoulder check 2.png

Kong shoulder checks Godzilla off of the aircraft carrier but that quickly back fires for kong.

27 Underwater breath.png

Godzilla goes under the carrier and charges up his breath attack.

28 Die Hard.png
29 Beam to the sky.png

Kong does his best John McClane impression and jumps off the carrier in the nick of time.

30 Wading through the destruction.png

Godzilla swims away from the wrecked fleet.

31 Serizawa and Spoiler.png

Here we have Shun Oguri playing Ren Serizawa, the son of Ken Watanabe’s character who sacrificed himself to save Godzilla in King of the Monsters. Behind him is something very interesting but I’ll save that for the spoiler section.

32 Godzilla in Hong Kong.png

This may end up being one of the most beautiful shots in the entire Monsterverse. Godzilla roars surrounded by the skyline of Hong Kong with it’s neon lights.

33 Kyle Chandler is back Florida is gone.png

Kyle Chandler returns as Mark Russell and is commenting on how weird it is that Godzilla is hurting people. Also the news item on the screen is super important as it mentions Godzilla has destroyed Pensacola, Fl and destroyed the APEX plant there. What’s APEX? Tune into the spoiler section to find out.

34 God of Destruction.png
34 God of Destruction 2.png

Never thought I’d see Legendary Godzilla going full rampage but man oh man does it look great.

35 Conspiracy Board.png

Ok there is a lot to unpack in this image but the basics are that Godzilla seems to be going around the world and attacking places with an APEX facility. I think that this is the conspiacy board of Julian Dennison’s character.

36 The van.png

I love that Millie Bobby Brown is going to be driving a storm chaser vehicle after the Titans.

Speaking of Julian and Mille, here are their characters Josh Valentine and Madison Russel driving the van. She still seems to be on team Godzilla and suspects something is agitating him that noone knows about. Maybe he’s not really a villain after all.

38 Guy believes in Goji too.png

Brian Tyree Henry plays Bernie Hayes and it seems like he believes Maddison’s story.

39 Kong in Hollow Earth.png

Kong surveying Skull Island. I thought this was the Hollow Earth at first but it has a sky.

40 Hand marking.png

Kong finds a hand print made by one of his ancestors deep in the Hollow Earth.

41 Kong looks soo good.png

The level of detail on Kong in this shot is insane! Also check out the futuristic vehicle in the background! Looks like the H.E.A.V. (Hollow Earth Antigravity Vehicle) from the toys!

42 Kong with axe.png

Kong raises his battle axe and roars! The axe handle glows red and the blade…well we’ll get there.

43 Kong Vs Warbat.png

Kong fights the Warbats inside the Hollow Earth!

44 Morning Stand off.png
44 Morning Stand off 2.png

Kong and Godzilla have a stand off at dawn. Could this be after the Hong Kong battle?

45 Bats.png

Some sort of weird bat Titan down in the Hollow Earth. Maybe they are related to Camazotz?

46 Kong on glowing Goji.png

Kong seems to be standing on a glowing ancient carving of Godzilla while he fights off the bat Titans.

47 Hammerfist.png

Godzilla gets hammer fisted by Kong and pushed back.

48 Upset Alex.png

Nathan doesn’t look so good here. He’s also wearing something that looks like a pilot suit.

49 Kong Rush.png
50 Kong hopping off building.png

Kong rushes at Goji with his axe glowing blue like Godzilla’s dorsal plates.

51 Block.png
52 Kong roar.png
53 smack.png

Whoa Kong catches Godzilla’s breath weapon with the axe and smashes it into Godzilla’s face! This is definitely the thing that will give Kong an edge over Godzilla in the final fight.

Who are you rooting for in this fight?

MechaG.png

The opening shot of the trailer shows a mountain exploading but it’s so dusty you really can’t see the cause until this blink and you’ll miss it glimspe of our bigger threat of the film. MechaGodzilla is here folks and it looks like the mechanical Titan does not care about collateral damage.

31 Serizawa and Spoiler.png

The second glimpse of Mechagodzilla is actually a bit more obvious. If you look behin Ren Serizawa you can clearly see the blueprints of Mechagodzilla with some text that appears to say “Fury Systems: Maximum Charge.”

35 Conspiracy Board.png

Now it’s time to talk about APEX Cybernetics. With a name like that you know that they are behind the construction of Mechagodzilla but what is unknown at this time is their motivations. As we saw in the brief second of actual Mechagodzilla footage, MechaG doesn’t seem to care about human death which leads me to believe APEX wants to destroy the Titans no matter what. Godzilla also seems to be attracted to APEX sites across the globe which is very interesting. I wonder if the Godzilla that is destroying cities is actually MechaG in disguise?
