New Godzilla: King of the Monsters footage is shown off at this week’s CinemaCon which introduces none other than the cosmic dragon, King Ghidorah.
The extended scene shows King Ghidorah busting out of ice destroying everything, but then Godzilla arrives “for a battle of fire and ice.” A Twitter user described the scene stating, “The monster action looks violently gorgeous.”
The full description for the Godzilla: King of the Monsters CinemaCon footage includes that the trailer starts with an introduction by Mille Bobbie Brown’s character, Madison Russell. The earth is destroyed and the nation’s capital is on fire. Humans are working underground at an ice station trying to find a solution by waking the monsters in hopes that they will fight for them. Instead, when they wake up Ghidorah, their base is destroyed and they are left running for safety. Vera Farmiga’s character, Dr. Emma Russell, is the one who makes the call to awaken the great Ghidorah, but the three-headed titan rises up and attacks the humans and soldiers. Help arrives in the form of Godzilla as the two square off, and Farmiga tells her family she is saving the world. Mothra is seen flying over a city creating gusts of wind that blows back the humans on the ground. Godzilla, Ghidorah, Rodan, and Mothra are all shown in battle, with atomic breath and lightning bolts being spewed about.
Godzilla: King of the Monsters gets released May 31, 2019 starring Millie Bobby Brown, Vera Farmiga, Charles Dance, Kyle Chandler, Bradley Whitford, Thomas Middleditch, Sally Hawkins, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Ziyi Zhang, and Ken Watanabe.
The new story follows the heroic efforts of the crypto-zoological agency Monarch as its members face off against a battery of god-sized monsters, including the mighty Godzilla, who collides with Mothra, Rodan, and his ultimate nemesis, the three-headed King Ghidorah. When these ancient super-species—thought to be mere myths—rise again, they all vie for supremacy, leaving humanity’s very existence hanging in the balance.
