Godzilla vs. Kong will be released in 2021 as a sequel to King of the Monsters and Kong: Skull Island.

The film is getting a sequel.

With the fate of the Earth at risk, "Godzilla vs. Kong" reunites two great foes. A perilous journey brings Kong and his guards to Jia, a small orphaned girl with whom Kong has formed an unbreakable bond of love and devotion. They find themselves in the path of an enraged Godzilla. It is just the beginning of the mystery that lies deep inside the Earth's core.

Meanwhile, Apex founder and CEO Walter Simmons engages Nathan Lind, a former Monarch scientist turned Hollow Earth theorist, to assist them in their hunt for a tremendous energy source in the Hollow Earth, a subterranean planet under the Earth and the secret home of the Titans. Nathan is first skeptical, since his brother attempted to investigate the Hollow Earth and was killed by a powerful anti-gravity field within the tube. He ultimately accepts when Walter explains that Apex has constructed Hollow Earth Aerial Vehicles, customized ship capable of withstanding the gravity field's pressure.

To assist them in navigating to the Hollow Earth, Nathan travels to Skull Island and meets with his colleague, Monarch anthropological linguist and Jia's adoptive mother Ilene Andrews, with the idea of using Kong as their navigator to guide them to the energy source, as Skull Island is no longer able to contain him and allow him to survive (due to Kong's size). Though Ilene first refuses, explaining that Godzilla would come for Kong immediately upon his removal from Skull Island, she eventually agrees when Nathan convinces her that they must undertake this expedition in order to put an end to Godzilla's rampage and also find a new home for Kong.

Because they have no other choice, Nathan thinks that the gang should instead shut down all the ships' power to fool Godzilla into believing he destroyed them and Kong was vanquished, which finally works. He swims away, feeling he had triumphed over the enemy, after seeing the obliterated fleet. Since reactivating the ships may bring Godzilla back, they adjust their intentions and instead fly Kong to a Hollow Earth entrance site in Antarctica where Ghidorah had been frozen, where Ghidorah had originally been frozen. After that, Jia shows Kong where his house is, but Kong is apprehensive about going through the front door to see it.

Given that they cannot return Kong to Skull Island due to the cold, Nathan asks Ilene whether Kong would go down the tunnel if there are others like him. Ilene instructs Jia to ask Kong if his family is down there, causing the Titan to enter and the teams to follow in their HEAVs.

During this time, Madison and Josh come into Bernie, who recognizes Madison as Mark's daughter and decides to assist them with their inquiry since they suspect Apex was involved in Godzilla's shift in behavior. With Bernie's help, they infiltrate the devastated Apex facility, only to discover that the "eye" Bernie had mentioned before is no longer there. As they investigate a mysterious facility deep down, the gang is mistakenly imprisoned inside and carried via an underground conduit to Hong Kong in an antigravity transport vehicle transporting Skullcrawler eggs.

Walter intends to vanquish Mechagodzilla by harnessing the power of the Hollow Earth. Apex is assaulting Godzilla because he and the Titans are being replaced by humans. Mechagodzilla is being controlled by Ren, who is seated within Apex's severed Ghidorah head five years after it was obtained from Alan Jonah.

Kong and Nathan's team continue their journey to a majestic stone temple that belonged to Kong's ancestors. Kong finds an ancient axe carved from a deceased Godzilla's race member's dorsal plate as they make their way into the ruins of an old fight between Kong and Godzilla's race. Kong's axe may also be replenished by this source of power. Maia and the Apex team use spider-like drones to capture the power source and send it back to their Hong Kong headquarters, despite Ilene's concerns that Apex cannot merely seize the find of the century. When the guardians of Maia open fire on Nathan's team, Kong cries back with all his might. Godzilla races to Hong Kong as soon as he discovers the activation of Mechagodzilla.

Kong accepts Godzilla's challenge and sets off with his axe towards Hong Kong, while Ilene, Nathan, and Jia follow in their HEAV, a hole created by Godzilla's atomic breath. When Kong fights Godzilla in Hong Kong again, he gains the upper hand and shoves his axe down Godzilla's throat, preventing him from unleashing his atomic breath. Kong attacks Godzilla with his axe, but Godzilla removes and discards the axe. Kong reclaims his axe and attacks Godzilla, generating an explosion that knocks both Titans back, giving Nathan the idea that Kong had won the second round of the fight with Godzilla.

Back at the Apex headquarters, Walter enthusiastically instructs Ren to dispatch Mechagodzilla to slay Godzilla. Despite Ren's warnings not to use the new Hollow Earth energy source without first testing it, Walter dismisses his concerns and orders the mecha to be activated. At the same time, security apprehends Bernie, Madison, and Josh for breaking into Apex headquarters and transports them to Walter. Madison accuses Walter of inciting Godzilla to war and for all of this to happen in the first place, however he boldly argues that he took responsibility for allowing humans to fight back against Godzilla and the Titans.

Madison seeks aid from Mark, as Josh and Bernie try to use remote control to stop the renegade robot. Godzilla and Mechagodzilla battle, with Godzilla getting the upper hand and burning him. While Mechagodzilla continues to batter Godzilla, the three approach an unconscious Kong, where Jia notes that his pulse is weakening as they approach him. Because the HEAVs are incapable of producing a large enough charge to restart Kong's heart, Nathan recalls Maia's earlier comment about the HEAVs producing enough energy to power Las Vegas for a week, and he flies the final HEAV onto Kong's chest and sets it to self-destruct, detonating the craft and unleashing a massive electrical charge that instantly revives Kong.

After waking up, Kong sees the fight between Godzilla and Mechagodzilla before encountering Jia, who attempts to persuade Kong that Godzilla isn't truly his foe. Though Kong does not believe her at first as he continues to witness Godzilla being annihilated by Mechagodzilla, Jia eventually discloses the truth to him, revealing that the robot, not Godzilla, is the "real" adversary. Kong agrees and sets aside his resentment after a brief moment of reflection before marching into combat to assist Godzilla and repair his dislocated limb.

Godzilla notices Kong holding his axe and supercharges it with his atomic breath, allowing Kong to dismember Mechagodzilla limb by limb and tear its head off before resting his treasure.

While Nathan and Ilene sit together amid the rubble, Jia reunites with Mark, who she meets for the first time and introduces him to Josh and Bernie. Mark is happy to see Josh and Bernie, and Bernie invites him onto his podcast to speak about the Monarch facility in Roswell. Godzilla approaches Kong, leading the Titan to take his axe and ready to continue the battle, interrupting their peaceful moment. Godzilla, on the other hand, does not attack and instead just stares Kong down. Kong, seeing that their actual adversary has been slain, lowers his axe, thereby putting an end to the conflict between his people and Godzilla's people. Now that they are no longer competitors, Godzilla and Kong see each other as equals before Godzilla returns to the sea quietly, with Kong and the whole human population looking on in wonder.

Similar thoughts were reflected in the site's summary of audience evaluations, which said, "This long-awaited blockbuster matchup makes it easy not to think about the so-so story and characters by serving up plenty of action and incredible effects." Reviewers largely enjoyed the film's monster brawling aspect, but some were disappointed by the "half-baked" human element that was included in the film. The film was credited for bringing an end to a box office slump fueled by the COVID-19 epidemic, having earned an estimated $48.5 million dollars at the United States box office by the morning of Sunday, the last day of the film's five-day weekend run. It was not immediately clear how well the picture fared on HBO Max, but WarnerMedia indicated that it was a film that people were viewing more than once and that it had a greater viewer audience than any other series or feature that has been released on the service since its introduction. The picture also experienced strong overseas box office performance, with an extra gross of around $236 million in regions outside than the United States.

As of April 17, 2021, the total box office for Godzilla: King of the Monsters has been eclipsed by Godzilla: Godzilla vs. Kong.

Terry Rossio's first Godzilla film following his unmade 1994 script.

Chandler has appeared in every King Kong film, Godzilla: King of the Monsters, and every crossover movie between the two.

Actor Michael Chandler is the only individual to have been in the casts of three different King Kong, Godzilla, and Godzilla-Godzilla crossover films, all directed by the same person, and all starring the same cast members.

Godzilla vs. Kong is the MonsterVerse's shortest film, clocking in at little over an hour.

The scene when Kong slams his dislocated right shoulder against a structure to reposition it may be a homage to Martin Riggs' notorious ability in the Lethal Weapon series.

The film makes multiple allusions to NGE:

The sequence when Kong hops from ship-to-ship is comparable to a scenario where Eva Unit-02 jumps from ship-to-ship attempting to dodge an angel, much like Godzilla.

The location where Mechagodzilla is stationed, which is subterranean and topped by a pyramid, is reminiscent of the Central Dogma, which is also underground and topped by a pyramid.
