The sequel to Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire has received a title and a teaser video alongside the news that the project — now titled Godzilla X Kong: Supernova — has officially entered production.
The announcement was made via the film’s official social media channels. “Please stand by. Your call is very important to us. #GodzillaXKong: Supernova | Now in production,” read the post. “Only in theaters March 26, 2027.”
The post also included a phone number to call (240-MON-ARCH) and “report a titan sighting.” The teaser that accompanied the post also tied into the phone number, as it showed the offices of Monarch, the mysterious firm that tracks the monsters known as titans. When fans call the number, it leads them to an automated message direct from the organization.

Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire cracked half a billion dollars at the global box office during its worldwide theatrical run last year (nearly $572 million to be exact), with well over half of that number coming directly from the international market.
The upcoming MonsterVerse film will be directed by Grant Sputore and was written by Dave Callaham and Michael Lloyd Green. The sixth film in the MonsterVerse franchise as well as the 39th and 14th films in the Godzilla and King Kong franchises respectively, Godzilla X Kong: Supernova stars Kaitlyn Dever, Dan Stevens, and Jack O’Connell. Additionally, Delroy Lindo, Matthew Modine, Sam Neil, and Alycia Debnam-Carey round out the supporting cast.
Though it’s not part of Legendary’s MonsterVerse, Godzilla Minus One was a massive hit in 2023, scoring a VFX Oscar, the first Academy Award win for any Godzilla movie.
IGN’s Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire review returned a 6/10. We said: “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire serves up a berserk dreamscape with plenty of payoff to please the MonsterVerse faithful. Shame about the human stuff, though.”
