The upcoming Adam Wingard-directed “Godzilla vs. Kong” marks the culmination of a four-film arc that began with the “Godzilla” reboot back in 2014. Originally slated to arrive this month, it was pushed back late last year to November 20th 2020.
Even so, it’s now looking like the film could be pushed back a further six months according to a poster on Reddit (via CBM. Said poster discovered an Amazon listing that indicates the tie-in art book, “The Art Of Godzilla vs. Kong,” was originally set for release November 17th (three days before the film opened) but now won’t arrive until May 21st 2021.
If the film is delayed to then it actually makes sense. Warners has the fourth “The Matrix” film scheduled for that date, a production that had begun shooting for only a few weeks before the shutdown happened. That production is currently targeting a July 6th restart but even so will likely not complete filming until November and would be hard pressed to meet its original May 21st 2021 release date.
“Godzilla vs. Kong” on the other hand completed shooting almost a year ago and should be nearly complete. The film has yet to release any publicity material whatsoever and so a date change is quite easy to do at this point. Wingard helms the film from a script by Terry Rossio. It stars Julian Dennison, Rebecca Hall, Kyle Chandler, Millie Bobby Brown, Brian Tyree Henry, Alexander Skarsgard, Zhang Ziyi, Lance Reddick, Eiza Gonzalez and Demian Bichir.
