It wouldn’t be much of a MonsterVerse without a few more monsters, and some newGodzilla vs. Kongmerchandise gives us a better look at the various beasts, including Warbat, Hellhawk, and more. While the main attraction toGodzilla Vs Kongis, of course, Godzilla fighting Kong, the movie will clearly be made up of much more monster action than just the titular battle.
The images of the new kaiju come in the form of some Monogram bag clips, which, while heavily stylized and cartoony in appearance, still provide a good idea of what the likes ofWarbatand Hellhawk will look like on screen. Warbats are described as “venom-winged monsters that hunt the hidden depths of the hollow earth,” while Hellhawks appear to be giant birds with bat-like wings and the kind of dead-eyed stare that would frighten even a giant gorilla. Interestingly, two of the images are silhouetted exclusives and it remains a mystery which monsters they could be. One of them certainly looks like it could be a certain mechanical lizard…
It’s unknown how these otherkaijuwill factor intoGodzilla vs. Kong, but withGodzilla: King of the Monstersopening the flood gates on kaiju destruction, the upcoming sequel is going to have a hard time going even bigger and will certainly need a lot of monsters to do it. Cue the Warbats.
Theofficial synopsis for Godzilla vs. Kongreads; “Legends collide in Godzilla Vs Kong as these mythic adversaries meet in a spectacular battle for the ages, with the fate of the world hanging in the balance,” the official Godzilla vs. Kong synopsis states. “Kong and his protectors undertake a perilous journey to find his true home, and with them is Jia, a young orphaned girl with whom he has formed a unique and powerful bond. But they unexpectedly find themselves in the path of an enraged Godzilla, cutting a swath of destruction across the globe. The epic clash between the two titans–instigated by unseen forces–is only the beginning of the mystery that lies deep within the core of the Earth.”
