Frequently asked about Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire

Common questions people search for, with answers written by us at MoviesPack.

• Is Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire the last film?▾

  No, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire is not the final entry in the MonsterVerse. Legendary has confirmed a follow-up film is in development, with Grant Sputore set to direct the next installment.

• Why did Millie Bobby Brown leave Godzilla?▾

  Millie Bobby Brown did not appear in The New Empire because her character Madison Russell's storyline from the previous films was not continued, with the sequel shifting focus to Rebecca Hall's Dr. Ilene Andrews and the Iwi tribe of Hollow Earth. The filmmakers chose to pivot the human narrative rather than recast or sideline her arc.

• Did Godzilla lay eggs?▾

  Godzilla does not lay eggs in The New Empire. In the broader Godzilla franchise, some incarnations of the creature have been depicted as laying eggs, but this is not part of the MonsterVerse storyline.

• What are the weaknesses of Kong?▾

  In the MonsterVerse, Kong's main weaknesses are physical injuries and fatigue, particularly to his right arm, which is severely damaged in The New Empire before being fitted with the B.E.A.S.T. Glove. He is also vulnerable to extreme cold and is outmatched in raw power by Godzilla, relying on agility, tools, and allies to compete.

• Who is the Skar King and what does he want?▾

  The Skar King is an ancient, tyrannical Titan who was imprisoned deep within the Hollow Earth after being defeated in a prehistoric war against Kong's ancestors. He rules a slave colony of subjugated Kongs through fear and brutality, using the ice Titan Shimo as a weapon of mass destruction. His ultimate goal is to escape the Hollow Earth, reclaim the surface world, and conquer it with his army — the same ambition that led to his original imprisonment.

• What is Shimo and why does the Skar King control her?▾

  Shimo is an ancient ice-elemental Titan of immense power, capable of generating catastrophic blizzards and flash-freezing anything she touches. The Skar King keeps her enslaved using a crystal shard that causes her intense pain, essentially using it as a shock collar to force her compliance. Once Kong and Godzilla destroy the crystal during the climactic battle, Shimo is freed from the Skar King's control and turns on him, ultimately helping defeat him.

• Why does Godzilla keep attacking cities and power-charging himself before the final battle?▾

  Godzilla senses the growing threat from the Hollow Earth and instinctively prepares for war by absorbing as much radiation as possible to power up. He deliberately provokes and defeats other Titans to establish dominance and consolidate his strength. His rampage through Rome, where he absorbs energy from the Colosseum area and then rests near the Pantheon, is him supercharging his atomic energy reserves — transforming into a pink-glowing powered-up form specifically to match the scale of the coming threat from Shimo and the Skar King.

• What is Jia's psychic connection to the Iwi people and the Hollow Earth?▾

  Jia is a survivor of the Iwi, an ancient human civilization that has lived in harmony with the Titans for generations and developed a deep psychic or spiritual bond with them. Her visions and ability to communicate with Mothra and other Titans stem from this inherited Iwi connection. The film reveals that a surviving Iwi community exists inside the Hollow Earth, and Jia's visions were essentially a call from her people — she is being summoned to fulfill a prophesied role in the battle against the Skar King, acting as a bridge between humanity and the Titans.

• How does the alliance between Godzilla and Kong form, and why do they cooperate given their rivalry?▾

  Godzilla and Kong share a long-standing rivalry rooted in their species being ancient enemies, but both recognize the Skar King as an existential threat that neither can defeat alone. Godzilla's decision to work with Kong is purely pragmatic — the Skar King's control over Shimo poses a danger to the surface world that Godzilla is instinctively compelled to protect. Their cooperation is non-verbal and transactional: Godzilla provides raw atomic power and surface-world dominance while Kong provides knowledge of the Hollow Earth and the tactical ability to confront the Skar King directly.
