It all started with 2014's Godzilla, which was followed by 2017's Kong: Skull Island, and then 2019's Godzilla: King of the Monsters. Kong is the fourth film in what's called the "MonsterVerse," a series of films about the two giant monsters from Legendary Entertainment and Warner Bros. Godzilla is such a pop-culture icon that it even starred in a 1978 American cartoon, Godzilla, where it had a comedic sidekick nephew, little Godzooky. Kong aside, its usual opponents are fellow kaiju - a Japanese word for giant monsters - such as Rodan, Mothra and others. It often tramples Tokyo and kills people, but it's been known to fight alongside humanity. The dinosaur-like monster has radiation-given powers, including atomic breath, and retreats back into the ocean after its battles. Godzilla first appeared in the 1954 Japanese movie Godzilla, as an enormous sea monster powered by radiation - thought of as a metaphor for nuclear weapons after the 1945 bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. But you can't keep a great ape down - Kong returned in numerous sequels and remakes over the years, first taking on Godzilla in 1962. Kong falls in love with a human woman, Ann, played by Fay Wray, and inevitably breaks loose and grabs her, climbing to the top of the Empire State Building before being shot down by airplanes.
In that film, the giant gorilla-like creature is found on Skull Island, its home, by an American filmmaker, and dragged back to the US to be exhibited. King Kong burst on the scene in the 1933 movie King Kong. Kong basicsĪs you probably know, Godzilla and King Kong both have long movie and pop-culture histories.
