The oncoming collision of two of cinema’s most iconic monsters is almost upon us. After three movies doing their own thing, Godzilla and King Kong are soon set to come to blows in the mammoth blockbusterGodzilla Vs Kong. Following a test screening that supposedly went very well, someone who claims to have been at that test screening has revealed the running time of the movie.
According to the anonymous source, the runtime forGodzilla vs. Kongis approximately one hour and 45 minutes. Sounds rather short for amonster movie epic. However, before you start panicking that you aren’t going to get anywhere near enough monster mash action, the source has stated that the run time “does not compromise the film’s plot at all and no crucial developments are left out.”
Assuming that this runtime is accurate,Godzilla vs. Kongwill be the shortest of all of theMonsterVerse movies, with last years’Godzilla: King of the Monstersranking as the longest with a run time of two hours and 12 minutes. BothGodzillaandKong: Skull Islandclock in at around the two hours mark.
While one hour and 45 minutes may sound like quite a short movie, particularly for one that aims to bring Godzilla and King Kong togetherBatman V Supermanstyle, bear in mind that if the movie does not mess around with getting thetwo monsters to start punching each otherthen you don’t really need much time for anything else. It should be plenty of time to put together a compelling enough story to bring the two giants together, and, besides, in a movie like this isn’t the story really playing second-fiddle to the chaotic meeting of the monsters?
The person who allegedly attended theGodzilla vs. Kong test screeningassures that the movie has ample time to tell a gripping story, and packs in enough substance in this seemingly short run time. It is also possible that things will change between the test screening and the movie being officially released, so the run time could change.
Godzilla vs. Kongdrops us in a time when monsters walk the Earth, and humanity’s fight for its future. The movie sets Godzilla and Kong on a collision course that will see the two most powerful forces of nature on the planet collide in a spectacular battle for the ages. As Monarch embarks on a perilous mission into uncharted terrain and unearths clues to the Titans' origins, a human conspiracy threatens to wipe the creatures, both good and bad, from the face of the earth forever. Now, that definitely sounds like something that can be fit into a one hour 45 minute run time.
The movie is being directed by Adam Wingard and is a sequel toGodzilla,Godzilla: King of the MonstersandKong: Skull Island, as well as the fourth film in Legendary’s MonsterVerse.Godzilla vs. Kongstars Alexander Skarsgård, Millie Bobby Brown, Rebecca Hall, Brian Tyree Henry, Shun Oguri, Eiza González, Jessica Henwick, Julian Dennison, Kyle Chandler, Zhang Ziyi, and Demián Bichir.
Godzilla vs. Kongis scheduled to be released on June 18, 2025. This comes to us fromGodzilla-Movies.com.
