One of the standout trailers that was shown over the weekend at San Diego Comic-Con wasGodzilla: King of Monsters. Legendary did an awesome job with their promotional campaign, teasing footage and setting up a Monarch Sciences website as well as social media accounts. While the teasing was fun, it was nothing compared to the epic trailer for the monster movie. Godzilla is shown with Rodan and Mothra, but we only got a brief glimpse of King Ghidorah, and even then, the monster was frozen in ice underneath Antarctica. However, the newComic-Conposter forGodzilla: King of the Monstersputs the King front and center.
Following the awesomeGodzilla 2 Comic-Con trailer, the newGodzilla: King of the MonstersComic-Con poster looks like it should be the cover art for an epic heavy metal album by Dio. Godzilla is here too, but he doesn’t seem to be doing so hot as he’s wrapped up by the three-headed King Ghidorah, who is getting ready to strike. For fans who were disappointed that Ghidorah wasn’t fully represented in the trailer, this poster is for you. “Long Live The King,” is printed on the poster which is a line that was said by Charles Dance’s character at the end of the trailer.
The first trailer forGodzilla: King of the Monstersgave fans far more than they were expecting to see, especially since the movie doesn’t come out until May of next year. While Godzilla, Rodan, and Mothra are given adequate screen time, King Ghidorah is being hidden, which is because Legendary didn’t want to give everything away in the first trailer. The wait for the true unveiling of the monster will surely be a major part of the next wave of the promotional campaign, which was followed up over the weekend with aGodzilla size evolution video, and there’s already anticipation brewing for that next unveiling.
Godzilla: King of the Monstersis the sequel to 2014’sGodzillaand sees a very paranoid human race coming to terms with the fact that they live alongside radioactive monsters that are bigger than most buildings. The destruction caused by these radioactive beasts it apocalyptic and the trailer for the movie makes the death and destruction look epic as well as something to look forward to. We’ve seen the damage that Rodan and Mothra can create, but that might be nothing compared to the powers ofKing Ghidorah.
