Almost afull yearafter it was tease , we recently find out thethirdGodzilla x Kongmovieis subtitledSupernova , and it ’s coming March 2027 . As rooter enquire what ’ll wreak the two Titans together once more , some recollect the title could be entail theMonsterVerseis introducing interstellar threat . After all , bothGodzilla vs. KongandGodzilla x Kong : The New Empiretook the persona underground to the Hollow Earth , so the next position leave to go , in theory , would be up into the star topology .
One of the first nominee that comes to mind isSpaceGodzilla . Like the name imply , it ’s an evil ringer of the King of the Monsters who first appeared in 1994’sGodzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla . Created by Godzilla ’s genetic material merging with a limpid organism in space , then absorbed by a black trap and subsequently patter out by a whitened maw , the cosmic - theme variant snipe Godzilla and small Godzilla using its powerfulness to produce and restraint crystal .
The behemoth was afterwards defeat by Godzilla ’s red heat ray attack , and since then , it ’s mostly appeared in non - movie media more than the film themselves . On screen , it last showed up as a toy in 2004’sGodzilla : Final Wars , but its most late overall appearance was in the 2021 gacha gameGodzilla Battle Lineandanniversary toysfor the franchise ’s fortieth natal day . Suffice to say , it ’s not an A - tier villain , but the potentialGodzilla x Kongconnection comes from the name of its exceptional blast , Corona Beam — or Void Invader , the retitled name bestowed upon it from a 2020Magic : The Gatheringexpansion . The Beam has been compare to the cosmic detonation , and theSupernovalogo seems to support this hypothesis .

Alternatively , there ’s Gigan , first bring out in 1972’sGodzilla vs. Gigan . This monster is an extraterrestrial exchange into a bionic man by the Nebulans , unknown looking to apply it to decimate Earth and prepare the planet for their eventual conquest . Godzilla and Anguirus defeat Gigan , who come in back in 1973’sGodzilla vs. Megalonas a support monster to that film ’s titular scoundrel , then in 2004’sGodzilla : Final Wars , where he was awakened by the alien Xiliens and advance to help demolish the Earth . It lost in both returning appearances , and inFinal Wars’case , it decapitate itself with its own weapon before a flaming Mothra polish off it off for good . Unlike SpaceGodzilla , it ’s had a more logical multimedia visual aspect : along with being playable inGigaBash , it ’s express up in theGodzilla vs. Megalonweb video from 2023 and the short anime seriesChibi Godzilla Raids Again .
IfSupernova’sactually premise another Godzilla - touch foeman , it ’d proceed a trend first found withMechaGodzilla invs . Kong . Despite the King ’s mechanical nemesis being that motion picture ’s final baddie , both it andNew Empirehave largely focused on Kong to flesh out his corner of the domain , and Godzilla ’s been more of a special guest star stomping around during the first and last Acts of the Apostles . Now that Kong has an ape tribe , a surrogate son , and a new weapon to his name , he ’s well established enough to cede ground over to Godzilla , whose last substantial mythology and eccentric maturation was back in 2019’sKing of the Monsters . If these two are a computer software deal now , the MonsterVerse author will have to give them both material to work with , and any fans watch out would tell you it ’s only fair Godzilla get the spotlight now .
Whichever malign monster ends up being the primary villain , we ’ll be there forGodzilla x Kong : Supernovaon March 26 , 2027 , and we ’ll have more news on it as information comes out .
