“Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire” is finally here.
And with it the sound and fury of a bunch of giant monsters, led (of course) by Godzilla and Kong, muscling for dominance over the human world. Incredibly, this is the fifth film in Legendary’s MonsterVerse, a series of interconnected movies (and two streaming series) that adapts the classic Toho monsters for an entirely new generation.
But where does “Godzilla x Kong” (the “x” is silent) fit into the chronology of the MonsterVerse movies and shows? That’s a great question, and one that we answer now. Just to remember – Monarch is the secretive government agency tasked with tracking the Titans (referred to as MUTOs in “Godzilla” 2014 – which stood for Massive Unidentified Terrestrial Organism).
