Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire will reunite the titular monsters once more &nౠdash; but, this time, they'll look a little different to their last outing. 

Speaking to , which features Godzilla x Kong on the cover and is out this 🌞Thursday, director Adam Wingard teased what we can expect from the two creatures i൩n the new movie. 

"Very specifically in the last film, I wanted Godzilla to have a continuity, to look the way that he had in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:King of the Monsters and the 2014 Godzilla," he explains. "But then I didn’t get a chan𒈔ce at doing my version of Godzilla. So now I wanted to do different things with the spines, and try different coꦿlours. I didn't want it to just be random; it's part of the story."

Godzilla isn't the only one getting a revamp, either, with Wingard adding: "And similarly with Kong, I wanted to give him some sort of new look as🅺 well. We grew his beard out, and gave him a little bit mor🌞e grey hair and stuff."

The film already has one 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:epic, action-packed trailer, which features Godzilla all powered up and glowing pink – looking very cool in the process.
