Earlier today, the first social media reactions for Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire surfaced. Mostly positive, they promise a wild ride for MonsterVerse fans, and a new Chinese trailer for the movie is bound to further increase excitement.
However, we do need to caution that it contains some major spoilers for the Godzilla vs. Kong sequel.
Still with us? Well, throughout this sneak peek, there's a tonne of never-before-seen shots from the movie, as Godzilla and King Kong find themselves battling it out with the Skar King and the terrifying Shimo.
However, the biggest reveal is saved for last: leaks have previously confirmed this would happen, but we now get our first look at Mothra! We last saw the iconic kaiju in Godzilla: King of the Monsters when she transferred her powers to Godzilla after making a sacrifice play against King Ghidorah.
This Mothra is presumably from the egg mentioned at the end of that movie, meaning it's too early to say who or what she's loyal to. Chances are she'll end up being a key part of at least one epic battle in Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, anyway!
Check out the new trailer and poster (which also highlights Mothra) below.
