The film Godzilla vs Kong will culminate the most epic monster verse that exists, but it may not reach theaters and it will make it to Netflix or HBO Max.
In 2014 this saga of giant monsters began with the Godzilla movie, then Kong: Skull Island (2017) followed, later Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019), and Godzilla vs Kong should reach cinemas all over the place. the world in 2021. But plans may change and I will go straight to streaming.
The movie is causing a war between the most powerful platforms. Netflix reportedly submitted an offer of more than $ 200 million for Godzilla vs Kong, which WarnerMedia blocked while they prepared a counteroffer for the rights to send it to HBO Max. Legendary declined to comment, but a Warner Bros. spokesperson said: “We plan to release Godzilla vs. Kong in theaters next year as scheduled.” This could cause a third situation and that it would be released at the same time in cinemas and in streaming.
Wonder Woman 1984 will lead the way.
Warner Bros will release Wonder Woman 1984 in theaters and on HBO Max for free. Something that has never happened before and you don’t really know what the result will be. Therefore, the big movie studios will be on the lookout for what to do with their movies. Godzilla vs Kong if it finally reaches streaming could follow the same path. But it will probably premiere on HBO Max since Netflix’s offer of 200 million is somewhat scarce, since the films of this saga have raised much more at the box office.
Godzilla vs Kong is directed by Adam Wingard (Death Note, The Guest) and has a cast headed by Kyle Chandler, Julian Dennison, Millie Bobby Brown, Zhang Ziyi, Van Marten, Jessica Henwick, and Lance Reddick.
For now, Godzilla vs Kong is scheduled to premiere on May 21, 2021, but it should not be ruled out that it goes directly to streaming or makes a mix between both formats.
