The cast includes Rebecca Hall, Brian Tyree Henry, Dan Stevens, and more. While speaking with IGN, Wingard described the antagonist as a devilish, Kong-type character that the Titans must defeat.

Currently, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire is only available in theaters, with no streaming release date announced yet. Warner Bros. typically waits 60 to 90 days after the theatrical premiere to release films on Max, so viewers can expect Godzilla x Kong to arrive on streaming platforms in May or June.

However, viewers can anticipate purchasing or renting the film on digital VOD sites like Amazon Prime Video and YouTube TV around 45 days after its theatrical release, potentially in mid-May 2024.
