But they’re not the only ones caught up in the blockbuster battle. Behind Godzilla and King Kong are teams of human characters, each invested in one of the colossal creatures for different reasons. A newGodzilla vs. Kongfeaturette introduces the humans behind each of the monsters, and there’s some new footage from the movie too.
Godzilla vs. Kong Featurette
Warner Bros. Pictures certainly hopes you’ll care about the human characters in this movie too, which is why they’re singled out in this featurette that teases the collision of two stories coming together for this epic battle. On Team Kong, we’ve gotAlexander Skarsgård,Rebecca Hall, andKaylee Hottleas the young girl who shares a bond with the giant ape. Over on Team Godzilla, we haveMillie Bobby Brown,Brian Tyree Henry, andJulian Dennison, who believe Godzilla is being manipulated somehow.
The human element of the recentGodzillamovies has been one of the more disappointing aspects of the franchise. Despite solid performances, they just didn’t bring much to the table. It wasn’t quite as big of an issue inKong: Skull Island, but there were still human characters who felt a little flimsy amidst all the spectacle. Of course, most people aren’t all that interested in anything except the titular titans trading blows anyway, but the human characters help give the movie stakes and make the movie more than just a blockbuster boxing match. So hopefully the story gives them a good role to play.
