The film's sequel is already in the works.
Meanwhile, Bernie Hayes, an Apex Cybernetics employee and presenter of the Titan Truth Podcast, exfiltrates material indicating dark operations at a Pensacola Apex facility, but Godzilla suddenly strikes as he finishes downloading the data. Bernie finds a curious piece of technology among the wreckage of the facility that looks like a big robotic eye during Godzilla's attack.
Immediately after the assault, popular opinion began to change against Godzilla, and the monster was no longer seen as humanity's redeemed hero. After hearing the news of Godzilla's latest assault on her school, Madison Russell, now an adult and a listener of Bernie's podcast, is alarmed and calls Bernie to express her concern. After school, she attempts unsuccessfully to reason with her widowed father Mark (who is serving as Monarch's director) about a potential lead on the cause of Godzilla's rampage, but he ignores everything she says, stating merely that beasts, like humans, may evolve, which she finds absurd. Later, Madison enlists the assistance of her closest friend Josh Valentine in order to track down the person responsible for Godzilla's rampage and uncover the mysteries of Apex.
Meanwhile, Apex's founder and CEO, Walter Simmons, recruits Nathan Lind, a former Monarch scientist who has become a Hollow Earth theorist, to assist them in their search for a powerful energy source in the Hollow Earth, an underground world beneath the Earth and the hidden home of the Titans, which is located beneath the surface of the Earth. The fact that Nathan's brother attempted to explore the Hollow Earth and was killed by a powerful anti-gravity field within the tunnel initially makes him wary of going into the Hollow Earth. Apex has invented and built Hollow Earth Aerial Vehicles, specialized vehicles that are capable of withstanding the gravity field's pressure, and Walter explains this to him, and he finally accepts.
Nathan travels to Skull Island to meet his colleague, Monarch anthropological linguist and Jia's adoptive mother Ilene Andrews, with the idea of using Kong as their navigator to lead them to the energy source because Skull Island can no longer contain him and allow him to survive (because Kong has grown too large). Though Ilene first rejects, explaining that Godzilla would come for Kong as soon as he was relocated off of Skull Island, she eventually agrees when Nathan persuades her that they must undertake this mission in order to end Godzilla's rampage and to find Kong a new home.
Nathan, Ilene, Jia, and an Apex team led by Walter's daughter Maia board a specially designed boat with a moderately drugged Kong tied up. That night, Kong becomes restless and nervous, but Jia calms him down by having her and Kong clasp their fingers together and sign the word "home" for Ilene. The next day, Ilene tells Nathan how she raised Jia as her own when fierce and unpredictable storms killed most of the Iwi and her parents, but Jia was the only survivor since Kong protected her, which led to their connection.
En there, they encounter Apex's ultimate weapon "Mechagodzilla" - a mechanical Godzilla commanded by the late Dr. Ishiro Serizawa's son, Ren Serizawa. Once the mecha is powered up, Walter unleashes a gigantic adult Skullcrawler nicknamed "Number 10" into the room to test Mechagodzilla's Titan-fighting abilities. As the Skullcrawler nears Madison, Josh, and Bernie, Mechagodzilla grabs it and restrains it, before cleaving it in two with a tremendous red energy beam. As a result of the power supply's restrictions, the mecha promptly shuts down.
There, Godzilla makes his way into the heart of the city and sensing Kong's presence in the Hollow Earth, drills a shaft to the ecosystem with his atomic breath, causing the temple to collapse. Kong and Nathan's team fight off a flock of Hellhawks while Maia and her team try to flee in their HEAV, only for Kong to grab it on their way out and, despite Maia attempting to shoot him in order to escape, he instantly crushes the aircraft in his hand after peeking inside to make sure that Jia, Ilene and Nathan aren't in there, killing Maia and her personnel inside.
It seems that Godzilla is inspired with Kong's strength, and so spares his rival's life before walking away, leaving Kong wounded but still alive, and ultimately losing consciousness.
The two Titans join forces to turn the tide, but the robot outperforms them. Kong takes aim at Mechagodzilla with his axe, but his weapon has lost its charge, and the robot attempts to impale Kong with its tail drill, but Kong survives. Recognizing that he and the others can do nothing to help Kong and Godzilla, Bernie pulls out a flask of liquor and proposes they all drink. But, having had an epiphany, Josh snatches Bernie's flask and spills the contents all over Mechagodzilla's control panel, prompting Mechagodzilla to halt and Godzilla and Kong to reclaim the upper hand.
Kong is about to pull off the head of Mechagodzilla when Godzilla appears and blasts his atomic breath into it, enabling Kong to dismember the mechanical monster piece by piece and take off its head before sitting down and celebrating his victory with a triumphant yell.
Josh and Bernie are overjoyed to meet Mark and ask him on his show to speak about the Monarch facility in Roswell, which Madison reunites with and introduces him to Josh and Ilene. After a brief pause, Godzilla appears, causing Kong to take his axe and ready to begin the battle once again. Godzilla, on the other hand, remains still while he observes Kong. Kong lowers his axe in defeat, putting a stop to the animosity between his race and Godzilla's. After a protracted battle, Godzilla and Kong are no longer adversaries, and they treat each other as equals before Godzilla returns to the sea quietly.
Monarch built an observation station in the Hollow Earth later on. Ilene, Nathan, and Jia see Kong on his morning stroll one day. In his roaring declaration of himself as King of the Hollow Earth, Kong leaps atop a cliff, pounding his chest and welcoming Jia as his new home and domain
Godzilla vs. Kong has received mostly good reviews. As of April 16, 2021, the film has 341 reviews on the review aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes, 254 of which were fresh, with a "Tomatometer" rating of 74 percent certified Fresh. According to the site's reviewers' consensus feature, "Delivering squarely on its title, Godzilla vs. Kong swats away character development and human drama to deliver all the spectacle you'd expect from giant monsters slugging it out."
With Chandler's presence in King Kong, Godzilla: King of the Monsters, and Godzilla vs. Kong, this resulted in the actor's unique distinction of being the only individual to be present in the cast of a King Kong picture, a Godzilla film, and a crossover feature between the two.
Godzilla vs. Kong is the shortest film in the MonsterVerse, clocking in at 113 minutes.
A reference to the famous ability of Martin Riggs in the Lethal Weapon series might be made if Kong bangs his dislocated right shoulder against the side of a building in order to reposition it.
The film has several references to Neon Genesis Evangelion:
