GODZILLA x KONG The New Empire STORY RECAP

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (2024) picks up after Godzilla vs. Kong and continues exploring the MonsterVerse as Godzilla and Kong face a new and even deadlier threat, the Skar King. Here's a scene-by-scene breakdown of the key moments:

Introduction and Discovery of Hollow Earth: The movie starts with Kong discovering a sinkhole that leads him to an uncharted part of the Hollow Earth. Here, Kong finds that his species isn’t extinct. He encounters a young ape named Suko, and although their first meeting is hostile, Suko helps Kong understand this new world and its inhabitants.

Unveiling the Skar King: Meanwhile, Dr. Ilene Andrews, Jia, Titan veterinarian Trapper, and conspiracy theorist Bernie Hayes travel to Hollow Earth in response to a distress signal. They discover a hidden Iwi tribe that has been living beneath the surface, who sent the signal to warn of the Skar King, an ancient giant ape with ambitions of conquering both the Hollow Earth and the surface world.

The Skar King’s Rise: Kong eventually confronts the Skar King, learning that this evil ape had once attempted to dominate Godzilla's species, causing an Ice Age. The Skar King controls Shimo, a massive Titan with ice-breathing abilities, who once covered the world in frost during their first war. Despite Kong's best efforts, the Skar King severely injures him using Shimo.

Seeking Godzilla’s Help: Gravely injured, Kong flees and journeys to the surface to seek Godzilla's aid. However, when the two Titans meet in Cairo, Godzilla, not understanding Kong’s intentions, attacks him. The fight between them only ends when Mothra intervenes, awakening Godzilla to the true threat at hand.

Battle in the Hollow Earth: Godzilla and Kong, now united, return to the Hollow Earth to confront the Skar King and his enslaved forces. However, the Skar King and Shimo manage to escape to the surface, forcing Godzilla and Kong to pursue them.

Final Showdown: The climactic battle takes place on the surface, where the Skar King uses Shimo's ice powers to initiate a second Ice Age. Kong, with help from Suko, eventually destroys the blue crystal controlling Shimo. Shimo then switches sides, freezing the Skar King, allowing Kong to shatter him, ending his reign once and for all.

Conclusion: Mothra helps to restore the balance, sealing the Hollow Earth to protect it from future threats. Godzilla returns to rest in the Roman Colosseum, while Kong heads back to the Hollow Earth with Suko and the now-freed Shimo, taking his place as the new leader of the ape tribe.

The movie deepens the lore of both Godzilla and Kong’s species, revealing more about their ancient war and exploring Kong’s emotional journey as he becomes a leader once again in a new realm.
