Eiza Gonzalez is revealing that Godzilla vs. Kong was completely changed before its release. The fourth installment in Legendary's MonsterVerse, the film was directed by Adam Wingard and premiered back in March 2021, serving as a sequel to Kong: Skull Island and Godzilla: King of the Monsters. It follows the epic battle between the two creatures, as humans attempt to lure Kong into the Hollow Earth to recover a power source capable of stopping Godzilla's mysterious attacks. First announced in 2015, the film was part of Legendary's plan to establish a shared cinematic universe, and following its successful release during a time when the COVID-19 pandemic affected the box office, a Godzilla vs Kong sequel will start filming later this year.

In addition to Gonzalez, the film featured a large cast, including Alexander Skarsgård, Millie Bobby Brown, Rebecca Hall, Brian Tyree Henry, Shun Oguri, Julian Dennison, Lance Reddick, Kyle Chandler, and Demián Bichir. Zhang Ziyi, who appeared in Godzilla: King of the Monsters, and Jessica Henwick were also set to star, though they were eventually left out of the final cut. While Godzilla vs Kong received a largely positive reactions from fans and critics alike, many felt it lacked essential character development and drama aside from the large-scale battle taking place. This became more apparent after Wingard explained how many of the movie's characters were meant to have conflicting allegiances, affecting some audiences' expectations. Prior to its release, the director noted that the project could be viewed as two separate stories, and that each human story in Godzilla vs Kong was following the monsters'.
