SpaceGodzilla Rumoured to Join Godzilla x Kong: Supernova
A new adversary may be on the horizon for Godzilla and Kong, as the much-anticipated Supernova film hints at the arrival of a legendary foe not seen in cinemas for decades.
Fans of giant monster films may soon witness a rather unexpected addition to the Godzilla x Kong universe. The forthcoming instalment, Supernova, is reportedly set to introduce SpaceGodzilla, a formidable opponent who has not graced the big screen in over thirty years.
SpaceGodzilla’s Cinematic Return
According to a listing in the Writers Guild of America West directory, a project under the working title 'Zeus' is described as
Based on the characters 'Godzilla' and 'Space Godzilla' owned and created by ToHo Co., LTD.
This suggests that the infamous cosmic adversary, first seen in the 1994 film Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla, could be making a dramatic return. Since that appearance, the character has featured in various video games, comics, and television series, but has yet to appear in a Hollywood production until now.
SpaceGodzilla is depicted as a more imposing version of the original, boasting a bulkier frame, an elongated tail, and distinctive facial tusks. The creature’s most notable feature, however, is the array of crystals along its tail, which absorb energy from the environment to fuel its immense power. In the original '90s film, SpaceGodzilla’s origin involved G-cells being launched into space, passing through a black hole, and emerging from a white hole—an explanation that perhaps raises more questions than it answers, but certainly adds to the spectacle.
Cast and Creative Team
Supernova is being directed by Grant Sputore, with Dan Stevens reprising his role as Trapper Beasley. The cast is set to expand with several newcomers to the franchise, including Kaitlyn Dever, Delroy Lindo, Sam Neill, Jack O'Connell, Matthew Modine, and Alycia Debnam-Carey. The screenplay has been crafted by Michael Lloyd Green and David Callaham, both of whom have previously contributed to major blockbusters such as Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.
This new chapter is scheduled to arrive in cinemas on 26 March 2027, promising to deliver fresh excitement for long-time followers and new audiences alike.
