Well, since that first teaser dropped, every single soul has been going straight to Monarch like it was 1999. The studio went ahead and tweeted a cryptic message: So old-school, “please hold,” with a phone number that actually works- needless to say. Welcome to 2027, where movie promotions involve actual phone calls. Crazy.
And that’s how it goes: “Please stand by. Your call is very important to us. Godzilla x Kong: Supernova is officially in production and stomping into theaters March 26, 2027.” And to seal the deal for the hardcore: “Report a Titan Sighting. Call (240) MON-ARCH.” That number is real. Call it, and you’ll actually receive a recorded message from-that is right-Monarch, the shadowy outfit that has been tracking Titans since the MonsterVerse began.
The message is Dominion style: vaguely threatening, almost chiding, “Oh, we know more than you” vibes. It’s kind of like a fun inside joke for fans with the implication that Supernova is going to explore the Monarch angle a bit more seriously. Or eh, it may just be the other awesome way of advertising this movie. The world is going mad. Social media is being flooded with clips of people calling the number, and honestly, it’s just about the most fun we have had since someone argued that Kong could punch Rock Godzilla in the face (he can’t).
March 2027? Hoo boy, that’s a *long* wait, especially since we just got Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire this year. But hey, good things do take time, and if Supernova is going to give bigger kaiju brawls, then we know our whole heart is with them. But just the title- Supernova- screams something cosmic. Maybe, finally, the couple gets to do that Whisper shared about SpaceGodzilla. Or maybe it’s just that cool of a name. Who knows.
What we do know is that director Adam Wingard is returning-back him up for The New Empire was a riot. Hollow Earth antics meet more team-ups of our favorite radioactive lizard kaiju and giant ape with anger issues. All of me, please. The MonsterVerse has been on a roll lately now, and if Supernova can keep it up, we are going to be cruising in 2027.
Anyway, in case you’ve got some time on your hands, feel free to give that Monarch number a call. Just don’t say we didn’t warn you if you hear some weird roars in the distance afterward. Titans are watching. Or something.
Forthwith: Godzilla x Kong: Supernova is happening, and the hype train has departed. We play the waiting game now-and by waiting, I mean obsessively checking for new trailers while rewatching old movies for the fiftieth time. Priorities.
