Godzilla x Kong: Supernova May Unleash SpaceGodzilla in Hollywood Debut
Rumors swirl that Godzilla x Kong: Supernova could introduce SpaceGodzilla as a new adversary, marking the mutated kaiju’s first appearance in a Hollywood blockbuster in over three decades.
Fans of giant monster movies might be in for a surprise when Godzilla x Kong: Supernova hits theaters. The next chapter in the legendary franchise is rumored to introduce a formidable new opponent: SpaceGodzilla. If true, this would mark the first time in more than thirty years that the mutated kaiju has appeared on the big screen—and its first-ever appearance in a Hollywood production.
SpaceGodzilla’s Return to the Spotlight
According to a listing in the Writers Guild of America West directory, a project with the working title 'Zeus' is described as
Based on the characters 'Godzilla' and 'Space Godzilla' owned and created by ToHo Co., LTD.
This points to the possibility that SpaceGodzilla, a monstrous clone of Godzilla, will finally make its way into the MonsterVerse. The character first appeared in the 1994 film Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla and has since shown up in video games, comics, and animated series. However, it ’s been over three decades since SpaceGodzilla has been seen in a feature film.
SpaceGodzilla stands out with its massive, muscular build, elongated tail, and distinctive facial tusks. The creature’s most unique feature is the set of crystals on its tail, which absorb energy from the environment to fuel its powers. In its original movie, SpaceGodzilla was created when Godzilla’s cells were launched into space, passed through a black hole, and emerged from a white hole—an origin story that’s as wild as it sounds.
New Faces Join the MonsterVerse
Godzilla x Kong: Supernova is directed by Grant Sputore and will see Dan Stevens reprise his role as Trapper Beasley. He’ll be joined by a fresh lineup of actors, including Kaitlyn Dever, Delroy Lindo, Sam Neill, Jack O’Connell, Matthew Modine, and Alycia Debnam-Carey. The screenplay comes from Michael Lloyd Green and David Callaham, whose previous credits include Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.
The addition of SpaceGodzilla could shake up the dynamic between the franchise’s two titans, offering fans a new kind of showdown. With a cast that blends returning favorites and new talent, the film is shaping up to be a major event for kaiju enthusiasts.
Anticipation Builds for the 2027 Release
Godzilla x Kong: Supernova is set to premiere in theaters on March 26, 2027. As anticipation grows, moviegoers are already speculating about how SpaceGodzilla’s arrival might change the course of the MonsterVerse. While details remain under wraps, the prospect of seeing this iconic villain on the big screen for the first time in a Hollywood film is sure to excite longtime fans and newcomers alike.
While you wait for the film’s release, there’s plenty to look forward to with other upcoming blockbusters and a packed slate of movies in 2025. Keep an eye out for more updates as the MonsterVerse continues to expand.
