Godzilla vs Kong TV Spot
Most of the footage in this TV spot hasbeen seen in the full trailerforGodzilla vs Kong, but there are a few interesting shots of King Kong that are not only new, but they may also be paying tribute to the final fight from the originalKing Kong vs Godzilla movie.
One shot features Kong being carried in a massive net by a bunch of helicopters and ospreys, and it appears he’s dropped in the middle of an arctic environment of some kind as we get a close-up of his face. That calls back to this sequence from the aforementionedKing Kong vs Godzilla:
Then again, perhaps there’s a chance he’s being picked up from this snowy environment, maybe after a battle with Godzilla doesn’t go well for him. After all, there’s another shot where Kong appears to be falling from a great height into a more tropical setting. We’re not sure what that’s about, but perhaps it has something to do with theshots in the trailerwhere he appears to be surrounded by futuristic drones of some kind.
