Adam Wingard and Rebecca Hall explain.

Godzilla has accumulated his fair share of villains over the years.

Kong, on the other hand, has never really had a nemesis worthy of its own name.

He even made peace with Godzilla by the end of 2021sGodzilla vs. Kong.

Thats what directorAdam Wingardwanted to change with his new movieGodzilla x Kong: The New Empire.

He’s doing it in a very evil, contemplative way.

He’s making decisions, and he’s ego-driven.

In that way, he’s very much a dictator character.

This villain is also physically different enough from Kong to make their match-up interesting.

He commands an army, he commands this even bigger monster, and he’s a jerk.

Hes very much the anti-Kong.

In another interview with EW, Hall explained her secret to making exposition entertaining.

But it helps to have a person who’s deadpanning and also providing all the lines of exposition.

I actually take pleasure in being extremely serious because I know that I myself am not that way.

This is terrible… See?

I can slip right into it.

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empireis in theaters this weekend.
