How COVID Saved Godzilla vs. Kong and the MonsterVerse
The MonsterVerse seemed finished in 2019, but the COVID-19 delay of Godzilla vs. Kong made it the film to bring audiences back to theaters.
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire has roared into theaters, and while critical reaction has been mixed, audience reaction seems to be extremely positive. The movie is the fifth film in the MonsterVerse and the seventh entry following two television series, Skull Island and Monarch: Legacy of Monsters. Following Marvel Studios breaking records with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, every studio tried their hand at a shared universe. While others like the DCEU and Sony's plans for a Spider-Man interconnected franchise spinning out from The Amazing Spider-Man and the Dark Universe all failed, surprisingly, one of the few to actually succeed was Legendary Pictures MonsterVerse.
