I’m going to be very funny and very blunt and very serious about this movie review I am a huge fan of Godzilla and King Kong and I really enjoyed the movie itself the movie itself offers a much very in-depth detail about Godzilla and King Kong
But it also reveals a very much insight to King Kong’s true origin of who he really supposed to become
The ruler over hollowed Earth.

Cast
Alexander Skarsgård as Dr. Nathan Lind:
A Monarch geologist and chief cartographer who works closely with Kong and charts the mission into the Hollow Earth. Skarsgård described his character as a reluctant hero who is “not an alpha, bad-ass” and “thrown into this very dangerous situation and is definitely not equipped for it.” Skarsgård called Nathan a homage to 1980s films like Indiana Jones, Romancing the Stone, Lethal Weapon, and Die Hard.[9][10][11][12]
Millie Bobby Brown as Madison Russell:
The daughter of Monarch scientists Mark and the late Emma Russell. Madison believes there is a reason for Godzilla’s erratic behavior, suspecting a conspiracy formulated by the Apex Cybernetics. She proceeds to investigate with Josh Valentine and Bernie Hayes. Brown described the film as a coming of age story for Madison, noting that the character has “grown-up” and become more “independent” since the events of the previous film, stating, “Her storyline has definitely evolved greatly in the way she deals with things, her attitude towards life, how much more stronger of a person.” Producer Alex Garcia described Madison as the “advocate for Godzilla in this film” who tries to “vindicate” Godzilla and his reasons.[6][13]
Rebecca Hall as Dr. Ilene Andrews:
A Monarch anthropological linguist, and Jia’s adoptive mother. Hall described her participation as “overwhelming” due to the film being her first project after her pregnancy, but found the experience “thrilling.” Hall described Ilene as “the Jane Goodall of Kong.”[14][15][12]
Brian Tyree Henry as Bernie Hayes:
A former Apex Cybernetics technician turned conspiracy theorist aiding Madison and Josh to expose Apex. Henry described Bernie as a “crackpot” with a level of “heart” and “loyalty.” Henry noted that the tragic death of Bernie’s wife shaped him to become a conspiracy theorist with a podcast and further elaborated, “his goal is to use the tools at his disposal to bring the truth to the people. I always refer to Bernie as Anonymous. He can see the injustices, but no one really listens to him.” Due to Bernie’s protective nature of Madison and Josh, Henry jokingly likened Bernie to Brienne of Tarth.[6][13]
Shun Oguri as Ren Serizawa:
The son of the late Monarch scientist Ishirō Serizawa, and an Apex Cybernetics scientist and tech engineer,[16] who is the telepathic pilot for Mechagodzilla. Oguri described Ren’s goal as trying to “protect the Earth,” however, the means to his goal differ from “everyone else, and his father.” Oguri noted that Ren “sort of” followed in his father’s footsteps but stated, “he doesn’t believe he was heard by his father.”[6]
Eiza González as Maya Simmons:
A top-tier Apex Cybernetics executive, and Walter Simmons’ daughter. González described her role as a “very smart woman behind a company.” She also described the film as “slightly comedic.” González noted having enjoyed the fact that her character was a Latina woman with a high position within a company and wasn’t forced into a stereotype.[17][12]
Julian Dennison as Josh Valentine:
A friend of Madison aiding her and Bernie to investigate the source of Godzilla’s erratic behavior. Dennison described his character as a “nerd” and Madison as his “only friend.” Dennison called Josh Madison’s “tech wingman,” and the “realist in the duo,” stating, “he kind of brings it, ‘Oh, we shouldn’t do that because we’ll die.’ And she’s, ‘No, it will be fine.’ So, I think they play very well. And they’re a very good mix of just craziness.” Dennison screen-tested with Brown using scenes from Romeo and Juliet.[13][6][12]
Kyle Chandler as Dr. Mark Russell:
Madison’s father, Monarch’s deputy director of special projects, and an animal behavior and communication specialist.[6][12]
Demián Bichir as Walter Simmons:
Maya’s father, CEO, and founder of Apex Cybernetics, a tech organization invested in trying to solve the Earth’s “Titan problem,” secretly creating Mechagodzilla to exterminate them. Walter is a visionary entrepreneur and billionaire who wants to help humanity and make the world a safer place, but clashes with Monarch over their differing ideals on what’s best for humanity. Producer Alex Garcia said Walter “has risen to a place… in the seats of power, and is wanting to help to stem and stop the madness and the destruction. Garcia stated that Walter isn’t necessarily a villain or a Machiavellian character but is “a very complex character who believes he’s doing the right thing. And he may be, but that’s where the mystery at the core of the film comes into play.”[16]
Kaylee Hottle as Jia:
A young orphan deaf Iwi native who forms a special bond with Kong, and is Ilene’s adopted daughter.[18][15]
Additionally, Hakeem Kae-Kazim portrays Admiral Wilcox; Lance Reddick portrays the Monarch director; Ronny Chieng portrays Jay Wayne; John Pirruccello portrays Horace; and Chris Chalk portrays Ben.[19] Zhang Ziyi and Jessica Henwick were cast but did not appear in the final cut of the film, with Ziyi intended to be reprising her role since Godzilla: King
Five years after Godzilla killed his extraterrestrial nemesis, Ghidorah, he and Kong are currently the last known active Titans on the Earth’s surface. On Skull Island, the climate has been destabilized. Monarch now watches over Kong, who resides within a giant dome. Kong is visited by Jia, the last Iwi native and Ilene Andrews’ adopted daughter, who is deaf and can communicate with Kong via sign language.
Bernie Hayes, a former employee of the Apex Cybernetics corporation and host of a Titan conspiracy theory podcast, exfiltrates information suggesting sinister activities at a Pensacola Apex facility. However, Godzilla suddenly attacks the facility; during the rampage, Bernie discovers a device that resembles the ORCA, previously used to communicate with or control Titans. Madison Russell, a fan of Bernie’s podcast, enlists her friend Josh to investigate the cause of Godzilla’s attack. Together they find Bernie and sneak into the wrecked Apex base, discovering a secret facility deep underground. They are inadvertently locked and transported in a container carrying Skullcrawler eggs (two-legged reptilian megafauna that was previously discovered by Monarch) through an underground tunnel to Hong Kong. There, they unwittingly intrude on a test of Mechagodzilla, a mechanical version of Godzilla, telepathically controlled by Ren Serizawa, the son of the late Ishirō Serizawa, through the neural networks of Ghidorah derived from a severed head that Apex had managed to retrieve. The test is cut short due to limitations of the power supply. It is then revealed that Apex executive Walter Simmons intends to harness the power of an energy source in the Hollow Earth, an underground world that is below the Earth and a secret home to the Titans, to overcome the limitations of Mechagodzilla.
Walter recruits Nathan Lind, a former Monarch scientist turned theorist on the Hollow Earth, as a guide in search of a new power source within the Hollow Earth. Although Nathan is initially hesitant because his brother tried to explore Hollow Earth but a strong anti-gravity field inside the tunnel killed him, he agrees after Walter reveals that Apex has developed HEAVs, specialized crafts to withstand the pressure exerted by the gravity field which killed Nathan’s brother. To help guide them to the Hollow Earth in search of the energy source, Nathan goes to Skull Island and meets with Ilene, convincing her to let Kong guide them through the Hollow Earth. Nathan, Ilene, and an Apex team led by Walter’s daughter Maya board a modified barge with Kong chained and lightly sedated. However, Godzilla attacks the convoy midway through the voyage and defeats Kong, but only retreats after the ships disable their power and trick him into thinking they are destroyed. Realizing that Godzilla will continue to come for Kong if he is deemed a threat, they change plans and airlift Kong to a Hollow Earth entry point in Antarctica. Jia convinces Kong to enter the tunnel and the team follows him in the HEAV’s.
Inside Hollow Earth, they find an ecosystem similar to Skull Island. While traversing through the landscape, Kong and the team discover his species’ ancestral throne room that depicts an ancient war with Godzilla’s kind; they also find a glowing axe made from the dorsal spines of another creature of Godzilla’s species. As they find the power source, Kong discovers that it can also recharge the axe. The Apex team sends the power source’s signature back to their base in Hong Kong, but Godzilla, sensing the energy, makes landfall in Hong Kong and directly attacks the throne room via the Hollow Earth. Kong fends off the atomic breath and the subsequent invasion of Hollow Earth creatures, but Maya and the rest of the Apex team are killed. Kong and the survivors (Ilene, Jia, and Nathan) escape through the hole to Hong Kong, where Godzilla and Kong fight again. Due to the fact that Kong’s new axe is immune to Godzilla’s atomic breath, the second fight is won by Kong as he knocks down Godzilla, injuring him. But Kong doesn’t finish him off, which results in Godzilla getting back up for a third round and the fight continues one last time before Godzilla claims his victory over Kong.
In the Apex base, a concerned Ren warns Walter that they have not tested the new Hollow Earth energy source, fearing the consequences. However, Walter ignores his pleas and orders him to activate Mechagodzilla. Bernie, Madison, and Josh are caught by security and brought to Walter. Suddenly, Mechagodzilla goes haywire under the influence of the energy source and Ghidorah’s neural networks, and Ren is electrocuted to death. Mechagodzilla, now possessed by Ghidorah’s consciousness, awakens and kills Walter, then emerges from the base of Victoria Peak and attacks the city, drawing Godzilla’s attention. As Josh unsuccessfully tries to remotely shut down the rampaging robot, Godzilla and Mechagodzilla battle; however, Godzilla, weary from his battle with Kong, is overwhelmed. Nathan’s team is able to revive Kong, and Jia convinces him to help Godzilla. Kong saves Godzilla from being killed, but Mechagodzilla overpowers both of the Titans. Josh short-circuits Mechagodzilla’s controls with Bernie’s flask of liquor, stalling the robot and giving Godzilla and Kong time to recover. Godzilla blasts the axe with his atomic breath, supercharging it and allowing Kong to decapitate and destroy Mechagodzilla. Madison, Bernie, and Josh reunite with Mark Russell, while Godzilla and Kong acknowledge each other before going their separate ways. Sometime later, Ilene and Jia watch Kong, now ruling over the Hollow Earth, from an observation post.
