is the fourth installment in Legendary’s MonsterVerse , serving as a direct sequel to both Godzilla: King of the Monsters and Kong: Skull Island . The Setup: Two Kings, One Throne

The power from Hollow Earth causes Ghidorah’s consciousness to take over Mechagodzilla, which kills its creators and begins a rampage. Godzilla tries to fight it but is overwhelmed by the robot's superior speed and weaponry.

Godzilla senses Kong on the water and attacks the fleet. Despite Kong's strength, Godzilla dominates in the water. The humans trick Godzilla into leaving by "playing dead" (shutting off all power).
