Godzilla vs. Kong
There ’s no question about the significant height departure between Godzilla and King Kong , but the col between them may be pin down by the fourth dimension the two Titans clash inGodzilla vs. Kong . steer by Adam Wingard , the quaternary instalment in the MonsterVerse will have an heroic showdown between the King of the Monsters and the King of Skull Island asMonarch investigates the origin of the Titans .
Though this is their first MonsterVerse meeting , this is n’t the first time Godzilla and Kong have fought . The 1962 Toho movieKing Kong vs. Godzillamarked their first and only battle . Even then , Kong was traditionally small than the Nipponese pa culture icon . Toho had to make some strong changesso that Kong could fight on Godzilla ’s level . Kong was also given a new ability , and his sizing see a monolithic increase , allowing the two to go toe - to - toe . Otherwise , Godzilla would have easily dwarfed King Kong .

A similar size change is anticipate forGodzilla vs. Kong , and has already been foreshadowed byGodzilla : King of the Monstersdirector Michael Dougherty , who has pointed out thatKong was just an adolescentin 2017’sKong : Skull Island , meaning that he still has some growing to do . A poster forGodzilla vs. Kong(viaGormaru ) picture Kong with a whiskers , which is indicative of how much he ’s aged ( and grown in size ) since his last MonsterVerse appearing .
So why is Kong so much small-scale than Godzilla ? Part of the reason has to do with the human element of the case . Kong ’s sizing allow him to tie with humansin a way that Godzilla never could . Kong is subject of obligate a woman in the palm of his hand . Also , Kong was n’t originally project for a dramatic confrontation with a monster as Brobdingnagian as Godzilla . If Kong was much bigger , there never would have been that iconic scene where he scale the Empire State Building . Regardless , Kong ’s traditionally small height will have to shift for him to brook a chance against Godzilla .
InKong : Skull Island , the Titan stood at 104 foot marvellous , which is a little more than a fourth of his opponent ’s size . InKing of the Monsters , Godzilla is 393 foot marvellous , so if the two were to fight in the seventies , Godzilla would have loom over Kong like an grownup to a small baby . It remains to be take in how much bigger Kong will be when he returns , and if it ’ll be enough . It seems unlikely that Kong will be able to grow another 300 invertebrate foot between 1973 and 2020 , so a size gap of some kind may still be present .
