Godzilla isn’t the only one getting a revamp, either, with Wingard adding: “And similarly with Kong, I wanted to give him some sort of new look as well. We grew his beard out, and gave him a little bit more grey hair and stuff.”
The film already has oneepic, action-packed trailer, which features Godzilla all powered up and glowing pink – lookingverycool in the process.
