News has just broke that Godzilla vs. Kong has officially been delayed. The film is now slated to premiere on May 21st, 2021. The date change was a part of a series of major box office moves made by Warner Bros. earlier this evening. The film's director Adam Wingard also shared the following message to his personal Instagram account.
While many fans will be upset that they now have to wait a little longer to see the newest addition to the Monsterverse, the move is likely a smart one by Legendary and Warner Bros. With a possible second wave of COVID-19 looming in the fall, moving the film to later date will help ensure that it's successful. Because of the new delayed release date, there will most likely not be a trailer for the film for awhile either.
