Fans will need to wait a little longer to watch Warner Brothers' and Legendary Pictures' trailer for Godzilla vs. Kong (2020).
As expected, this year's CinemaCon has been cancelled due to the impending fear surrounding the Covid-19 Coronavirus which was just recently declared a global pandemic. Many social gatherings, conventions and sporting events have been postponed or outright cancelled to prevent the spread of the novel virus.
Previously, it was declared that Warner Brothers would have a prominent presence at CinemaCon 2020 and would be promoting their 2020 film slate - of which Godzilla vs. Kong was a major part of. A trailer preview was planned to be screened at the event to attendees, with no word regarding a public version being released online.
Godzilla vs. Kong keeps taking hits, with a delayed release date initially by nearly a year and more recently now sharing their debut week with the next James Bond installment (also delayed by the Coronavirus). The cancellation of CinemaCon only adds to the film's inability to generate adequate hype before its release this Fall.
Warner Brothers may choose to release the trailer online after all regardless of a convention exclusive but no word so far suggests that is in fact their plan. We can only hope for the time being.
At this rate it's also very possible that San Diego Comic Con (SDCC) 2020 may very well also be delayed or cancelled which would also greatly hinder Godzilla vs. Kong's marketing potential.
