The next chapter of the Monsterverse saga gets a 2027 release date. After kicking off with Gareth Edward’s 2014 reimagining of Godzilla, the Monsterverse has expanded to a titan-sized franchise composed of five feature-length movies, a live-action television show, and an animated series. With Godzilla and Kong being brought to screen successfully, 2024 saw the franchise’s first two monsters join forces against a rising subterranean foe in Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire.

Fresh off the impressive box-office impact of Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire, Warner Bros. and Legendary have locked in a release date for the Monsterverse’s next movie. The studio has announced that the untitled sequel to The New Empire will hit theaters on March 26, 2027. The news comes on the heels of I Am Mother‘s Grant Sputore being hired to direct the movie following Adam Wingard’s departure due to scheduling conflicts.
