Vorlage:Infobox film

The Godzilla-Kong Cinematic Universe is an American media franchise and shared fictional universe that is centered on a series of monster films, produced by Legendary Pictures with Warner Bros. Pictures.

The first film in the shared universe was Godzilla (2014), a reboot of the Godzilla film series. The next film to be released will be Kong: Skull Island (2017), which is currently filming. It will be followed by an untitled Godzilla sequel in 2018 and a crossover film Godzilla vs. Kong targeted for 2020, with both films currently in development. All films are being distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures.

Development

At the July 2014 San Diego Comic-Con International, Legendary Pictures and director Gareth Edwards confirmed that they have acquired other Toho properties including Mothra, Rodan, and King Ghidorah. A short teaser film clip showing concept art of all three with the ending tagline "Let them fight" was shown. Other details of their appearances in either of the two sequels were not announced.[1] In September 2015, Legendary announced that the film Kong: Skull Island would not be developed with Universal Studios. Instead, it would be developed with Warner Bros., which sparked media speculation that Godzilla and King Kong would appear in a film together.[2][3]

In October 2015, Legendary announced plans to unite Godzilla and King Kong in a film titled Godzilla vs. Kong, set for a 2020 release date. Legendary plans to create a shared cinematic franchise "centered around Monarch" and that "brings together Godzilla and Legendary’s King Kong in an ecosystem of other giant super-species, both classic and new". While Legendary will maintain its home at Universal Pictures, it will continue to collaborate with Warner Bros. for the franchise.[4] Later in October, it was announced that the Kong: Skull Island script will have references to the secret government known as Monarch which appeared in 2014's film Godzilla.[5] There had been previous references to King Kong in the Godzilla prequel comic Godzilla: Awakening.
