A production detail for the upcoming entry in the Legendary Monsterverse тιтled Godzilla X Kong: Supernova strengthens the case for one of the movie’s most popular villain theories. Set to release in 2027 with an all-star cast already lined up, Godzilla X Kong: Supernova will be the sixth movie in the monster-filled cinematic universe.

Godzilla X Kong: Supernova will mark the third instance in which Godzilla and Kong will need to (begrudgingly) work together, and with the subтιтle “Supernova” they may be in for their biggest threat yet: a cosmic villain even more powerful than Ghidorah. While there are plenty of theories involving SpaceGodzillla, Gigan, or Hedorah, it remains to be seen who the two Alpha тιтans will face off with.

Likewise, very few plot or character details have been revealed this far in advance of the movie’s release, production on Godzilla X Kong: Supernova is already well underway. Small teases like set pH๏τos have yielded theories about where the narrative might go and who the villains might be, but the latest detail from the movie’s production could be a major clue.

Godzilla X Kong: Supernova Has A Strong Monarch: Legacy of Monsters Connection Now

The Builds A Stronger Case For A Space Villain’s Origin

The latest filming location for Godzilla X Kong: Supernova is Moab, Utah. There are other key locations around the globe that the movie has or will film in, including Mexico City, Mumbai, and London among others. Utah is one of the only U.S. locations the movie is supposed to film in, and it has a deep-cut connection to the Monsterverse that could be extremely relevant for Supernova.

In the Apple TV+ show Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, during the present-day (in the show) narrative, the Utah outpost is where the first readings of the Vile Vortices, the portals between the Hollow Earth and the surface world, are logged and identified by Monarch’s Dr. Barnes. She is picking up a portal opening from Alaska, but her analysis is what matters.

Dr. Barnes notes that the portals contain radiation that is only supposed to exist in pulsars, which she quickly defines as “supermᴀssive black holes in outer space.” The implication is that the portals could operate the same way as black holes do, which could explain how a cosmic villain arrives on Earth.

Whether it’s SpaceGodzilla or an original Legendary тιтan, the groundwork has been laid for a cosmic villain in Godzilla X Kong: Supernova. The movie shooting in the location where black hole energy was first identified in the Monsterverse feels like it isn’t a coincidence, and strengthens the case for disruption at the claws of a fierce villain not of the Earth.
