Update: We mistakenly identified this as an entirely new trailer when it was just the first trailer with some added footage. We’ve updated accordingly and will post when the real second trailer is released.
The latest footage from Godzilla: King of the Monsters continues to be lyrical and weirdly affecting, establishing that humans are the real monsters and the mythological titans must save us from ourselves. Including Godzilla, of course, but also King Ghidorah, who gets the big (albeit grainy, so not the top image) reveal in this trailer.
The video opens with a compilation of the viral marketing clips that have been tweeted from the @MonarchSciences Twitter account over the last few days. The movie stars Millie Bobby Brown, Vera Farmiga, Sally Hawkins, Kyle Chandler, Charles Dance, and many more familiar faces:

The official synopsis, from Warner Bros:
Following the global success of Godzilla and Kong: Skull Island comes the next chapter in Warner Bros. Pictures’ and Legendary Pictures’ cinematic MonsterVerse, an epic action adventure that pits Godzilla against some of the most popular monsters in pop culture history. The new story follows the heroic efforts of the crypto-zoological agency Monarch as its members face off against a battery of god-sized monsters, including the mighty Godzilla, who collides with Mothra, Rodan, and his ultimate nemesis, the three-headed King Ghidorah. When these ancient super-species—thought to be mere myths—rise again, they all vie for supremacy, leaving humanity’s very existence hanging in the balance.
Godzilla: King of the Monsters will save us all May 31, 2019.
I am really looking forward to this one, as the new Godzilla was good, and Skull Island even better. It’s too bad my old favorite Gamera, the flying turtle, can’t be in it, but I guess his rights are owned by a different company.
This is beyond silly. Terrible dialogue (I am surprised that the actors could stomach saying the things that came out of their mouth) folded into an excuse to throw all the special effects the producers could pay for onto the screen. Yes I know there is room for the popcorn movie, but can’t it show some intelligence? It’s a cash cow that the studio is milking for all its worth. Give me intelligent SF.
The music in this trailer is incredible! Anyone know what it is (if not an all-original score)?
the music is “Clair D’Lune” by Debussy
I am an avid godzilla fan. Grew up on toho monsters and am glad for the make over. I dont care about a storyline. Glad there is one but titan vs titan and destruction is what sells for me. Simple and worth the admission.
Isn’t this video the first trailer, though?
@6/Rasarr: You’re right — only the first 10 seconds of the video are new, compiling the “viral videos” released over the past few days. The rest is the same trailer that was released back in July.
Update: It’s been reported that the actual new trailer will go online tomorrow, December 10. Apparently it was originally indicated that it would be coming out this week, which is probably the source of confusion.
@8 What happened, another president die or something?
@6 / @7 / @8 My mistake, as there was some confusion with regard to when a new trailer was being released. We’ve updated the post accordingly.
