MUST-SEE, WHY?
Like all of Warner Bros.’ 2021 movies, the fourth title in the MonsterVerse will now debut day-anddate in cinemas and on streaming channel HBO Max in the US, though you’d be mad to settle for seeing these titans clash on your TV. Plot-wise, we know Monarch will unearth clues to the creatures’ origins, and that a conspiracy is threatening to wipe all said creatures from the Earth. Director Adam Wingard (The Guest, Blair Witch) insists there will be a bigger focus on character than in the franchise so far (“the arcs they have, how they relate to one another, and most importantly, how they relate to the monsters, and how the monsters relate to them”), but it’s the Big G slugging it out with everyone’s favourite giant gorilla that we’re here for. Still want more? Early action figures suggest Mechagodzilla will be tag-teaming. JG
