Legendary also produced Kong: Skull Island (2017) with Warner Bros. in order to allow for the crossover with Godzilla to become the basis for the MonsterVerse, a series of movies about new and classic giant monsters.

Godzilla vs. Kong is scheduled to release exactly one year after the Godzilla sequel on May 22nd, 2020.
