Fans waiting for the matchup between Godzilla and King Kong will be happy to hear that Godzilla vs. Kong has been moved up to a March 26, 2021 release in theaters and on the HBO Max streaming service.

It's amazing that the two mighty creatures will be able to get into the ring at all after the whiplash-inducing number of release date changes the movie has experienced. This is the fifth change to the opening date, with the most recent being in June 2020 when several movies were shuffled to avoid issues with the coronavirus pandemic. Normally, this many release date changes indicates that a movie is not expected the perform well, but the past year has been the exception that gives everything a pass in that regard.

Following 2019's Godzilla: King of the Monsters and 2017's Kong: Skull Island, the fearsome Godzilla and the mighty Kong are on a collision course that will see the two most powerful forces of nature on the planet collide in a spectacular battle for the ages. As Monarch embarks on a perilous mission into uncharted terrain and unearths clues to the Titans’ origins, a human conspiracy threatens to wipe the creatures, both good and bad, from the face of the earth forever.
