Wingard confirmed on Reddit: “The big reference that I haven’t seen anyone pick up on is when Kong folds up and kills Nozuki (aka Warbat) that was inspired by the holodeck murder scene in Jason X when Jason picks up the camper in their sleeping bag and smashes them around.”
Nice!
Godzilla vs. Kong vs. Mechagodzilla has received an A from CinemaScore! It also sports a 75% over on Rotten Tomatoes. The Critics Consensus reads: Delivering squarely on its title, Godzilla vs. Kong swats away character development and human drama to deliver all the spectacle you’d expect from giant monsters slugging it out.
Wingard says there will be no Godzilla vs. Kong Director’s Cut: “No Snyder Cut for me. This is it. A lot of the fans online were all asking me is this going to be a three-hour film? When it was announced that it was a little under two hours they immediately thought — when is the director’s cut coming out? I like movies under two hours. I think if you do a movie over two hours, you better have a damn good reason for it to be that long. At the end of the day, if you’re going to make this movie into three hours, you’re not going to get an extra hour of monsters fighting. You’re going to get an extra hour of people talking about monsters.”
