In the new trailer, Kong is seen interacting with a human child using sign language.
While earlier movies in the MonsterVerse showed all the giant creatures, from Kong to Godzilla, to King Ghidorah, as forces of nature that are far beyond the understanding of ordinary humans, it seems Godzilla vs. Kong will go a long way towards humanizing Kong.
In a previous interview with Collider, Godzilla vs. Kong director Adam Wingard had explained how Kong’s ability to express thoughts and emotions will be used in the film.
Directed by Adam Wingard and written by Eric Pearson and Max Borenstein, Godzilla vs. Kong stars Alexander Skarsgard, Millie Bobby Brown, Rebecca Hall, and Brian Tyree Henry.
