Legendary confirmed in September 2015 thatGodzilla vs. Kongwill hit theaters after bothKong: Skull IslandandGodzilla: King of Monsters. SinceKong: Skull Islandis set in the 1970s, it’s possible that this post-credit scene will take place in present day, perhaps setting the stage for both of these monsters to clash inGodzilla vs. Kong.
