Godzilla vs. Kong recap
Monarch keeps Kong in a dome on Skull Island, where he befriends Jia, a deaf Iwi girl who speaks with him in sign language. Godzilla suddenly attacks an Apex Cybernetics facility in Pensacola. Apex's CEO Walter Simmons hires the scientist Nathan Lind to lead an expedition to the Hollow Earth, the Titans' home, to find an energy source; Kong is the guide. On the way, Godzilla attacks the convoy at sea and the two fight. In the Hollow Earth, Kong finds his ancestors' throne room and an axe made from a Godzilla dorsal plate, and Apex steals the energy. Madison Russell, her friend Josh and the podcaster Bernie Hayes break into Apex and discover what Godzilla was attacking: Mechagodzilla, a robot powered by the skull of King Ghidorah and piloted by Ren Serizawa.
