NAME_1 x NAME_2: The New Empire (2024). Directed by: NAME_3. Starring: NAME_4, NAME_5, NAME_6, NAME_7, NAME_8, NAME_9, and NAME_10. Opening on: March 15, 2024. The two greatest kaiju of all time are back for round two in the follow-up to the Monsterverse’s 2021 showdown. However, the synopsis suggests that they might be allies from the start rather than enemies this time around, as NAME_1 and NAME_2 will face “a colossal undiscovered threat hidden within our world.” NAME_4 has been cast as the lead of the film, alongside returning GvK actors NAME_5, NAME_6, and NAME_7. NAME_3, who directed the previous bout, will be behind the camera for this one, too. NAME_11 (2024). Directed by: NAME_12. Starring: NAME_13, NAME_14, and NAME_15. Opening on: March 22, 2024. Although critics haven’t been kind to most of NAME_16’s live-action remakes of their classic animated films, they’ve been a hit with moviegoers at the box office, which might explain why NAME_11 is getting the same treatment some 87 years after the original 1937 cartoon came out. West Side Story’s NAME_13 stars as NAME_11, with Wonder Woman’s NAME_14 playing the Evil Queen. Image from Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023). (Photo by Sony Pictures).
