Godzilla vs. Kong will pit the two titans against each other, and a new map gathered from Twitter data determined the desired winner of the match by each U.S. state.
The map, developed by online gambling company BetOnline, used geotagged Twitter data to determine how many people in each state shared a post using #TeamGodzilla or #TeamKong. The website, which traditionally used its software to make sports-based maps, used the data to determine a winner by looking at the kaiju showdown like a primetime boxing match.
According to the map's gathered data, Godzilla was chosen as the preferred winner of the showdown in the U.S. by 41 states. Only citizens of Massachusetts, West Virginia, Ohio, Tennessee, Mississippi, Missouri, Kansas, Montana and Idaho voted for King Kong to win the epic fight. Godzilla dominated the vote despite the fact that trailers for the upcoming Godzilla vs. Kong portrayed King Kong as the sympathetic hero. Nonetheless, support for Godzilla in the impending throwdown is so high that another hashtag, #NeverKong, grew on Twitter in opposition to a King Kong victory. Director Adam Wingard has assured fans that there will be a clear winner after the final showdown and that he has known who the winner would be since the second grade.
The clash between the two kaiju will not only be decisive but will also be a lengthy fight. The film’s music composer Junkie XL, who is also responsible for the score of the upcoming Zack Snyder's Justice League, revealed that an epic battle between Godzilla and King Kong aboard an aircraft carrier will take up a significant chunk of the film’s 1 hour and 53-minute runtime. "I'm not going to say how this thing ends," Junkie XL said. "And then so, this scene that was released today, was it on IGN? Forty seconds of footage? That scene is 18 minutes long and it's ridiculous."
However, Godzilla vs. Kong's runtime clocks in at the shortest runtime thus far in Legendary's MonsterVerse series.
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. The film arrives in theaters and on HBO Max on March 31.
