Yep, the two iconic monsters will meet in the future. They already announced Godzilla Vs. King Kong for 2020.

GODZILLA VS. KING KONG Announced; Trilogy Release Dates Revealed

Godzilla-King-Kong-101415-Dragonlord.jpg


Press Release: Following Legendary's and Warner Bros. Pictures' 2014 success with the global reinvention of the Godzilla franchise, the companies have come together to create an epic, new shared cinematic franchise. All-powerful monsters become towering heroes for a new generation, revealing a mythology that brings together Godzilla and Legendary's King Kong in an ecosystem of other giant super-species, both classic and new. Monarch, the human organization that uncovered Godzilla in the 2014 film, will expand their mission across multiple releases.

The announcement that the reinvention of monsters continues was made today by Legendary CEO, Thomas Tull, and Kevin Tsujihara, Chairman and CEO, Warner Bros. The initial trio of films are 2017's Kong: Skull Island; Godzilla 2 in 2018; and then Godzilla Vs. King Kong, arriving in theaters in 2020. While Legendary maintains its new home at Universal Pictures, the Godzilla films remain in partnership with Warner Bros., who will now also distribute Kong as a part of this franchise. Production on Kong: Skull Island begins October 19th.

Warner Bros. and Legendary released Godzilla in May 2014 with an agreement to release Godzilla 2 on June 8, 2018. Both films feature the human Monarch organization. Shortly following Legendary's pact with NBC Universal, Legendary acquired rights to additional classic characters from Toho's Godzilla universe, including Rodan, Mothra, and King Ghidorah. This paved the way for developing a franchise centered around Monarch and anchored by Godzilla, King Kong, and other famous creatures.

When Legendary announced films centered on Godzilla and Kong, fans all over the world speculated these two characters might one day meet in the same film. Classic Toho monsters including King Ghidorah, Mothra, and Rodan, as announced at Comic-Con 2014, may also join the Legendary pantheon of giant monster mayhem going forward.

"Audiences really responded to Godzilla," stated Tull. "Today, I'm excited to reveal that film was only the beginning of an epic new entertainment universe. As a lifelong fan of these characters, I've always wanted to see the ultimate showdown, and today we're pleased to be announcing that and more."

"Working with our partners at Legendary, we enjoyed tremendous creative and commercial success with 'Godzilla,'" said Tsujihara. "It's great to be able to revisit these characters and help create a franchise with so many creative possibilities for filmmakers. Fans love these big, globally iconicfilms and it doesn't get any bigger than this."

Quick thoughts:
1.Humor is shitty and forced. "That's Kong, he's King round here." - I wanted to stab myself.

2. Kong is looking a bit more believable-ish. I'm lowering my temper tantrum regarding him for a few notches.

3. I'm liking the monsters' design. Looks like it's gonna be cool.

4. I hope they explain in the movie how such a hostile island filled with huge ass monsters is able to sustain human life. Kong can't always be there to save the day. Sooner or later one of those mutant lizard looking things is gonna eat those natives.
 
As a huge kaiju fan, I'm very excited for this movie. Love that its a vietnam era piece, and love Kongs looks....but I'm sad the trailer gave so much of the movie away. I have a big problem with modern trailers doing that...it's like they chronicle every key scene throughout the whole movie.
 
a lot of really good actors in this that I like and the CGI is very good, but all the comedy and dialogue really fell flat. also, not really feeling the zombie dinosaur thing.
 
Hells yeah fucking right! I can't wait for this to come out.

Thanks for tagging me with the updates @Dragonlordxxxxx ,sure do appreciate it man :)

I don't know how I feel , I wish Kong wasn't so huge and I wish they weren't going up against crawler type creatures. Also hoping there isn't any Jurassic World type dialogue cheese.

The main problem with Jurassic Park movies is they make those movies more for everyone in the family to enjoy so they always make sure to have a few underage characters. This movie looks like all of the characters are military related(for the most part). And the cast for KSI looks really good with Hiddleston, SLJ, Goodman and Larson.

Yeah, totally. I hope at least half the movie is dedicated to exposition regarding the ecosystem.
 
So Kong walks around upright like a man in a gorilla suit, nice
 
First trailer was flawless. New trailer spoils the whole damn movie.
 
How exactly does a creature that big surprise attack you when you're in a helicopter? Fly away from him maybe?
 
Only John C Reily could make those lines work.
"I've never actually said that out loud before, it sounds stupid now". It got a solid chuckle from me.
 
John C. Reilly is borderline Dr. Steve Brule in this. I love it.
