The Resurrection of Mothra in “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire”
“Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire” brings back the majestic Mothra in the third act. Following her sacrificial death in “Godzilla: King of the Monsters,” the flying kaiju makes a triumphant return, helping Godzilla and Kong battle Skar King and the enslaved Shimo in Hollow Earth, all while protecting the hidden Iwi kingdom that has existed in this realm for centuries.
Mothra’s Mystical Powers and Purpose
This return shouldn’t be unexpected, as the Toho version of the creature always returns from the dead, due to her inherent mystical powers that enable her to cheat death by simply laying an egg.
The Role of Mothra in the Battle
With all the Titans throughout the world, Mothra, Godzilla, and Kong will have plenty of colossal threats to face, but since Mothra remains in Hollow Earth to protect the Iwi people rather than follow Kong and Godzilla to battle Skar King and Shimo in Rio de Janeiro, she may not always be around to help save the day. The last we see of Mothra is watching her rebuild the magical barrier that protects the Iwi kingdom from the rest of Hollow Earth and the deadly creatures that inhabit it.
The Future of the MonsterVerse with Mothra’s Return
It remains to be seen where the MonsterVerse goes from here, but the return of Mothra is only good news for fans of kaiju cinema.
