Godzilla Vs. Kong Director Warns Fans of Kong's Hero Status ✖ Godzilla Vs. Kong director, Adam Wingard, has taken to the internet to talk a lot about the Legendary Pictures' crossover film that sees the current king of the monsters taking on the larger-than-life primate that rules over the creatures of Skull Island, and Wingard has taken the opportunity to discuss Kong's role as a "hero" in the film arriving later this month. In the trailers and television spots we've seen so far, it's clear that Kong is definitely on the "right side" as he is attempting to halt Godzilla's reign of terror that has left many human characters scratching their heads.
