If you watched the trailer for Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, you likely noticed Kong wearing a mechanical gauntlet on his arm with no explanation given. So… what’s the deal with Kong’s new tech?

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire director Adam Wingard isn’t spilling any details about the King’s new bionic arm, but he did drop a few hints while speaking with Total Film. “It’s kind of hard to say too much more than that without spoiling anything, because he has one of my favourite intros of any character I’ve ever shot in my films,” Wingard said. “What I will say is I’d want to play with that [action figure] if I was a kid! And though Apex isn’t in this story in a literal way, we kind of hint that Monarch absorbed a lot of the Apex technology after the last film.
