AceShowbiz - Having been long plotted with each character earlier being introduced in its own solo movies, two of the earth's fictional mightiest monsters are set to face off against one another in "Godzilla vs. Kong". Being delayed from its planned November 2020 release due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the showdown will finally be happening in the summer of 2021, bringing bigger catastrophe than what has been witnessed in the Godzilla and King Kong films. To make the battle fair, King Kong appears to have gone through a massive growth spurt since he wasn't an adult yet in "Kong: Skull Island".

From the studio that has brought to audience the "Pirates of the Caribbean" film franchise before, comes a new film based on another Walt Disney's theme park attraction of the same name. "Jungle Cruise" pairs Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson with Emily Blunt as the main characters, who are on a mission into a jungle to find the Tree of Life which is believed to possess healing powers. With Jaume Collet-Serra, who are known for his works on horror and action films like "Orphan" and "Unknown", serving as director, it's interesting to see the direction he's taking for this Disney movie.

Another movie postponed from 2020, "Dune" is the first of a planned two-part adaptation of the 1965 sci-fi novel of the same name by Frank Herbert. The sneak peeks have teased the stunning visuals to represent fictional planet Arrakis, while the ensemble cast features Timothee Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson (II), Oscar Isaac, Josh Brolin, Stellan Skarsgard, Dave Bautista, Javier Bardem and Jason Momoa just to name a few. Showing its vote of confidence with the franchise, Legendary has been developing a spin-off series that will focus on the Bene Gesserit and serve as a prequel to the film.

Other adventure, fantasy and sci-fi movies to be released in 2021: "Ghostbusters: Afterlife" (Jun. 11), "Uncharted" (Jul. 16)
