A sequel to the film is in the works.

Godzilla vs. Kong pits two of the world's most feared monsters against one other in a fight that might decide the destiny of the whole planet. Jia, an orphaned child with whom Kong has created a special and deep relationship, joins Kong and his guards on a risky adventure to locate his rightful home. When Godzilla unleashes his fury, they find themselves in the path of the monster, whose trail of destruction cuts over the whole planet. Despite the titanic battle sparked by unknown forces, the mystery surrounding Earth's interior has only just begun to be unraveled!

Meanwhile, Bernie Hayes, an Apex Cybernetics employee and the presenter of the Titan Truth Podcast, exfiltrates material indicating dark operations at a Pensacola Apex facility, but as he finishes downloading the data, Godzilla appears and suddenly strikes. Among the debris of the facility after Godzilla's rampage, Bernie discovers a curious piece of technology like a big robotic eye.

Following the attack, the population, impressed with Godzilla's abilities to defend humanity, turned against him. Madison Russell, an adult listener to Bernie's podcast, is terrified about the newest Godzilla attack on her school. When she tries to reason with her widowed father Mark (who is also the Monarch's director) about the origins of Godzilla's rampage, he dismisses all she says, arguing only that animals, like people, may evolve. Soon after, Madison enlists the help of her best friend Josh Valentine to solve Apex's riddles and find the guy responsible for Godzilla's rampage.

Meanwhile, Apex's founder and CEO Walter Simmons engages Nathan Lind, a former Monarch scientist turned Hollow Earth theorist, to assist them in their quest for a tremendous energy source in the Hollow Earth, a subterranean planet under the Earth and the secret home of the Titans. Nathan is first cautious since his brother attempted to investigate the Hollow Earth and was killed by a powerful anti-gravity field within the tube. He ultimately accepts when Walter unveils Apex's development of Hollow Earth Aerial Vehicles, customized ship capable of withstanding the gravity field's pressure.

Since Skull Island is no longer able to contain Kong (because Kong has grown too large), Nathan travels to Skull Island and meets his colleague, Monarch anthropological linguist and Jia's adoptive mother Ilene Andrews, with his idea of using Kong as their navigator in order to lead them to the energy source. Ilene first rejects the task, but when Nathan convinces her that this is the only way to end Godzilla's rampage and find a new home for Kong, she agrees.

There, the three disembark and discover Apex's ultimate weapon "Mechagodzilla" a mechanized counterpart of Godzilla being controlled by the late Dr. Ishiro Serizawa's son and Walter's chief technology officer Ren Serizawa. To put Mechagodzilla's strength to the test against the Titans, Walter summons a huge adult Skullcrawler designated "Number 10" into the room as soon as the mecha is ignited. The beast is on the point of attacking Madison, Josh, and Bernie when it is captured and detained by Mechagodzilla, who cleaves the Skullcrawler in two with a tremendous red energy beam, enabling Madison, Josh, and Bernie to take refuge in a tiny hatch. However, the test is cut short as the mecha instantly turns down owing to power supply limits.

A magnificent stone temple belongs to Kong's forefathers, Kong and Nathan's squad begin their trek. On their way inside, they discover relics of an old battle between Kong and Godzilla's race, and Kong discovers an antique axe crafted from a dead Godzilla's race member's dorsal plate. This power source may also replenish Kong's axe. Despite Ilene's protests that Apex cannot just grab the discovery of the century, Maia and the Apex crew utilize spider-like drones to collect the power source and send it back to their Hong Kong headquarters. Maia's guards fire at Nathan's crew, but Kong passionately screams back. When Godzilla detects Mechagodzilla's activation, he rushes for Hong Kong.

Godzilla can't fly, which is a good thing. Maia and her crew attempt to leave their HEAV, but Kong snatches it on their way out and crushes it in his hand, killing Maia and her crew inside.

It seems that Godzilla is inspired with Kong's strength, and so spares his rival's life before walking away, leaving Kong wounded but still alive, and ultimately losing consciousness.

Walter instructs Ren to unleash Mechagodzilla on Godzilla from Apex's headquarters, and Ren eagerly accepts. Reminding Walter that the new Hollow Earth energy source must be tested first, Ren tells him to turn on the mecha. Walter ignores his pleadings and coldly commands him to do so. Bernie, Madison, and Josh are brought to Walter by Apex security for breaking into the headquarters. While Madison accuses Walter of inciting Godzilla into war and for triggering this in the first place, Walter boldly states that it was his decision to allow humans to fight back against Godzilla and the Titans that led to this.

Mechagodzilla goes berserk under the influence of both the energy source and Ghidorah's brain networks, slaying Walter with a sweep of its hand and electrocuting Ren while Walter is blinded. Ghidorah's consciousness controls Mechagodzilla, which escapes from the Apex facility under Victoria Peak Mountain in order to evade Godzilla. Before the two engage, Mechagodzilla fires a rocket barrage at Godzilla.

Jia attempts to persuade Kong that Godzilla isn't truly his adversary when he wakes up and watches the fight between the two monsters. Jia discloses to Kong that Mechagodzilla, not Godzilla, is the "real" threat, despite Kong's skepticism at first. In the end, Kong accepts and sets aside his resentment before going into fight to support Godzilla while he fixes his dislocated arm.
