The film's sequel is already in the works.

It is the clash of legends that occurs in "Godzilla vs. Kong" when two mythical rivals engage in a magnificent conflict that has the potential to change the course of history. During their treacherous trip to uncover Kong's actual home, he and his guards are accompanied by Jia, a little orphaned girl with whom he has established an unusual and deep attachment. A raging Godzilla, however, suddenly places them in the way of the heroes, causing widespread devastation around the planet. There is a secret that lurks deep beneath the center of the Earth, and it begins with the epic battle between two titans, which was sparked by invisible powers and is just the beginning of the story.

When Jia comes to see Kong and offers him a toy, the Titan, realizing that he is stuck within the biodome, tosses a tree at it.

Meanwhile, Bernie Hayes, an Apex Cybernetics employee and presenter of the Titan Truth Podcast, exfiltrates material indicating dark operations at a Pensacola Apex facility, but Godzilla suddenly strikes as he finishes downloading the data. Bernie finds a curious piece of technology among the wreckage of the facility that looks like a big robotic eye during Godzilla's attack.

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.

They are joined by an Apex crew led by Walter's daughter Maia aboard a modified boat where a moderately drugged Kong has been locked up. In the middle of the night, Kong becomes restless and nervous, but Jia calms him down by instructing her and Kong to hold their fingers together in solidarity as Kong signs the word "home" for Ilene. On the next day, Ilene tells Nathan about raising Jia as her own when fierce and unpredictable storms killed most of the Iwi and her parents. Jia was the only survivor since Kong defended her, which resulted in them developing a bond.

As the Titan approaches and assaults the soldiers before capsizing the barge and almost drowning Kong and the others aboard, Jia detects Godzilla's presence via the ship's vibrations. Fortunately, Nathan unlocks Kong's shackles, enabling him to fight Godzilla beneath long enough to swim to the surface and tip the barge back on its head, sparing the passengers from drowning. Kong mounts a neighboring aircraft ship to confront Godzilla, who gets onboard to confront Kong. Before fighter aircraft distract Godzilla long enough for Kong to shove him back into the water, the two Titans trade ferocious punches. Godzilla unleashes his atomic breath from under the copyright, but Kong leaps off to avoid the impact, only for Godzilla to wrap his tail around Kong and pull him deep into the water, aiming to drown the Titan.

Godzilla, on the other hand, gets confused by depth charges, allowing Kong to emerge for a breath of fresh air.

Because there is no other option, Nathan decides that the group should turn off all of the ships' engines to fool Godzilla into thinking he has destroyed them and Kong has been defeated, which they eventually do. Godzilla looks at the shattered fleet with interest and then swims away, assuming he has triumphed. Realizing that reactivating the ships may allow Godzilla to return, the party decides to fly Kong to a Hollow Earth entrance site in Antarctica, where Ghidorah was initially frozen. Jia explains to Kong that his house is via the front door, but he is hesitant to walk through it.

Realizing Kong can't survive in the cold weather and that they can't return him to Skull Island, Nathan asks Ilene if Kong will go if he thinks there are others like him through there and she tells Jia to ask Kong that his family could possibly be down there, prompting the Titan to enter the tunnel and the teams follow him in their HEAVs.

Madison and Josh locate Bernie, who recognizes Madison as Mark's daughter and joins their inquiry. Inside the Apex headquarters, they discover that the "eye" Bernie had mentioned before has vanished. On accidently locking and transporting Skullcrawler eggs via an underground tube to Hong Kong, the gang accidentally locked and transferred.

They come face to face with Apex's ultimate weapon, "Mechagodzilla" a mechanical Godzilla controlled by Ren Serizawa, the late Dr. Ishiro Serizawa's son. Once the mecha is powered up, Walter sends in a massive adult Skullcrawler known as "Number 10" to put Mechagodzilla's Titan-fighting powers to the test. Mechagodzilla grips and restrains the Skullcrawler as it approaches Madison, Josh, and Bernie, before cleaving it in half with a massive red energy beam. The mecha quickly shuts down due to the power supply's limitations.

In the next scene, it is revealed that Walter aims to harness the energy of the Hollow Earth in order to overcome Mechagodzilla's constraints. Madison then understands that Mechagodzilla is the cause for Godzilla's assault in the first place: Apex is attempting to replace him and all of the Titans in order for humans to become the Earth's apex species, which is why Godzilla attacked. When Madison and the others are trying to find an exit, they come across a room where Ren is sitting inside the severed head of Ghidorah, which has been transformed into a biological supercomputer and cockpit for Ren to control Mechagodzilla through radio waves after Apex acquired it from Alan Jonah five years ago during Godzilla's battle with Ghidorah.

Kong and Nathan's crew discover a similar biosphere within the Hollow Earth. They are assaulted by two Warbats, one of which destroys one of the HEAVs. Kong saves the party by killing the first Warbat and swinging its carcass onto the second, knocking it out. The Warbat is suffocated by Nathan's team's HEAV rockets, allowing Kong to escape and pound the monster to death before munching on its innards.

Kong and Nathan's team start their journey at a stunning stone temple that belonged to Kong's forebears. They find artifacts of an ancient fight between Kong and Godzilla's race on their way inside, and Kong finds an antique axe carved from a deceased Godzilla's race member's dorsal plate. Kong's axe may also be replenished by this power source. Despite Ilene's concerns that Apex cannot simply take the find of the century, Maia and the Apex team capture the power source and return it to their Hong Kong headquarters using spider-like drones. Maia's guards open fire on Nathan's team, but Kong responds with a passionate scream. When Godzilla senses the activation of Mechagodzilla, he races to Hong Kong.

Godzilla makes his way into the heart of the city and, upon detecting Kong's presence in the Hollow Earth, uses his atomic breath to dig a hole through the environment, causing the temple to collapse. When a flock of Hellhawks attacks, Kong and Nathan's team rush to the rescue, only for Kong to grab their HEAV on their way out, crushing it in his hand despite Maia's attempts to shoot him in order to escape. After peeking inside to make sure Jia, Ilene, and Nathan aren't in there, Kong immediately crushes the aircraft in his hand, killing Maia and her team on board.

Back at the Apex headquarters, Walter enthusiastically instructs Ren to dispatch Mechagodzilla to slay Godzilla. Despite Ren's warnings not to use the new Hollow Earth energy source without first testing it, Walter dismisses his concerns and orders the mecha to be activated. At the same time, security apprehends Bernie, Madison, and Josh for breaking into Apex headquarters and transports them to Walter. Madison accuses Walter of inciting Godzilla to war and for all of this to happen in the first place, however he boldly argues that he took responsibility for allowing humans to fight back against Godzilla and the Titans.

While Walter is being blindfolded, Mechagodzilla goes berserk, slaying Walter with a single sweep of its hand and electrocuting Ren simultaneously. Mechagodzilla, controlled by Ghidorah's mind and freed from the Apex facility under Victoria Peak Mountain, flees from Godzilla's reach. Before the two engage head-to-head, Mechagodzilla fires a rocket barrage at Godzilla.

Godzilla, despite having already become tired from his previous fight against Kong, and Mechagodzilla battle, at one point both firing their energy beams at one other which lock together, only for Mechagodzilla to get the upper hand and push Godzilla down and burn him. Nathan, Ilene, and Jia approach an unconscious Kong, where Jia notices that his heartbeat is slowing down. While Mechagodzilla proceeds to overrun and severely beat Godzilla, the others approach an unconscious Kong. In response, Ilene explains that they are unable to generate a charge large enough to restart Kong's heart. However, remembering what Maia said earlier about the HEAVs producing a charge large enough to power Las Vegas for a week, Nathan flies the remaining HEAV onto Kong's chest and sets it to self-destruct, detonating the craft and unleashing a massive electrical charge that instantly revives Kong.

As he makes his way to Jia's house, Kong stops to watch the battle between Godzilla and Mechagodzilla. As Kong sees Godzilla be beaten by Mechagodzilla, she is first doubted by Kong, but she ultimately explains that the robot is the "real" danger. When Godzilla's leg is dislocated, Kong finally accepts and puts his anger aside before joining the battle to save Godzilla.

Kong is about to pull off the head of Mechagodzilla when Godzilla appears and blasts his atomic breath into it, enabling Kong to dismember the mechanical monster piece by piece and take off its head before sitting down and celebrating his victory with a triumphant yell.

Sometime later, Monarch have created an observation post in the Hollow Earth. One day, Ilene, Nathan and Jia watch as Kong passes by on his morning walk. After signing "home" to Jia, Kong swings onto a cliff, pounds his chest and roars, declaring himself as the king of the Hollow Earth and happily embracing it as his new home and kingdom.
