Godzilla vs. Kong (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the soundtrack to the 2021 American monster film Godzilla vs. Kong. A sequel to Kong: Skull Island (2017) and Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019), it is the fourth film in Legendary's MonsterVerse, the 36th film in the Godzilla franchise, the 12th film in the King Kong franchise, and the fourth Godzilla film to be completely produced by a Hollywood studio.[a] Directed by Adam Wingard, the film features musical score written and composed by Tom Holkenborg (Junkie XL), the fourth film composer to work on the MonsterVerse franchise.[b] He was announced as a part of the film in June 2020, before a planned meeting with Wingard, two years (when the film was under pre-production), expressing his interest on working on the score due to his personal love for the Godzilla film series during his teen years.[4][5] The recording of the score took place for nearly two years, and was bundled into a soundtrack album, released by WaterTower Music in digital and physical formats on March 31, 2021, coinciding with the film's United States theatrical release.[6][7]
