How tall are Godzilla and King Kong? Luckily for the citizens of Earth, the monsters aren’t real, so it’s difficult to pinpoint their size exactly — but Godzilla vs. Kong director Adam Wingard has a pretty good estimate.
“In terms of the sizes of the monsters, what I will say is that when we were making the movie, I think the asset sizes were about —I think that Godzilla was around 350 feet tall. And I don’t remember the exact size of Kong, but I know that he was always a head shorter than Godzilla,” Wingard told MovieMaker on the latest episode of our podcast, which you can listen to on Spotify and Google and Apple and above.
And when he says “a head shorter,” he doesn’t mean a human head.
“Like, an actual Kong head shorter,” he said. “Which is much bigger than Godzilla’s head, obviously.”
These are the types of figures that Godzilla fans often ask him for, and he doesn’t want to lead them astray.

“The reason I don’t want to like back myself into a corner here with this is that the Godzilla fans love this kind of stuff, you know? They love seeing the sizes, the weights, all that stuff, and they keep up with it,” he said. “And they’re there. They’ve been asking me and stuff, but it’s one of those things where I know how tall they are in general — but in terms of giving you an actual numerical figure, I don’t want to conflict with anything that’s out there.”
Wingard also told us about a scene in Godzilla vs. Kong that involves an especially epic fight between the two monster-rivals on top of an aircraft carrier in the ocean.
