Godzilla has been cinema's most famous giant monster since the original 1954 film, and his roar has become one of the most recognisable sounds in movie history. This version is tied to Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, the 2024 Monsterverse film that paired Godzilla with Kong for a large-scale battle. Clips from the film circulated widely in fan edits, trailers and short-form videos, and the roar was soon reused on its own as a shorthand for size, power and arrival, keeping it popular long after the film's release.
