Shimu is the final boss in the new Monsterverse movie “Godzilla and Kong: The New Empire”, hitting theaters on March 29. Legends tell that Shimu is the father of all titans, making him the first titan or kaiju to inhabit the Earth. Interested in knowing how tall Shimu is and the rest of the titans in the movie?
The ultimate threat to Godzilla and Kong
Shimu has been alive for millions of years, but little was known about him as he remained dormant in the depths of the Hollow Earth for a long time. In the past, Godzilla fought Shimu for the title of Alpha Titan, and Godzilla emerged victorious. Since then, Shimu has been waiting for the right moment to return, stronger than ever, and snatch Godzilla’s position as the king of the kaijus.
Shimu vs. Godzilla: How tall? Abilities and size
This legendary titan can spew ice, contrasting Godzilla’s atomic breath with Shimu’s freezing breath. It’s said that Shimu caused the ice age on the planet, revealing a crucial detail for Monsterverse fans. Who froze King Ghidorah? The answer is Shimu, shedding light on the size and power of this titan. King Ghidorah stands at 158 meters tall, with a wingspan exceeding 300 meters. Godzilla, on the other hand, is 120 meters tall, and Kong is 102. Shimu is a quadrupedal titan, but he can also walk on two legs. Even in his quadrupedal form, he is as tall as Godzilla, maybe even more. The challenge for our favorite kaijus arises when Shimu stands upright. So, how tall is Shimu estimated to be? His maximum height is speculated to surpass 160 meters.
Some hints about Shimu’s appearance
Thanks to the collaboration between the video game Call of Duty and Godzilla vs. Kong, we got a first look at what this super titan would look like. The definitive clue came from official toys and figures from the “Godzilla and Kong: The New Empire” movie merchandise, already available in some US stores. Remember that “Godzilla and Kong: The New Empire” hits theaters on March 29. Until then, we’ll have to wait to see who claims the title of Alpha Titan: will it be Godzilla, Kong, Skar King? Or will Shimu regain his coveted position as the king of kaijus?
