Godzilla won’t roar into theaters until May 16, but you can hear that roar now.
We’ve heard part of the titular monster’s roar at the end of the first trailer, which was released back in December, but now we can finally hear the full roar.
The sound was released on the official Godzilla soundcloud page:
The Godzilla franchise debuted in 1954 with the release of Gojira. 2014 will mark the 60-year anniversary. It’s been 10 years since the monster appeared on screen in Godzilla: Final Wars, so it’s a great time to give the series a reboot.
The film was directed by Gareth Edwards. He’s tackled the monster genre before with Monsters, but he’ll have a far bigger budget for Godzilla. It’ll be great to see what he can do.
This rendition of the Godzilla story boasts an impressive cast. Coming off an incredible run as Walter White on Breaking Bad, this will be Bryan Cranston’s first major role, and we couldn’t be more excited. Cranston is usually the best part of every project he’s in, and having him in a lead role in a franchise we already love couldn’t be more perfect.
Godzilla also stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson, perhaps most famous for his titular role in the Kick-Ass movies. Also starring is Elizabeth Olsen. Taylor-Johnson and Olsen will be teaming up once again as the brother-sister duo of Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch in The Avengers: The Age of Ultron.
