At last! The first teaser for Legendary and Warner Brothers' Godzilla vs. Kong has arrived, giving fans their first major look at the kaiju epic that's set for release in but a matter of weeks. Naturally, the teaser focuses primarily on the film's titular monsters, showing Godzilla and Kong duking it out in various locales, from a mid-sea fight aboard a freighter to a tussle in the middle of a neon-lit city.

Yet among all the fists thrown, there was a sense of mystery as some of the human characters involved suggested something was forcing Godzilla to act now. Now, fans think we've already seen the true antagonist of the film in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment. If you pay attention around the 1:42 mark, you'll see screens charging what appears to some off-screen weapon. Furthermore, if you look at the background, there appears to be a diagram on the wall that resembles MechaGodzilla, the long-time mechanical antagonist to our lizard friend.

The new Godzilla vs. Kong synopsis can be found below.

"Legends collide in 'Godzilla vs. Kong' as these mythic adversaries meet in a spectacular battle for the ages, with the fate of the world hanging in the balance," the synopsis states. "Kong and his protectors undertake a perilous journey to find his true home, and with them is Jia, a young orphaned girl with whom he has formed a unique and powerful bond. But they unexpectedly find themselves in the path of an enraged Godzilla, cutting a swath of destruction across the globe. The epic clash between the two titans--instigated by unseen forces--is only the beginning of the mystery that lies deep within the core of the Earth."
