Godzilla: King of the Monsters teaser gives a lesson in intimidation

A clutch of the puny humans who populate Godzilla: King of the Monsters (out May 31) get a good look at the size of the problem which faces them in a new teaser for the film. As Thomas Middleditch's character says, "Consider us very intimidated!"

In G: KotM, the iconic giant lizard is joined by the three-headed King Ghidorah, the insect Mothra, and another flying monster, Rodan, who in the original Japanese movies could create hurricane-force winds. About five years have passed in the film since the events depicted in 2014's Godzilla which isn't nearly enough time for people to stop freaking out about the discovery that they share the planet with you-know-who.

"The world is reacting to Godzilla in the same way we would react to any other terrifying incident, in that we are overreacting," director Michael Dougherty told EW last year. Godzilla hasn't been seen since that destructive finale, "but there's paranoia and endless speculation about whether he is the only one out there or whether we're threatened by others like his kind."

The new film also stars Vera Farmiga, Kyle Chandler, Ken Watanabe, Sally Hawkins, and Millie Bobby Brown, who's already faced her fair share of monsters as Eleven on Netflix's Stranger Things.

"It was very different from the Demogorgon," Brown said at this year's Comic-Con in San Diego. "Eleven has powers, it's a lot less terrifying because she can just hopefully kill them. But this was on a much larger scale. I had neck problems because we were always looking up so high. So it was a larger scale, quite literally. The Demogorgon was just a tiny bit taller than me, and Godzilla and all the other monsters are a lot larger."
