Bernie Hayes (Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire)

Suko is a juvenile ape Titan[4] appears in the 2024 Legendary Pictures film Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire.

Name

Suko, perhaps coincidentally, is a Filipino word for "surrender." The name was first revealed on the packaging of Playmates' Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire toys.[7]

In the film's trailer, Bernie Hayes refers to Suko as a "mini Kong". Director Adam Wingard also offered the nickname Baby Kong during IGN Fan Fest 2024, misquoting the line from the trailer.[1]

Design

Suko is a bipedal primate similar to Kong, but with orange fur not unlike that of the Skar King. He has green irises and a scar over his right eye.

Personality

According to the packaging for his Playmates figure, Suko is a "scrappy fighter [...] with a bad attitude who always has Kong's back."[7]

History

Monsterverse

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire

Suko was a young member of Kong's species who lived in the Subterranean Realm under the vicious rule of the Skar King. While accompanied by, or fleeing, three of Skar King's loyal subordinates, he encountered the gigantic, axe-weilding Kong. Suko was afraid of the stranger, but he extended his hand out to the young ape. Suko bit his finger and ran off. Kong pursued him until he ran into the three others Suko had come with. Initially, Suko tried to best Kong alongside them, but after being picked uo and used as a weapon against his fellows and being flung across the clearing, he hid instead. When the battle was over, Kong quickly discovered Suko in his hiding place, and offered him one of the fallen apes' dagger, but Suko refused.

Kong continued to follow Suko all the way to a massive lake, where Suko seemed aware of a present threat as he indicated to Kong to drink the water and bathe himself. Kong's considerable disturbance in the water's surface summoned a great sea serpent, and Suko watched as Kong battled and tore the beast to shreds. Later, as Kong sat eating the sea creature, Suko indicated that he was hungry, but refused to eat near Kong. Kong tore a piece off if the section he was currently eating and threw it aside for Suko, who mimiced Kong's lounging pose as he ate.

Soon the two arrived at the Skar King's lair, where Suko tried to blend in as Kong tried to help the enslaved apes. This drew out the Skar King, who menaced Suko. An ape who had been relieved to see the boy again on his return stood between him and the King, and for this was pushed into a pool of magma. Suko cried out in horror, but tried to appear inconspicuous as Kong battled the Skar King, and his horrible ice beast Shimo. When Kong's hand was damaged, Suko indicated a means of escape, allowing Kong to escape, although he was pursued by many of Skar King's lackeys. Kong lured them into one of his hunting traps, but the other apes were too smart to trigger its tripwire, leaving the injured Kong in peril. Suko, from atop the ravine, pushed the trao into motion, raining boulders down onto the menacing monkeys and killing all but one. Kong then led Suko to a hidden Iwi civilization where his human friend Jia was responding to a distress call. Kong was then outfitted with the B.E.A.S.T. Glove, and returned to the surface to summon his acquaintance Godzilla for help defeating Skar King and Shimo.

After Kong lost his axe traveling to the surface, Suko launched himself at it, dislodging it from the rock face as he was transported to the surface world. On leaving the portal, Suko used the axe to shatter Skar King's whiplash, thus costing him his control over Shimo.

When Skar King was defeated, Suko and Kong rode on Shimo's back down to the lair where the King had once reigned.

Trivia

  • Despite him appearing to be younger than Kong was in Kong: Skull Island, Suko is at least 45 feet taller than Kong was in that movie.
  • Suko is the third juvenile ape to appear in a King Kong film, after Kiko in Son of Kong and Baby Kong in King Kong Lives. However, while both of those characters were sons of Kong, Suko has no apparent biological relation to him.
    • It is likely he is a adoptive son of Kong rather than a biological son.
  • Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire's initial rumored title was Son of Kong (taken from the aforementioned film), referencing Suko.
  • A product description for Playmates' Suko with Titanus Doug Figure Set calls Doug Suko's ally, although they never interact in the film.[3]
