Monarch: Legacy of Monsters
Warning : Spoilers for Godzilla x Kong : The New Empire
Summary
With numerousMonsterverseTV spinoffs on the way , it ’s worth wondering which character and construct from Godzilla and Kong ’s world will get their own shows next . WithGodzilla x Kong : The New Empiremaking a splashing at the box office , there ’s already in force reason to be optimistic about the future of Legendary ’s Monsterverse . However , it ’s become plain that it ’s not just the picture side of the Monsterverse that ’s going inviolable . A late announcement indicates it will also prosper on the humble blind , presumably for years .
Both Netflix and Apple TV+ have been involved in expanding the Monsterverse through cyclosis . In the case of Netlfix , it ’s unclear if it has anything else to add to the mix , considering that itsSkull Islandanime liberate in June 2023 and has yet to be renewed . Apple TV+ , on the other hand , has confirmed thatMonarch : Legacy of Monstersseason 2is in development . Plus , Apple TV+ has plan to grow its corner of the Monsterverse with " multiple " spinoffs . The promise of more than one TV serial define in the Monsterverse speak to the overall success of Godzilla and Kong ’s cinematic universe and the streamer ’s commitment to its characters .
Of course , the focus of these spinoffs - and on the button how many there will be - remains clear to speculation . That said , there ’s no shortage of boulevard for Apple TV+ to research when it comes to the Monsterverse . Acrossfive Godzilla and Kong film , Legendary has built an expansive , lore - rich public rife with storytelling opportunities . Not only that , but it ’s important to note that the pennant ’s choice go beyond the Titans and locations the Monsterverse has already found , fall in that Toho ’s library of kaiju bestow Apple TV+ even more appealing pick .
7Rodan
Rodan proved almost 70 years ago that he can carry his own project
In Toho ’s movies , Rodan has a reputation as one of Godzilla ’s biggest friend . Godzilla : King of the Monsters’ending paved the mode for the two to finally team up , but such an alliance has yet too appear in the Monsterverse . Rodan was denied chance to serve Godzilla in bothGodzilla vs. KongandGodzilla x Kong . But if the movies stay on to increase in scale of measurement , the next instalment could be the only that facility Rodan ’s payoff , perchance in an travail to bolster Godzilla and Kong ’s forces ahead of a monumental Titan battle . If that happen , the Monsterverse can aid build toward a potential team - up with Godzilla and Kong via a Rodan - centrical TV show .
If the Monsterverse were to give a solo moving picture or show to a Titan other than Godzilla or Kong , Rodan would arguably be the strongest candidate . Having already headlined a popular kaiju pic in 1956 , not to bring up a handful of appearances in Godzila ’s movies , Rodan has enough name recognition to justify making him the focus of his own show . As for what it could entail , aRodanseries from Apple TV+ could explore humans dealing with the ramifications of Rodan emerging from a volcano . When he was last mention in canon , Rodan was in Fiji , but he could have prompt since then . Regardless of where he is now , his next waking up could pit him against a Titan rival of his own .
6Gamera
Apple TV+’s spinoffs could set up a Godzilla vs. Gamera showdown
While not a Toho property , Gamera would make a plenty of sense for a Monsterverse installment . A kaiju possess by the Kadokawa Corporation and a former boxwood federal agency rival to Godzilla , Gamera has starred in 12 monster movies since 1965 . Although he has n’t been on the liberal screen since 2006 , Gamera remains popular with elephantine ogre movie sports fan and could be a boon to Apple TV+ ’s Monsterverse lineup . As a turtleneck - like goliath with a jet - power shield , Gamera has what it bring to be a formidable Monsterverse Titan complete with a large design .
The fact that Godzilla and Gamera are n’t in the enfranchisement should n’t stop the Monsterverse from using the kaiju . Rather , it could increase interest in the prospect . For years , a Godzilla vs. Gamera crosswalk movie has been spill the beans about , but not something that ’s ever hail tight to fruition . Similar to how Legendary has take on some of Toho ’s monsters , the studio apartment could buy the rightfulness to Gamera and employ a Monsterverse TV series to introduce him . Godzilla : King of the Monstersdirector Michael Dougherty once acknowledged this possibility , explaining thatGamera could connect the Monsterverseif the rights were bought .
5Godzilla B.C.
In contrast to traditional Godzilla movies where the King of the Monsters is simply a product of nuclear examination , the Monsterverse is a world rooted in ancient chronicle . The Titans of the Monsterversehave been live for grand of year , with their backstories referenced across several flick . But in cattiness of the grandness ancient history has to the Monsterverse ’s traditional knowledge , none of its movies or shows have been set prior to the twentieth hundred . AGodzilla B.C.movie has been discussed by Dougherty , but the construct has never gotten further than that .
A hazard to see the idea realized in live - activeness could come in the near futurity thanks to Apple TV+ ’s upcoming expansion of the Monsterverse . If one of its spinoffs is set centuries ago , it could show Godzilla and other Monsterverse Titans from the view of an ancient human society . Focusing on hoi polloi who have no technical agency of oppose the Titan threat would makeGodzilla B.C.inherently different from all other projects sport the kaiju . Heading in this direction could also start the Monsterverse to work some of the mysteries of its past times , such as theAnguirus skeleton spotted inGodzilla : King of the Monsters .
4King Caesar
King Caesar has only been in two Godzilla movies
The account of 1974’sGodzilla vs. Mechagodzillareveals the perfect blueprint for a young Monsterverse adventure , one that would n’t even need Godzilla himself . Godzilla vs. Mechagodzillasaw its human admirer go on a seeking to awaken King Caesar , a dog - comparable kaiju that act as the guardian of Okinawa . As an ancient guardian , King Caesar is like to concept to the Monsterverse ’s Mothra , meaning he would fit seamlessly into its earthly concern . It ’s not heavy to envisage King Caesar hibernating somewhere in the Monsterverse , waiting for humans to seek his assistance against an malefic Titan .
WhereasGodzilla vs. Mechagodzillaultimately attend Godzilla steal the glare from the kaiju in the net showdown against Mechagodzilla , aKing CaesarTV serial could let the monster stand on his own . take this itinerary could be a smashing move for the Monsterverse , specially if the spinoff evidence successful . So far , the Monsterverse has rested on the shoulders of Godzilla and Kong , but it can slow allay some of the incumbrance onto other heroic monsters if it take in kaiju like King Caesar . And after his show ends , he could have his story cover in a future Monsterverse picture alongside Godzilla or Kong ( if not both ) .
3A Monsterverse Series Set In The Hollow Earth
It could unveil another Hollow Earth realm
Similar to how Netflix’sSkull Islandshow offered an in - profoundness look at the ecosystem of Kong ’s home , a show specify in the Monsterverse ’s Hollow Earth world would provide all sorts of unchartered territory for it to explore , albeit on a much broad scale . Theoretically , the serial could take position afterGodzilla vs. Konginthe Monsterverse timeline , which was when Monarch estimate out how to safely go in the Hollow Earth . As evidence byGodzilla x Kong , Monarch now has outstation all over the Titans ' secret world . A TV show could centre on the effort of one of these Monarch team and highlight the various monstrosity they see down there .
Because the Hollow Earth is a massive lieu that house multiple region , there would n’t be much of a endangerment of it interfering with what Legendary ’s movies may have in storefor Godzilla and Kong if they reunify in another film . Not unlike howMonarch : Legacy of Monstersseason 1created its own corner of the Hollow Earth with Axis Mundi , a Monsterverse spinoff could build its own realm , complete with alone monsters and geographics . But as opposed toMonarch , which ended its first season with a two - sequence electric discharge in Axis Mundi , a suppositious Hollow Earth show could be set primarily underground .
2Mothra
The Monsterverse could reveal more about Mothra’s history and how her life cycle works
WithMothra alive again afterGodzilla x Kong , Apple TV+ ’s Monsterverse spinoffs have the potential to continue her journey . She may not be the physical threat that Godzilla is , but she possesses enough index to be look at a force-out to be calculate with . That , combined with the mystique of the fiber and her epic nature , has helped Mothra become an enduring teras movie icon sovereign of Godzilla . If the Monsterverse were to take a pool stick from Toho ’s many Mothra movies , it could devote an integral series to the Queen of the Monsters .
There ’s several steering a Mothra serial publication could take , one of which being the slack end created by the introduction of Zhang Ziyi ’s dual character inGodzilla : King of the Monsters . They were positioned to be the Monsterverse ’s solution to the Twin Fairies , but the Monsterverse has ostensibly abandon the connection . It could be properly revisit in the show , which could explain their association to Mothra . As for who the scoundrel could be , Mothra ’s show could insert Battra , her evil counterpart fromGodzilla vs. Mothra . Battra ’s debut could provide an explanation for the Mothra - like egg tease by theKing of the Monsterscredits .
1A Monsterverse Series Based On King Of The Monsters' Original Titans
10 Titans from Godzilla: King of the Monsters still haven’t appeared onscreen yet
Of naturally , Apple TV+ ’s show do n’t have to rely solely on fan - favorite kaiju that predate the Monsterverse . It has an telling batting order of teras of its own that it can tip on as well . In plus to the four original Titans featured inGodzilla : King of the Monsters , the movie confirmed the existence of 11 more . One , Tiamat , appear inGodzilla x Kong , but the other 10 still have n’t made their hot - action debuts . Since most of these beast miss prescribed designs , any show that decides to use them would have a enceinte deal of originative freedomwhen building their places in Monsterverse lore .
