hmmm... I go with @SasquaDash idea. The concept seems more likely to be an early version of Astrogodzilla.
@Pindé I see where your going, and I agree with you.. but @sonictiger made a point.
I don't know if they confirmed it, but I believe so..
I believe that this quote could be an introduction to Ghidorah's own movie or a prequel to an existing movie.
I feel Godzilla 2014 had some good human agency thing going on that the other MonsterVerse movies lack.
As for an amount of future films, I noticed that Warner Brothers has been avoiding monsterverse announcements, while announcing about other projects. Like it announced Dune: Part Two, and a definite Monsterverse project hasn’t been announced for months now, either they have a big project or don’t have an idea yet.
I agree with you, one kaiju story I find gets around this problem is the Kaiju Nemesis from the Nemesis Saga
@HinikunaGoji: A month or two ago, Max Borenstein said that the creative team is throwing around ideas for multiple films going forward. Maybe “Son of Kong” was one of those ideas.
But that doesn’t mean all of those ideas are going to see the light of day. It’s too early to know what the future holds. For all we know, we may only get one or two more films and that’s it.
Amazing shots of the MonsterVerse...
good to see gmk gettin some love
Noodle Ghidorah makes a return as Tinsel Ghidorah
Yeah, Kong: Hollow Earth makes more sense.
I agree. It also could have been the working idea because it was a pitch thrown out there.
This is how I’ve come to evision the project’s creation is that a king sequel was greenlit before an idea was solidly made. Son of Kong was just an idea thrown into ideas and became the working title.
@HinkunaGoji: You make a good point. That’s why I said that Kong adopting a son is uncertain. Maybe the next film will be about Kong discovering a different species of Kongs in the Hollow Earth, but it won’t be about him adopting or having a son. If the creative team is planning another solo Kong film with this premise, then maybe they named this project “Son of Kong” to make easier to identify, and the title carries no meaning for the plot at all.
Yes, but that’s just a working title.
this is assuming it makes it past preproduction and previs
No Son of Kong, but still Kong: Hollow Earth
i mean, i don't really mind them
@SasquaDash: I agree! Do you think it’s meant to set up the arrival of Keizer Ghidorah for a future film? It came from the same book that included a moment where Dr. Serizawa remembers his son Ren, who later shows up in GVK.
What are your thoughts on the "cutaways"
It could mean that there are other members of the Ghidorah species and that King Ghidorah left his home planet in order to rule over another.
A
anyways back on track
sidenote, i wish AstroGodzilla was made
well looks like the Kong species & the Godzilla species are attacking that flying Godzilla, could be AstroGodzilla, SpaceGodzilla, or Godzooki
Why is there a tie fighter

@SasquaDash: That makes a lot of sense! Something else from the artbook that should be brought to attention is a segment towards the very end that talks about how Legendary has plans for tons of future content going forward, including films that further explore the concept of space-related threats. The monster shown on the mural could be the big baddie for a Destroy All Monsters film, or maybe it’ll be another Ghidorah since the KOTM novel teased that there may more of Ghidorah’s kind out there. There’s a segment from Dr. Chen’s notes which speculates that Ghidorah is a “younger son” who “would not inherit territory” and thus came to Earth “to find his own.” This could be a setup for Keizer Ghidorah showing up in the future.
Either way, regardless of whether it’ll be the monster on the mural or Keizer Ghidorah, I’m betting that the final boss of the MonsterVerse will be another extraterrestrial threat. A lot of fans are hoping for Destroyah to be the big baddie, but I’m starting to doubt it since isn’t much of a setup for him to show up. Some point to the the appearance of the Oxygen Destroyer in KOTM as a setup, but I believe it was simply meant to be a little callback to Gojira 1954, a way for Godzilla to be taken out of the story for a little bit, and a way to show that humanity will find ways to disrupt the natural order. Plus, the Oxygen Destroyer has shown up several Toho Godzilla films that didn’t include Destroyah. So just because the OD was shown in KOTM, doesn’t mean it was setting up Destroyah. On top of that, if it was meant to be a setup for Destroyah, I feel that it’s a pretty weak foundation since it felt kind of shoehorned in. I doubt that Legendary would want their bid baddie to introduced from a shoehorned in piece of fan service. They’d want it to already be established in the MonsterVerse, which is what the concept of extraterrestrial Titans is.
Not only is no setup for Destroyah to appear, but he isn’t a popular monster outside the Godzilla fandom. General audiences wouldn’t recognize him if he were to be the big bad in a Destroy All Monsters film. You can argue the same could be said for Space Godzilla and Keizer Ghidorah, but at least they’re different versions of already popular monsters. So I don’t think they’d be as risky to bring in.
Do you think the big baddie will be another space-related threat or Destroyah?
This is actually really interesting.
But.. I disagree.
I wouldn’t deny that the movie was brought on by the success of G14’ yes that much is true.
First let me address the subtitles. I won’t comment on the film put out to any other country than Japan, but I will say. The point of subtitles is to confuse you. That seems counterintuitive, but it’s an intentional choice, because it is used to get you into the world of the characters. They have to deal with this day in day out. They have to memorize the titles, names, and locations of people in an instant. That’s the world they live in. Handheld camera makes it feel more personal as well, which just adds to the confusion. Eventually you don’t even need to know the characters names. It’s just Beaucracy.
Now about your point on it not being political this really irks me because you miss the point. It’s not inter-personal conflict because they’re no time. The politics itself is what’s being critiqued. It’s how slow the government moves. The reason the people, the citizens are glossed over because of the government. They’re being sluggish.
What do you want Japan to feel like? A superpower with a Godzilla fighting defense force? Well that’s not what it is. Politics is boring. That’s the point. The movie isn’t supposed to be like that. Not some Godzilla vs nukes and missiles everything. It is the most realistic portrayal of a response because of how BORING the people are.
You know in 2011 people died because of this problem. Many factors played into it, but when the tsunami turned out to be way bigger than was thought, the response was slow, and people were warned after that wall of water had reached they’re house. And people died broadcasting news about it.
My main problem is you just mainly gut the movie to just being about “politics” because you completely get rid of what the film is critiquing. Politics itself needs something to focus on.
It was possibly meant to be a set of for a future film, but since, at the time, they weren't sure if GvK would be successful (or if more movies could be made), they probably cut it so that the film wouldn't end on a potential cliffhanger.
@SasquaDash: That’s probably the best way Space Godzilla can be brought into the MonsterVerse. But what I’m wondering about this mural is why it didn’t make the final cut of GVK. Why do you think it didn’t make it into the film?
Godzilla vs Toast Plushie.
You forgot the GVK parts where they cut away to Millie Bobby Brown and her Scooby-Doo crew trying to stop APEX's evil MechaGodzilla plans.
Mix up the IP and the OGs, more cool stuff that way.
