There should also be an article on which Toho kaiju people would want to see the least of in the Monsterverse, such as Hedorah or Minilla or even Orga.
What Toho did with the limitations of suits is light years more creative than what Hollywood has been doing with monsters and their over-produced CG over the last two decades. Arachni-tiles invade Hollywood!
At least Pacific Rim and Colossal moved away from the Hollywood arachni-tiles. I'll take the novelty of three headed monsters, cyborgs with hook arms, upright, horned larva creatures and mechanical doppelgangers over spiderlizards every day.
Battra should appear in MonsterVerse Mothra film as a villain.
So getting back to which monsters we should see in the Monsterverse, I think that Battra should appear in GvK since Mothra is appearing in GKOTM.

To be fair, many of Toho monsters are also bland.
TBH I'm happier with classic monsters showing up than new ones. Hollywood nowadays is very desperate and are constantly making pathetic attempts at bringing back franchises. I mean looking at the Mutos, they're perfect examples. Hollywood is to scared to step out of the box so they just make the same monster, it's Cloverfield but an insect. Unless we got some really creative wheels spinning I think making new monsters is going to turn out bland.
Saw some footage from this at GFest XX 5 years ago. It looks really cool, crazy concept of course but still.
Mark Jaramillo was the guy that presented it. He made a documentary on independent kaiju films.
The podcast Kaiju 101 did episodes on this
Watching Creature Double Feature every Saturday afternoon with my dad in the late 70s/ early 80s.
@Im Durp I realize that he is the most popular that is yet to be confirmed, but I'm going off of what information we have so far, none of which seems to really relate to anything MechaG. I hope I'm wrong though, the original bad guy MechaG is due for a remake.

I don't really think he needs to be related to the oxygen Destroyer to show how likely he is. That comes from the fact he's toho's most popular monster yet to be confirmed in the legendary universe. If legendary is going to use toho's monsters chances are they're going to go for the ones that already have some type of marquee value.
@rigzzamortis86 Legendary confirmed new Kaiju only 3 months after the success of Godzilla 2014 if that says anything.
@Im Durp I think the deciding factor on whether we get Destroyah(ruling Mecha G out for now) depends on whether Ghidorah dies in this film or not, and of course how well the film does at the box. I don't see MechaG as the most likely because he is in no way linked to the Oxygen Destroyer. Now, if Ghidorah has ties with aliens, that's a whole different ball game.
@The Bootleg Rebellious @MinecraftDinoKaiju
In my mind, I think any of the Kaiju you are thinking of would fit perfect into a Kong movie. Kong vs Varan would be sick imo. Throw gorosaurus/anguirus/manda in there and you've got a winner.
I think the most likely toho monsters are MechaGodzilla, and maybe Destoroyah. Moreso MechaG.
As for who I'd like, King Caesar, Titanosaurus, and Biollante are who come to mind.
You mean something like Baragon or Varan or even the Kamacuras?

Personally tho, I would like to see a less use/obscure Toho kaiju make an appearance in the future installments of the MonsterVerse, If they decided to continue after GvK, maybe if both GKOTM and GvK did well at the box office then I can see both Legendary and Toho renewing the movie rights.
^I agree with you on that. I would love to see a classic Toho kaiju in there somewhere but until we hear otherwise of a classic kaiju then all I can speculate is that GVK will feature a new MUTO if they plan to have Kong and Godzilla fight together against a common foe.
^
Wouldn't be surprised if they decided to create a brand new kaiju for GvK movie.
As far as we know, Legendary does not have the rights to any more TOHO kaijus to use in this trilogy. As much as we would all love to see Destroyah, I have my doubts that Legendary will bring anymore TOHO characters in. So I think Legendary will go with the legal route and feature a new monster in GvK.
^I don't think it would be right to give another monster the same origin as Destroyah just for the sake of it being a new monster. It'd be fine if it were a new monster created by something entirely different. Oh and about Fire Rodan, YES.
Let me remind you, I once asked for Ghidorah on these forums long before the 2014 movie even came out and look what happened. Ask on the Godzilla-movies forum and you shall receive.
That is interesting. Also, I think they should do something similar to Back to the Future Part II when it launched in theaters, which had a trailer for the next movie at the end. It has been almost thirty years since it happened anyway.
I mean Destroyah would be a cool monster to see, but maybe Legendary might create an original monster that might also be created from the Oxygen Destroyer.
Hmm, interesting.

I guess I wouldn't mind seeing Destoroyah again since 1995 was the last time we saw him.
As much as I would love to see new monsters, I just don't think they would bring that "star power" that say, Destroyah or MechaGodzilla would have.
I could see new monsters being introduced as secondary characters but I have a feeling Legendary has more Toho Kaiju up their sleeve. With the talk of the Oxygen Destroyer, it's very likely Destroyah could be the villain for Godzilla vs Kong. Destroyah also happens to be one of Adam Wingards favorite Kaiju based on his Twitter. A boy can dream
My 3 year old will probably want the English dub, so ill watch that first with her. Then switch that shit over once she goes to bed. She is a Godzilla fan in training. She will come around.
Almost looks pretty convincing. Looks good, but still reminds me of Heisei Rodan, probably the most realistic version of Rodan until King of the Monsters comes out.
I think the MUTO's are cool looking but I think their design resembles to much like the Cloverfield monster in a lot of ways. I would like to see new MUTO monsters, but if I had to pick from some old school kaiju from TOHO? I would pick Gigan, Hedorah, Megalon, Destroyah, Biollante.
yes!! having a huge party!
I'm moving to Atlanta this summer specifically to find some way to work on this. It's a once in a life time opportunity and I can't miss it.
That would be insanely awesome if that happened
To be honest, I see both as the same, one better than the other in some situations, but overall, both are still good.
^
I agree. That would be an awesome idea for them to do that in Godzilla King of Monsters.
It would make sense to start the filming this year if they want to make the 2020 mark. I mean, it's possible that they could wait out until 2019, but with that being the year when Godzilla King of Monsters being planned for release, it would be smart to just have that also be the year to REALLY start hyping the "Godzilla vs. Kong" film. Or even more sweeter, include the first premier Trailer of Godzilla vs. Kong at the end of Godzilla King of Monsters. Similar to Back to the Future Part II when it launched in theaters, which had a trailer for the next movie at the end. Could you imagine the kind of hype that would happen when fans not only get to see a teaser End-Credit, but a Premier Trailer to the next movie? It likely won't happen, but that would be most wicked.
Or a Triceratops-based kaiju.

I personally would like to see a whale base kaiju
Maybe introduce more new monsters? As much as I'm happy to see Rodan, Mothra, and Ghidorah getting a Western makeover, I'd like to see original creations. The M.U.T.Os were cool, but I think Hollywood can make something really neat for the larger pantheon of kaiju in the series.
