Legendary have just put out a press release which has revealed the official title for their highly anticipated upcoming Godzilla (2014) sequel! According to the release, Godzilla 2 will be titled Godzilla: King of Monsters!
Best known for his work as Executive Producer on such films as Warner Bros’ The Judge and Watchmen, as well as the recently released Jack Reacher: Never Go Back from Paramount, Gains’ responsibilities will include overseeing production of Legendary’s feature film slate including such highly anticipated projects as Pacific Rim: Uprising, Pokemon’s Detective Pikachu and Godzilla: King of Monsters. Gains will also work closely with the post-production team insuring that the filmmaker’s vision remains intact through production to final distribution.
The title is quite fitting considering Legendary plan to introduce a number of iconic Toho monsters for the sequel; Rodan, Mothra and King Ghidorah being the three previously teased at Legendary's 2014 Comic-Con presentation. Set for a March 22nd, 2019 release date Godzilla: King of Monsters does not currently have a director following Gareth Edwards' departure.
Godzilla: King of Monsters will act as a sequel to both Godzilla (2014) as well as Kong: Skull Island and will act as a prequel to 2020's Godzilla vs. Kong!
