Will Godzilla be a sympathetic character?

I know Gareth is making the movie return to it's original roots as a violent and dark monster sci-fi thriller movie but I couldn't help but wonder, how will we view Godzilla? Is he even the protagonist (He's confirmed to be an anti-hero, I know)?

Here's some ways I see it:

-At first we dislike him for the grief he causes but in the end come to feel almost sad for him, a bit like Wikus Van De Merwe and the prawns in the movie District 9(great movie btw, who's seen it?)

and/or

-he is a run of the mill anti-hero like the Tyrannosaurus from Jurassic Park, where ultimately we root for him

I like to view Godzilla as not just a force of nature  but also a living animal thats misunderstood and suffering and doesn't INTENTIONALLY  want to cause misery to people, and it is only when we attack and try to maim said animals that goads them to fight back.
