Aliens In The MonsterVerse?

MemberAnguirusJul-22-2021 7:08 PMWith the release of Godzilla vs Kong, many fans are wondering what the future of the MonsterVerse may have, with speculation as to what stories may be told. Looking into the movies I noticed certain details that may foreshadow the potential future of the series. These details may point to the introduction of alien threats in future movies.
KONG: SKULL ISLAND
-Early in the film, Bill Randa meets with a senator to fund an expedition to Skull Island. The senator initially refuses, stating that "In terms of sheer waste, Monarch ranks right up there with the search for alien life". To which Randa responds with "Yeah, but those guys are nuts".
-Interestingly, before that scene, Randa mentions that "There'll never be a more screwed up time in Washington". Washington DC ends up being destroyed in the next film by King Ghidorah, an alien titan.
GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS
-During the events of the film it's revealed that King Ghidorah is an alien lifeform seeking to terraform Earth to fit his needs. It is currently unknown as to why or how Ghidorah came to Earth, whether he came to Earth on his own or if he was sent by an advanced extraterrestrial species, similar to the older Showa films.
-Interestingly, the main characters working in Monarch don't appear to be that shocked by this discovery. Given Monarch's secrecy and cover-ups in the past, it makes you wonder, how much do they actually know?
GODZILLA VS KONG
-During the opening credits, unredacted text reads: "CITING WORKS OF ANCIENT ALIEN THEORISTS HAKEEM KAE-KAZIM HAS WORKED IN CONJUNCTION WITH KAYLEE HOTTLE TO ESTABLISH A CONTROVERSIAL NARRATIVE."
-Towards the end of the film Bernie Hayes questions Mark Russell about a Monarch base in Roswell, New Mexico. In 1947, a UFO was said to have crashed at a ranch in Roswell. Early press briefings from authorities described the object as a "flying disc", however this was later redacted by the military, claiming that it was nothing more than a weather balloon. The sudden change in story, along with the Government's secrecy on the incident has led to theories of a potential cover-up. So why would Monarch set up a base there?
Alien life is officially confirmed to exist in this series in the form of King Ghidorah, however, this brings up more questions.
Where did Ghidorah come from?
How and why did he come to Earth?
Are there other alien titans out there?
Are there more advanced alien civilizations?
And, most importantly, do they come in peace?
Given the history of aliens in the Godzilla franchise, they probably DO NOT...
