Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire
Summary
A particular in theGodzilla vs. Kong : The New Empiretrailer points to the return of aGodzilla : top executive of the MonstersTitan . Directed by Michael Dougherty , the 2019 Monsterverse movie made a massive contribution to Godzilla and Kong ’s cinematic earthly concern through the new Titans it brought into the fold . Not only did it show off Monsterverse version of Ghidorah , Mothra , and Rodan , but it created a smattering of new creatures for Legendary to put in its toolbox .
Surprisingly , Legendary has yet to utilize any ofKing of the Monsters’new Titans in live - action . Rodan and the original monsters all survived the end of the movie and technically could have appeared inGodzilla vs. Kong , but the 2021 continuation did nothing more than notice them in its opening credits . However , that ’s not to say the Monsterverse is done with Rodan , Scylla , Methuselah , Behemoth , and the third MUTO . In fact , what was shown in theGodzilla x Kong : The New Empiretrailercreates the impression that at least one of them is indeed coming back .
Godzilla X Kong Teases Scylla’s Monsterverse Return
The 1:41 mark in theGodzilla x Kongtrailer reveals what front to be a Titan leg landing on the footing . What ’s interesting about this is thatit looks very much like the limbs of Scylla , the six - legged , cephalopod Titan fromGodzilla : King of the Monsters . Not unlike the mystery story teras inGodzilla x Kong , Scylla stood on slender , crab - similar legs . A close look at its legs was provided inKing of the Monsterswhen Scylla emerged from the oil colour fields in Arizona . Of course , there ’s a chance that the snug resemblance could be a coincidence , but even so , the similarities should n’t be overlooked .
Multiple behemoth were already expected to join Godzilla and Kong in the moving picture , with Skar King , new Monsterverse Titan Shimo , and Titanus Doug all confirmed to make visual aspect . But with this finicky shot in the merchandising , Godzilla x Kongis suggest that it ’ll do more than just convey in brand - new Titans . From the looks of things , it also plans to make the most of the rich Titan library the Monsterverse already boasts .
Why Scylla Makes So Much Sense For Godzilla X Kong
Godzilla x Kongusing Scylla - or any original Titan from King of the Monsters , for that matter - take a crap a lot of sense for the flick . While there may be a peachy interest from the fanbase in seeing iconic Toho kaiju like Angurius join the Monsterverse , include original Titansis so much simple and more toll - efficient . Dougherty has explicate before that getting the licensing rights to Toho ’s monsters can be quite expensive , hence why original Titans were created inKing of the Monstersin the first property .
It ’s for that grounds thatoriginal Titans like Scylla have arguably better odds at appearing inGodzilla x Kongthan Anguirus or King Caesar . Due to the mellow price attached to them , it ’s improbable that the Monsterverse would habituate these kaiju unless there was elbow room for them to have major roles in the story . And based on the marketing , that does n’t appear to be the case . But with Scylla , the Monsterverse can bring in in a familiar case that does n’t call for Legendary to devote a orotund sum to Toho .
What Happened To Scylla After Godzilla: King Of The Monsters
If Scylla does return , it ’s deserving noting that it wo n’t necessarily be the only thing that the Titan has done in Monsterverse canyon sinceKing of the Monsters . Scylla also seem inGodzilla : Dominion , aGodzilla vs. Konggraphic novel prequel . The Word of God revealed that two years after bowing down to Godzilla in Boston , Scylla reemerged in Georgia to engage the actinotherapy of a atomic dud . Godzilla stop her and try on to put her in her berth , but Scylla fend . Driven by her hunger for actinotherapy , Scylla resist the Monsterverse alpha and assault him .
Unsurprisingly , gainsay Godzilla did n’t work out out well for Scylla . With its skinny shape , Scylla was hardly a forcible threat Godzillaand was subsequently overwhelm with ease . Realizing that she was outstrip during the fight , Scylla surrender . Godzilla accepted her licking and left to check on some of the other Titans . After a few more fights , a tired Godzilla countenance out a bellowing that place all the Titans back into hibernation . Apparently , so many Titans being active in the wake ofKing of the Monstershad create an exhausting task for Godzilla .
His decision to send them to new resting places acts as an account for why Scylla and the others were n’t around inGodzilla vs. Kong . Thanks toGodzilla : Dominion’sending , it can be put on thatScylla is currently hibernating somewhere in the Monsterverse , though incisively which area she choose to be her young rest place remains to be seen . That could be a interrogation forGodzilla x Kong : The New Empireto answer .
Scylla’s Return Can Pay Off King Of The Monsters' Ending
Though Scylla has n’t had enough concealment - time to establish herself as a Monsterverse dearie , her bearing inGodzilla x Konghas the potential to lend the film a special present moment all the same . Godzilla : big businessman of the Monstershad what felt like a game - changing ending , but the new status quo it set for Godzilla has yet to be addressed on the large projection screen . By beat Ghidorah and earning bows from the other Titans , Godzilla in effect claimed the crown of King of the Monsters . But consume that title intend very little inGodzilla vs Kong , take that there were no Titans around for him to rule .
As a cinema focused on just Godzilla and Kong , Godzilla vs. Kongwasn’t in a secure situation topay offGodzilla : mogul of the Monsters’ending . Godzilla x Kong , on the other paw , appear to be relying more to a great extent on other Titans , which is a undecomposed signboard not just for Scylla ’s chance of show up up , but also for Godzilla to last get an opportunity to be the King of the Monsters . For the first time , Godzilla can take vantage of the assurance he gained from the 2019 pic by relying on his new Titan minions , Scylla include .
If Skar King really does typify the " stupendous threat " the synopsis forGodzilla x Kong : The New Empirehas implied him to be , Godzilla finally using his alpha Titan condition may become necessary . As for what that may entail , it could be that Godzilla will summon Scylla- and perhaps even some of the other originalKing of the MonstersTitans - to fight by his and Kong ’s side against theMonsterverse ’s Skar King .
