Regardless of some bumps alongside the best way (we’re largely you, Godzilla: King Of The Monsters), Legendary’s MonsterVerse has – by and enormous – been a well-received retooling of the wealthy world of Kaiju for an period of cinematic universes and CGI. Final yr’s Godzilla Vs. Kong managed a powerful $468 million globally on the field workplace mid-pandemic, galvanising followers’ enthusiasm with neon-lit punch-ups, a visit to the mythic Hole Earth with all people’s favorite cheeky monkey, and precise Mechagodzilla!
Again in January, we stuffed you in on the information that Apple TV are shifting forward with plans for a MonsterVerse spin-off sequence – Monarch, helmed by Star Trek: Enterprise veteran Chris Black and Hawkeye comics author Matt Fraction. That present will dig into the historical past behind its titular shadowy scientific organisation, happening within the aftermath of Godzilla’s battle with the Titans in San Francisco.
And now, we’ve discovered through Selection {that a} follow-up to Godzilla Vs. Kong – which up till now has very a lot been up within the air (there was no post-credit sting, and Legendary have been tight-lipped on the subject) – is about to shoot later this yr on Australia’s Golden Coast. This would be the third MonsterVerse entry shot down underneath, with King Of The Monsters and Kong: Cranium Island having beforehand filmed on the Golden Coast and Southeast Queensland state.
Godzilla Vs. Kong director Adam Wingard could also be busy in the intervening time together with his upcoming Face-Off sequel, however he has stated prior to now he’d be recreation for a return to the MonsterVerse. On condition that we final noticed Kong on the Hole Earth throne, all we are able to actually say for now’s – Lengthy Dwell The King!
