We know that Godzilla is going to be sharing the screen with fellow iconic kaiju Mothra, Rodan, and King Ghidorah in director Mike Dougherty's GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS, a sequel to Gareth Edwards' 2014 GODZILLA, but we only got a hint of them in the first trailer (which can be seen below). Now pictures of the tie-in toys that have been made of these creatures have arrived online to give us a better idea of what they're going to look like in the movie.
There are unique aspects to these designs, but I don't think fans of the kaiju from their previous screen appearances are going to be disappointed with this movie's versions of them. I'm glad Dougherty and his designers decided not to change these characters too much.
Written by Dougherty, his KRAMPUS co-writer Zach Shields, and Max Borenstein, co-writer of the previous GODZILLA and KONG: SKULL ISLAND (which exists in the same MonsterVerse as these GODZILLA movies), GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS follows
the heroic efforts of the crypto-zoological agency Monarch as its members face off against a battery of god-sized monsters, including the mighty Godzilla, who collides with Mothra, Rodan, and his ultimate nemesis, the three-headed King Ghidorah.
When these ancient super-species — thought to be mere myths — rise again, they all vie for supremacy, leaving humanity’s very existence hanging in the balance.
The film stars Millie Bobby Brown, Vera Farmiga, Ken Watanabe, Sally Hawkins, Kyle Chandler, Zhang Ziyi, Aisha Hinds, Charles Dance, Thomas Middleditch, O'Shea Jackson Jr., Randy Havens, Jonathan Howard, Anthony Ramos, Bradley Whitford, and Elizabeth Ludlow, with Jason Liles, Richard Dorton, and Alex Maxson providing the motion capture performances for the three heads of King Ghidorah.
GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS is scheduled to be released on May 31, 2019.
Dougherty has confirmed that a new trailer is set to be unveiled at Brazil Comic Con on December 9th.
Playing with my old Godzilla Shogun Warrior and the family camcorder is how I got started. Here’s hoping these SH MonsterArts figures will inspire some kid out there to do the same. pic.twitter.com/ArQbWY8iJG
