After delivering four films to the masses between 2014 and 2021, the MonsterVerse franchise is expanding beyond the realm of cinema. However, viewers need not worry, as Godzilla vs Kong 2 is scheduled for release in spring 2024. However, with animation skull island series that has been announced for Netflix, there is also the live action series titled godzilla and the titans is in development for Apple TV+ subscribers. VandaVisionMatt Shakman of is involved in this latest project and shared how godzilla and the titans will be connected to Godzilla versus Kong continuation.
In May 2022, five months after Apple TV+ launched the then-untitled MonsterVerse series, it was announced that Matt Shakman would direct the first two episodes, as well as executive produce. while talking to Collider about his new TV show The consultant (which can be viewed with an Amazon Prime Video subscription), Shakman was asked how much communication there was godzilla and the titans AND Godzilla vs Kong 2 teams, and he replied:
There is some overlap, although we haven’t talked much with Adam Wingard and his team. Legendary is the studio for our show as well as the movies, so they sit at the intersection of the two and have a mythology department which is wonderful. So they have opinions about how things can overlap, how certain creatures should be on one side or the other, so that’s talked about a lot. But as for the narrative overlap, it’s not that hard to tell, sort of a crossover of the MCU’s Disney+ films. It’s less organised.
Although Legendary Pictures is the production company behind MonsterVerse, in terms of distribution, Godzilla vs Kong 2 is located at Warner Bros, while godzilla and the titansas already mentioned, was created with the folks at Apple rather than being developed as an HBO Max show. So like Matt Shakman (who is also working on the Fantastic Four reboot), he explained, Legendary makes sure both projects are properly briefed on what can and can’t be done, and obviously those stories take place in the same universe. Having said that, godzilla and the titans AND Godzilla vs Kong 2 it won’t be as closely related as something like this VandaVision AND Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness to the MCU; you can enjoy one without having seen the other.
godzilla and the titans takes place after the battle between the mighty reptilian and the MUTOs that devastated San Francisco in 2014 Godzilla. The show will follow a family as they discover their buried secrets and a legacy that binds them to Monarch, the scientific organization that studies the Titans. godzilla and the titansThe cast includes Kurt Russell, Wyatt Russell, Kiersey Clemons, Anna Sawai, Josh Collins, Ren Wattage, Joe Tippett, Elisa Lasowski, Mari Yamamoto and Anders Holm. Chris Black and Matt Fraction created the series.
During, Godzilla vs Kong 2 will see the two beasts of the title cross paths once more, only this time they will fight an unknown threat that is lurking in our world. The sequel will also continue to explore the history of the Titans and the mythic battle that led to the rise of these monsters and bound them to humanity. Along with Rebecca Hall, Brian Tyree Henry and Kaylee Hottle reprising their respective roles, Godzilla vs Kong 2The cast includes Dan Stevens, Fala Chen, Alex Ferns and Rachel House. Adam Wingard has taken over directing duties on the upcoming film, and Terry Rossio, Jeremy Slater and Simon Barrett wrote the screenplay.
There is no timetable yet for when. godzilla and the titans will premiere on Apple TV+, but Godzilla vs Kong 2 will hit theaters on March 15, 2024. If you want to catch up on the MonsterVerse content that has been released thus far, an HBO Max subscription will come in handy.
