Until 2023, the MonsterVerse was a film-only franchise, made up of Godzilla, Kong: Skull Island, Godzilla: King of the Monsters and Godzilla vs. Kong. Then in June, the animated tie-in series Skull Island was released to Netflix subscribers, but there’s an even bigger streaming series on the way to flesh out this shared universe. Apple TV+ has been working on a live-action MonsterVerse-set series that will see Kurt Russell facing down Godzilla, and along with this project now having a new title, some first looks have arrived that have me even more excited for it.
Until today, this live-action MonsterVerse series has been known as Godzilla and the Titans, but it’s been re-designated Monarch: Legacy of Monsters. Taking place after Godzilla, which launched the MonsterVerse in 2014 and revealed the Titans’ existence to this fictional world’s population, this show follows two siblings who are following in their father’s footsteps to uncover their family’s connection to Monarch, the secretive organization that studies these towering monsters. But before we talk more about this show’s human characters, take a look at Godzilla himself doing one of the things he does best: scarily roaring.
