Monarch: Legacy of Monsters season 2 has prompted discussion about how the series will portray Godzilla and Kong within the established Monsterverse timeline. The Apple TV series is set to give Kong a larger role and centers on a new threat called Titan X, and marketing indicates Godzilla will also be prominent. Season 1 ended with the main characters in 2017, which is earlier than the film events that show Godzilla and Kong meeting. These factors have led to questions about how the show can include both Titans without conflicting with prior Monsterverse entries.
Key points:
- Monarch: Legacy of Monsters season 2 is expected to focus more on Kong and involve a new threat named Titan X.
- Marketing materials suggest Godzilla will play a significant role in season 2.
- Season 1 concluded with its characters positioned in 2017, seven years before the Titans' first onscreen meeting in Godzilla vs. Kong (2021).
- In Godzilla vs. Kong, Godzilla was shown to know of Kong's existence and location; the films have not shown Kong's prior awareness of Godzilla.
Summary:
The timeline placement and dual prominence of the Titans raise questions about how the series will handle both characters while respecting established Monsterverse canon. Undetermined at this time.
