InGodzilla : King of the Monsters , long - time Gojira fans and newcomers alike bore witness to the colossus ( aka Titans ) that live the world of the MonsterVerse . The sequel to the 2014 reboot confirm that there are 17 cognise Titans hide across the Earth , with many more feared to come out of hibernation as the Alpha predators Godzilla and King Ghidorah fight for dominance .
The sequel ’s roll of Titans includes raw faces and intimate legend like Mothra and Rodan , leading buff to suppose on who may appear in a potentialGodzilla 3 . With more than 30Godzillamovies to cite and almost 60 years ’ worth of found lore , directorMichael Dougherty(if he returns for the sequel ) and the writers have a lot of monsters to take from . Here are our 10 guesses for which classical Kaijus we think could face Godzilla after his clash with King Kong .
Destoroyah
Godzilla died more than once , but none of his death were as fabled as his engagement with the devil in the form of Destoroyah . Born from the originalOxygen Destroyer , Destoroyah was originally a cluster of mutated Cancer that blend to mold the demonic - looking Kaiju who would make a name for itself by killing the King of Monsters .
Though Godzilla ’s death is ( presently ) not a priority for the MonsterVerse , bringing Destoroyah to cinemas would considerably up the wager to life - threatening tiptop for a advanced Godzilla and his ally .
Anguirus
When a Titan emerged from beneath a mint range in the secondKing of the Monsterstrailer , excited fans put on that this signaledAnguirus ’ debut in the MonsterVerse . In reality , enounce Titan was a unexampled one that reckon more like a jacked mastodont identify Behemoth rather than Godzilla ’s first enemy and eventual friend .
Dougherty aver that Anguirus is one of his preferent classic Kaijus , so it wo n’t be a surprisal if the spiked beast take to the crowing cover should Dougherty be grant to helm the potentialGodzilla 3 .
Gigan
True to his Toho origins , King Ghidorah is give away to have add up from another planet , which open up the threshold to Godzilla ’s other exotic rivals . One of the three - manoeuver flying dragon ’s most feared allies is Gigan , a pop antagonist among fan anda personal favorite of Dougherty .
Despite the subpar lineament of his debut film , Gigan quickly gained a following thanks to his threatening feeling and savagery , with him being one of the few Kaijus to make Godzilla bleed . As the MonsterVerse slowly expands its reach to let in beasts from beyond Earth , there ’s no better time for Gigan to assail .
Megalon
Though not exactly lover ’ go - to Kaiju , the towering insect Megalon is a worthy fit for a continuation of the themes present in the third MonsterVerse motion picture . Worshiped by the subterranean Seatopians and unleash as their retaliation against the airfoil existence ’s heady atomic tests , a revitalized and update Megalon could not only make this bug more menacing but topically relevant as well .
That , and his appearance could help reintroduce a genuine fan - favorite : Jet Jaguar , the heroic giant mecha who helped Godzilla fight the Seatopian god when he first appeared inGodzilla vs. Megalon .
Hedorah
Godzilla and his fellow Kaijus being lumbering symbol of topical issues is nothing new , but none of them do this better than the smog devil Hedorah . Essentially contamination embodied , Hedorah is a toxic menace that feels more relevant today than during its 1971 entry .
impart the on-going and aggravate environmental crisis , the MonsterVerse ’s thematic direction could greatly benefit from updating Hedorah ’s appearance , motivations , and origin . It ’s also deserving mark thatGodzilla vs. Hedorahis considered one of the trippiest Godzilla movies ever made , so seeing itsstrange visuals and musicremade in a modern megahit would be interesting .
King Caesar
King of the Monstersrevealed that the Titans were idolise as gods by ancient races — a perfect introductory peak for King Caesar . The shielder of the Azumi clan , King Caesar laid abeyant in the mountains until his divination was to be execute . Also , he can only be awakened bya Sung number .
If most Kaijus comprise environmental issues or social anxiousness , King Caesar embodies more spiritual ideas . His cinematic reintroduction would give the MonsterVerse a nice supernatural spin to the Titans , just as long as his summoning song does n’t slow the pacing like it did inGodzilla vs. Mechagodzilla .
Biollante
Biollante may have the unusual origins among Godzilla ’s enemies not because it won a monster - design contest direct by Toho , but because it was born from an experiment that spliced Godzilla ’s DNA with plant and human cistron . The resultant role is a pernicious biological nightmare that ’s beg to be substantiate with modern CGI .
Aside from an surprisingly horrifying look , Biollante is an appropriate allegory for mankind ’s tampering with nature — an estimate that work well with the thematic direction of the MonsterVerse . Doughertyalso cited this monstrosity as one of his personal favorites , meaning its tax return to theaters may be inevitable .
Battra
LikeMothra , Battra is a giant moth whose delegacy is to defend the Earth . But unlike the benevolent goddess of Infant Island , Battra only cares for Mother Nature and is intent on killing the human race , which he sees as a scourge on the satellite .
Battra would make a fitting ally or cat’s-paw for the radical eco - terrorist introduced inKing of the Monsters , who also view humanity ’s demise as the Earth ’s salvation . The moth could also serve as a foil to the raw Mothra , who sacrificed herself to aid in Godzilla ’s war for humanity against King Ghidorah .
Mechagodzilla
Whether created by alien or humans , Mechagodzillais always made for the same function : to arrest Godzilla with the power of technology . Given how mankind is always being reminded of how powerless it is in the MonsterVerse , Mechagodzilla could be humankind ’s answer to the Titans and a reprehension against its low place in the food chain .
Thematic entailment aside , fans have always wanted to see Godzilla fight a mech ever sincePacific Rimproved that elephantine automaton could be brought to life through CGI . Seeing Mechagodzilla fight Godzilla on IMAX would be worth the monetary value of admission .
Mecha-King Ghidorah/Monster X
Let ’s be real : King Ghidorahwillcome back , we just do n’t know when and how . What makes this more plausible now is Ghidorah ’s new speedy re-formation abilities , ensuring that he ’ll last on – even as a sever headland currently in the self-control of the eco - terrorist Alan Jonah .
Previously , the Golden Demise came back as the metre - travelling half - flying dragon , half - machine Mecha - King Ghidorah and as the mysterious foreign Monster X. Some devotee even theorize he ’s the reliable villain ofGodzilla vs. Kong . Whether or not the MonsterVerse will use his premature forms is unknown , but Ghidorah ’s return is only a matter of clock time .
