Godzilla: King of the Monsters
Godzilla : King of the Monsters ' after - credits scene sets up the return of Ghidorah , rag even more threats to Gojira than just King Kong . The giant nuclear lounge lizard will return in next year’sGodzilla vs. Kong , but his movie time to come now appears to stretch beyond that grudge match .
The monster sequel ends with Godzilla having defeat the exotic three - channelise dragonGhidorahin struggle and emerge as the reliable King of the Monsters , now commanding Rodan and a host of new Titans , include a gargantuan arachnid , a bulky MUTO and trunk - less mammoth . He ’s truly asserted his dominance and now has an United States Army to rebalance to world ( hopefully for goodness ) .

But this victory may be short - lived . Two opposing human brass need to control the Titans in different forms , there ’s a giant anthropoid on Skull Island who may have a grudge to settle and , as theGodzilla : business leader of the Monsters ' after - credit scenehints , Ghidorah himself may return . Here ’s what the stinger means for the future of the MonsterVerse .
Godzilla: King Of The Monsters' After-Credits Scene: Jonah Alan Buys Ghidorah’s Other Head
Godzilla : King of the Monsters ' post - credits conniption come back to Isla de Mara , the site ofRodan’semergence before in the film . A fisher leads a group of citizenry - later revealed to be take by Charles Dance ’s Jonah Alan , who escaped Boston before the big kaiju fight - down a hallway , state that they ’re in a " intrepid novel world " following the " upgrade of the King . " He also reveals that , following the Oxygen Destroyer ’s deployment by the US military in a command to bolt down Godzilla and Ghidorah , they ca n’t fish in the ocean any longer ( as shown in the beginning , all marine life was killed ) . And , so , they ’ve turn to more outlaw method of making money .
The fisherman takes Alan and his crew into a big way that contains one of Ghidorah ’s heads - the one Godzilla tore off during their fight just off the coast - which saltation menacing states , " we ’ll take it . "
Ghidorah Will Return - But Man-Made?
The obvious implication here is that , while King Ghidorah may have been killed inGodzilla : King of the Monsters , he ’s not gone for good . Jonah Alan will , in some form , essay to impart the three - lead firedrake back to life , presumably under his own control .

The most immediate way for this to pass would be for Ghidorah ’s fourth head to restore a new body , a reverse of how the three - headed fiend regrew a replacement for it . The logic of that - with any remotion of a head make a whole new monster - would be crazy , but certainly fits in the logical system of the MonsterVerse .
However , drop dead back to the Toho films , there ’s another opening . In 1991’sGodzilla vs. King Ghidorahthe original Ghidorah was augmented with mechanical midway foreland , wings and trunk to become Mecha - King Ghidorah , created to protect Japan from a rampage Godzilla . This engineering was the first looping of what would become the more well - think Mechagodzilla .
I would make sentiency for this to be where theMonsterVersewill head next : human - created and controlled Titans , with Ghidorah the first exam case . However , that does n’t mean we ’re talking gargantuan robots as in the Japanese films . When Monarch learn Jonah Alan was heading to Site 32 in Antarctica , they initially assume he was going for Monster Zero sample , not to awaken creature , suggesting the eco - terrorist methods before he became part of Emma Russell ’s awakening plot of ground . Could that be what he ’s really buying here : not Ghidorah ’s heading as much as the foreign DNA it contains , with an heart to genetically revivify the creature ? This bio - engineered , manmade colossus would surely contribute a raw border to Godzilla ’s comment on the ailment of humanity ’s weapons .
Whether mechanically skillful or genic , though , the obvious story direction would be one of control . Jonah Alan see his attempts to usher in a new world club under his command flop as the Titans ascendancy overpowered his . If a unexampled Ghidorah is his attack to rebalance the scale - either by controlling the Titans , killing Godzilla , or both - there ’d be delicious irony in the introduction turning on the Godhead .

However , as that flick will for certain be more immediately focused on the titulary bout , a whole fresh side - level with Ghidorah - another threatening alpha - could be overkill .
Instead , it would seem this is look further ahead and setting upGodzilla 3 . The manmade scourge would be worthy escalation for the mainline series , while also providing a style for Legendary to maybe top the Martin Luther King Jr. of Monsters vs. Apes .
presently , though , there are no officialGodzilla 3plans . In fact , afterGodzilla vs. Kong , no MonsterVerse movies have been dated . But that does n’t think of there are n’t project in development .
