Of course , Godzilla : King of the Monsters’underwater civilization has drawn raft of comparison to the mythical lost metropolis of Atlantis . While an exact position was never given for the movie ’s unknown city , it ’s most likely in the Atlantic Ocean , since the Monarch ship was in Bermuda prior to move around underground . The Atlantic Ocean is ( for somewhat obvious reasons ) depict as the resting place of Atlantis , so it does seem reasonable that the city inKing of the Monstersis the MonsterVerse ’s take on Atlantis .
A connectedness between Godzilla and an underwater civilization - whether it be Atlantis or a completely original kingdom - is specially interesting because of what it could mean for Legendary ’s cinematic world . Here are some of the Toho demon who could be link to the MonsterVerse ’s Atlantis .
Gigan & Megalon
In 1973’sGodzilla vs. Megalon , nuclear belowground examination by the Japanese greatly angered the people of the subterranean realm sleep with as Seatopia , a place that had existed for thousands of twelvemonth . In revenge , Seatopia summon their god , Megalon , to take vengeance on the humans . Seatopia also managed to acquire the help of Gigan . It took the combined effectiveness of Godzilla and Jet Jaguar to drive off the two monsters , force Seatopia to give up on their plan to defeat the surface world .
Some have mull that the underwater refinement inGodzilla : King of the Monstersis the MonsterVerse ’s Seatopia . If this were true , it would launch the door for another movie in the series to enter Megalon or Gigan . Megalon is a mallet - like kaiju equal to of burrow underground , while Gigan is an alien cyborg with lure - like blades for hands . Gigan is widely see as a possible villain forGodzilla 3due his popularity with fan , whichincludesGodzilla : King of the Monstersdirector Mike Dougherty . Gigan was featured in concept art forGodzilla : power of the Monsters , which uncover that Gigan was in the first place look at for one of the Titans who gathered around Godzilla in the movie ’s final scene .
Gamera
IfGodzilla : King of the Monstersdid indeed stick in Atlantis , it would n’t be the first movie to associate the mythologic island with a famous kaiju . Atlantis is the birthplace of Gamera , the Guardian of the Universe . Gamera is a giant turtle - like monster who breathes fire and flies by snap jets out of the leg holes in his shield .
In theGameratrilogy from the 1990s , the Atlanteans were an ancient , advanced slipstream who created a mintage called the Gyaos . When the Gyaos turned on them , the Atlanteans make Gamera , who was design to be a military group for good . unluckily , the Gyaos destroyed the Atlanteans , but Gamera defeated them and pay himself to protecting the Earth .
While surely not a household name to Western audiences , Gamera has amassed a huge fan follow in Japan . Gamera has served as the titular role in 12 movies , which arguably ca-ca him one of the Japanese movie industry ’s most iconic monsters . Gamera was create by rival Toho company Daiei , but some of his films were distribute by Toho .
Like Gigan , Gamera was one of the three previously established monsters included in concept artistic production for the last scene . So it seems potential that Godzilla may not have been the only Titan hero-worship as a god in Atlantis .
Battra
In the 1992 movie , Godzilla vs. Mothra , it was established that long ago an ancient cultivation invented a gimmick that would allow them to fudge the mood . The Earth , act as as a sentient being , created a monster called Battra to penalise the people . Battra , often concern to as " The Black Mothra " , was opposed by his righteous counterpart .
The most notable difference between Battra andMothrais that Mothra is the protector of the people of Earth , while Battra only cares about safeguarding the planet itself . Mothra get the better of Battra , but at a great toll . The Earth was deluge , the civilization was destroy , and was lost evermore .
No one knows what come about to the city that was find inGodzilla : King of the Monsters , but giventhe importance of Mothrato the MonsterVerse , it could be that Mothra ’s backstory is interwoven with Godzilla ’s , especially since they ’re shown to have a symbiotic human relationship . If this is the cause , Mothra ’s puckish opposition Battra could be in the picture as well .
Anguirus
On Twitter , Dougherty responded to a devotee question about extraEaster eggs inGodzilla : King of the Monstersby bring out that a skeleton of a creature who " might or might not be Anguirus " is visible in a individual dig during the scene where Dr. Serizawa travel through Godzilla ’s underwater lair . While this scene does show what looks like a costa cage on the ground , it ’s toilsome to say if it deal any distinguishing characteristics of Anguirus , a monster who resembles a giant ankylosaur .
InGodzilla vs. Gigan , Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla , andDestroys All Monsters , Anguirus was a close ally and companion of Godzilla who struggle alongside him against villains such ask Ghidorahand Gigan . Dougherty ’s comment could suggest that Anguirus is - or was - a part of the MonsterVerse , and may have even co - existed with Godzilla in Atlantis . This would signify that in the past , Godzilla and Anguirus could have partake in the same human relationship that the two had in classic Toho movies . A film that further explores Atlantis could unwrap if Anguirus ' species ever really lived there , or if one of them could still exist .
