The path of the MonsterVerse thus far had been pointing Godzilla and Kong at one another for the climactic final fight seen in Godzilla vs. Kong, and while there is a definitive winner between the two there is also the potential to explore this massive universe in a new way. The finale of the film essentially confirms that there will be two different planes of existence for the Titans going forward as Godzilla and Kong have gone on to command their own domains.
This leaves some room for all kinds of new adventures in either the Hollow Earth (which finally makes its full MonsterVerse debut in Godzilla vs. Kong) or with the human world. These two distinct directions do leave some room for a potential MonsterVerse future, but at the same time, the film also comes to the kind of conclusion that could act as an overall finale for Legendary’s MonsterVerse experiment without many issues.
But if there’s the demand for it, it could potentially happen with sequels or spin-offs! What do you think? Do you want to see the MonsterVerse continue? Which Titan would you want to see carry the crown of the franchise from now on? What kind of fights would you want to see happen?
