And yes, we are dead serious. Mothra is coming back to the MonsterVerse, and if that isn’t worth celebrating, then nothing is.
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire combed through a ton of footage in its new chapter, but fans were caught up with a shot featuring Jia. The young girl will appear in the film as Dr. Ilene Andrews (Rebecca Hall) continues to care for her. In this new movie, it seems Jia’s innate tie to the MUTO is acting up, and she is seen having a vision at one point. It is there fans spotted Mothra as a reflection of the giant moth appears as a reflection in Jia’s eye.
In the context of the trailer, Jia’s vision seems to be foretelling the future, so it is telling Mothra shows up. The beloved kaiju hasn’t been seen in the MonsterVerse since Godzilla: King of the Monsters, so we are due with her return. The series even teased the character’s comeback a few years back, so it is time for the Mothra cliffhanger to pay off.
Of course, the character Mothra has a long history of reincarnation. In her time, Mothra has taken on tons of forms, and Jia’s vision suggests the divine titan is ready to enter a new era. After all, Kong and Godzilla are going to need all the help they can get against Shimo. So if Mothra can help Godzilla take down Ghidorah, well – we think Mother Mothra can handle this.
We will find out more about Mothra’s comeback when Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire goes live in theaters. The movie will premiere on March 29th. So for more information on the MonsterVerse entry, you can read its official synopsis below:
