GODZILLA AND THE TITANS Series Gets First Look Photos and a New Title MONARCH: LEGACY OF MONSTERS
Apple TV+ has announced that the new title of its Godzilla and the Titans series is Monarch: Legacy of Monsters. They also shared a few photos offering us a first look at Godzilla in destructive action and a few of the main characters.
This show is part of Legendary’s Monsterverse franchise, and I just have to say that the original title of Godzilla and the Titans is a much better title than the new one they announced. I’m not sure why they changed it.
The series is set in the same universe Godzilla, Kong: Skull Island, Godzilla: King of the Monsters, Godzilla vs. Kong, and the upcoming sequel Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire.
Spanning three generations, the series follows “the thunderous battle between Godzilla and the Titans that leveled San Francisco and tracks two siblings following in their father’s footsteps to uncover their family’s connection to the secretive organization known as Monarch.”
It’s explained that “Clues lead them into the world of monsters and ultimately down the rabbit hole to Army officer Lee Shaw (played by Kurt Russell and Wyatt Russell), taking place in the 1950s and half a century later where Monarch is threatened by what Shaw knows.”
The series was developed by Chris Black and Matt Fraction, and Matt Shakman (WandaVision, Fantastic Four) directed the first two episodes. All three of the are also executive producers. Additionally, Hiro Matsuoka and Takemasa Arita executive produce on behalf of Toho Co., Ltd., the owner of the Godzilla character.
The cast also includes Anna Sawai (Pachinko), Ren Watabe (461 Days of Bento), Kiersey Clemons (Hearts Beat Loud), Joe Tippett (Mare of Easttown), Anders Holm (The Mindy Project), and Elisa Lasowski.
Are you excited about this series?!
