Trailer For MONARCH: LEGACY OF MONSTERS Season 2 Unleashes Something Way Worse Than Kong or Godzilla
Move over, Godzilla. Step aside, Kong. The MonsterVerse just dropped a new nightmare into the mix, and it looks like nobody is ready for it. A new trailer for Monarch: Legacy of Monsters Season 2 is here, and it wastes no energy reminding us that the balance of power has shifted.
Set to the wonderfully ominous track “I’ve Just Destroyed the World,” the footage jumps forward from where season one ended, with years having passed inside the Hollow Earth and the fallout from past decisions spiraling fast. What starts near Skull Island quickly snowballs into something much bigger and far more dangerous.
At the center of the chaos is a brand-new Titan, an amphibious behemoth ominously referred to as Titan X. One voiceover calls it “like a god.”. This thing is massive, otherworldly, and terrifying enough that even the likes of Godzilla and King Kong look outmatched for once. Titan X seems to ripple across timelines, leaving destruction in more than one era.
Kurt Russell returning as the older Lee Shaw, Russell’s character cuts straight to the point saying: “To destroy a monster, it takes another monster.”
The solution is exactly what fans are hoping for. Godzilla and Kong. Eternal rivals. Uncomfortable allies. Monstrous frenemies who have never truly been on the same page. Season 2 looks ready to force that partnership in a big way as Titan X pushes the world, and possibly time itself, to the brink.
Producer Tory Tunnell recently teased the creature in an interview with SFX magazine, teasing that this Titan is meant to feel different from anything we’ve seen before.
Tunnell said, “It's really exciting to launch a new monster here, and with [VFX supervisor] Sean [Konrad's] collaboration, it feels dynamic and exciting and something we haven't seen before,” before detailing how much of the inspiration for the aquatic monster stemmed from real-world undersea terrors. We don't think we'll be going for a swim anytime soon…
Titan X moves like something born in the darkest parts of the ocean, ancient and angry, and the trailer leans hard into that primal fear. The MonsterVerse has always thrived when it taps into nature pushing back, and Season 2 looks ready to crank that idea up to a whole new level.
Monarch: Legacy of Monsters Season 2 begins streaming on February 27.
