It’s safe to say that Godzilla vs. Kong is a smash hit, or as least as big of a hit as it could be given the circumstances. People turned out or tuned in en masse to see the King of the Monsters take on the King of Skull Island, and now the floodgates are open for other films from Godzilla’s catalog to be adapted. To that end, here are five MonsterVerse films that should follow Godzilla vs. Kong.
Godzilla vs. Gigan
With King Kong now thoroughly established as a frenemy, there aren’t many Titans who would take on Godzilla. That’s why adapting Godzilla vs. Gigan would be the perfect way to open up a new stable of challengers.
In the original film, this alien cyborg kaiju is brought to earth in an invasion attempt by the M Space Hunter Nebula Aliens. Once the top monster of his own planet, he doesn’t take kindly to encountering Godzilla, and the two fight to see who will be the ruler of Earth.
A decidedly more sci-fi-inspired film than anything seen in the current Godzilla series, this movie would be great for further embracing the wacky and chaotic elements of Godzilla’s later films. Things like jumping through a hole going all the way through the earth would become commonplace, and the introduction of a cyborg kaiju would open up the possibility for bringing back most any defeated foe for a rematch.
