At a minimum I'd expect more Kong films. I don't know about Godzilla. Rights notwithstanding, I don't think those first two Godzilla films were as successful as the producers had hoped. With the addition of Kong, the third may end up making more.
I think a major reason we got Godzilla vs. Kong...
You probably don't even need to watch the first Godzilla (2014), as it's largely a stand-alone film. Most of the lead characters are different in King of the Monsters. There's not really much of a connection between the two films that cannot be gleaned just from watching the second.
That's just a cheap cop out based on a toss-away line that was probably ad-libbed by John C. Reilly. Growth of 250 feet in 50 years seems unlikely.
Not to mention, Skull Island showed us the skeletal remains of Kong's presumably mature adult parents and they were basically the same size as Kong...
I'll be waiting to see how they explain them being roughly the same size. In the first films, I think Godzilla was portrayed as nearly 4x taller than Kong (355 ft vs. 104 ft).
I wish Warner would put out an extended edition of Kong: Skull Island. Reports are that the first cut was over 3 hours...
I always thought it was kind of ridiculous to release the sequels less than a year apart. Plus, audiences weren't that thrilled with the last one, so some additional distance is probably good.
Plus it would be coming out around the same time as another monster/sci-fi flick, Monster Problems...
Anyone else think that less than a year between these two releases might be too quick? Unless this is actually set up somehow to be one long story/film that's cut into two parts.
I'm also still not sure how the "VS." is going to work. Both are generally the heroes/good guys of their pictures...
I doubt anyone is going to this film for the human "stars". It's just hilarious that they're calling this a star-studded cast considering the names they've listed.
It reads more like a season cast list for "Dancing With The Stars" (which is also a misnomer, most of the time). ;)
I'm sure no one involved in production has even considered this. Someone just said, "Why don't we make a KK vs. Godzilla film?" and there was a "cha ching!" sound when the eyeballs of the rest of the people in the conference room rolled up into $$-signs like in a Looney Tunes short.
