Plot: The new story follows the heroic efforts of the crypto-zoological agency Monarch as its members face off against a battery of god-sized monsters, including the mighty Godzilla, who collides with Mothra, Rodan, and his ultimate nemesis, the three-headed King Ghidorah. When these ancient super-species—thought to be mere myths—rise again, they all vie for supremacy, leaving humanity’s very existence hanging in the balance.

After a monster $93 million opening, a Godzilla sequel is already in the works.

EXCLUSIVE: After opening to $103M internationally — the biggest opening of 2014 so far — and grossing $93M domestic stateside this weekend, it should come as no surprise that Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros.‘ are already developing a sequel to the monster hit. It was confirmed to Deadline this morning that a Godzilla sequel is underway. The beast is currently stomping across international markets to take No. 1 spots in most territories.

It should come as no surprise that Warner/Legendary would make a new franchise out of anything. That's less a comment on the movie, as those that made it.

 

[Malcolm R]

Isn't every movie these days intended to be part of a trilogy (Hollywood's favorite word)?

Until they take the third movie and split it into two separate movies, that is.

 

[dpippel]

And then later, release extended editions of everything on Blu-ray.

 

[RobertR]

Let's hope we get more of the Big Guy on-screen in the sequel.

Then it flops at the third one and is rebooted 6 years later, Like Sony pictures with Spiderman, same rubbish all over again.

 

[DaveF]

It seems ironic to criticize a studio for making the 33rd Godzilla sequel. Wouldn't they be more worthy of derision for violating the spirit of Godzilla if they *didnt* make another sequel? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godzilla_(franchise)#Filmography

Then it flops at the third one and is rebooted 6 years later, Like Sony pictures with Spiderman, same rubbish all over again.

Or it flops at the first one like the Terminator: Salvation trilogy.

By the way, this film now has the title of Godzilla: King of Monsters and an official release date of March 22, 2019. Maybe @Tino can modify the thread title?

I wish I knew how. There is no option to edit the title.

As the OP, you don't see a "Thread Options" drop down at the top right, above the first post? If not then perhaps it's only available for a short time after the thread is originally posted. You could ask a Mod.

 

[DaveF]

How's that, for thread title?

Movement! EW (yeah, I know) has posted two exclusive first images from the film. One featuring Vera Farmiga and Millie Bobby Brown, and the other of the Big Guy himself using his atomic breath:

Godzilla looks like he's put on a few pounds. Looks like quite a spare tire in that pic.

 

[dpippel]

Could be that he's puffed up to throw out that huge stream of atomic breath.

Who knew that atomic-flame-broiled Muto had so many calories?

Q: What does Godzilla eat?
A: Whatever he wants.

Q: What is another word for Godzilla's dietician?
A: Appetizer
