A new Titan emerges in Monarch: Legacy of Monsters S2 teaser
It's looking to be a solid year for kaiju fans. Not only are we getting Godzilla Minus Zero in November-sequel to the critically acclaimed Godzilla Minus One (2023)-but Apple TV just released a teaser for the second season of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, part of Legendary Entertainment's MonsterVerse, which brought Godzilla, King Kong, and various other monsters (kaiju) created by Toho Co., Ltd into the same fold.
(Spoilers for S1 below.)
The first season picked up where 2014's Godzilla left off, specifically the introduction ofProject Monarch, a secret organization established in the 1950s to study Godzilla and other kaiju-after attempts to kill Godzilla with nuclear weapons failed. The plot spans three generations and takes place in the 1950s and half a century later. In the first season, two siblings (Kate and Kentaro Randa) follow in their father's footsteps to uncover their family's connection to the secretive organization known as Monarch. Naturally, they find themselves in the world of monsters and discover Army officer Lee Shaw (Kurt Russell), a longtime family ally.
