What Monarch Season 2’s First Look Says About The Monsterverse Series
Apex Cybernetics Will Play A Major Role
Monarch: Legacy of Monstersseason 2will seemingly pick up right where season 1 left off, with the main characters gathered on Skull Island as Kong approaches the Apex facilities.The technology company is best known for creating Mechagodzilla inGodzilla vs. Kong, utilizing King Ghidorah’s skull in order to pilot the robotic Titan. However,the Monsterverse timelineindicates season 2 is taking place in 2017, still two years beforeGodzilla: King of the Monsters, and seven years before the mechanical monster is created.
Kong’s Monsterverse Return Can Finally Make Up For The True Skull Island Sequel That Never Happened
Kong’s upcoming Monsterverse return can finally help make up for the true sequel to 2017’s Kong: Skull Island that never ended up happening.
It’s still unclear what Apex is doing on Skull Island, butit appears their research could tie into how they end up creating Mechagodzilla in the future. Given Godzilla’s feud with Kongs prior to the movies, it makes sense for them to study him in hopes of building something that can defeat him and control all Titans. As for how thecast ofMonarchties in, the show will need to justify what their involvement is, especially given May’s own shaky history with the company.

The Main Cast Will Be Facing Danger On All Sides
Although there’s no word yet on whatMonarch: Legacy of Monsterswill entail, the image hints at Apex’s backstory being the core focus of the upcoming season. This could mean the arrival of other robotic Titans, either preexisting, like Mechani-Kong, or wholly original to the Monsterverse. Either way, the research they conduct in season 2 and the interactions the main cast has with them is bound to set the stage for their inevitable later role in the franchise.
