Gareth Edwards, the director of 'Godzilla 1' was not present physically at the announcement event, but he managed to rise the expectations of the fans by appearing via video from San Francisco. Since he was signed up with a big flick, many speculated that he would not return to the budding monster series. However, his video message set things right. It seems like three new monsters, "the giant pteranodon kaiju Rodan, the giant divine moth kaiju Mothra and the three-headed dragon kaiju Ghidorah," are set to make their entry in this next 'Godzilla' franchise installment.
Gareth Edwards is currently busy directing a 'Star Wars' spinoff for Lucas film and Disney, which has a release date of December 16, 2016. Sources say that he will return to 'Godzilla 2' after the completion of his current project.
Toho Co, the company that owns the rights to the character, has given permission to Legendary Entertainment to use three of its popular monsters and to produce sequels. Following this, Legendary Entertainment has rolled out its teaser that says, "there are others."
It is expected that the sequel will relay on back-story, and additionally, Legendary Entertainments has also announced another prequel to the movie 'King Kong'.
The movie dates and the cast and crew for 'Godzilla 2' have not yet been officially announced. On a positive note, it seems like fans might get to see a 'King Kong vs. Godzilla' film in the future.
