The sequel to this year’s “Godzilla” will pit the legendary monster against Rodan, Mothra, and King Ghidorah.
Director Gareth Edwards – unable to be there because he’s working on the next instalment in the “Star Wars” saga – appeared via video, said footage also containing the big sequel reveal.
Here’s Collider’s description :
Legendary Pictures CEO Thomas Tull took the stage, and then introduced a video message from Gareth Edwards. Edwards said he wished he could be with us, but he was directing the rebuilding of the Golden Gate Bridge, and also working on an independent sci-fi movie called Star Wars something-or-other. However, he did want to directly say “Thank You” to the fans since sometimes these journeys really do begin in Hall H.
And so does the next step in that journey. We were then showed a new piece of “Classified Monarch Footage”. The teaser is made to look like it was put together in the 1960s and has audio of John F. Kennedy talking about threats and dangers. Then text comes on the screen saying that there was one more secret: “There were others.” Then we get a shadow of a pterodactyl:
“CODENAME: RODAN”
Then we get an extreme close-up of a giant moth creature:
“CODENAME: MOTHRA”
Then a silhouette and quick cuts around a dragon figure:
“CODENAME: GHIDORAH”
And then we get the text: “THREAT ASSESSMENT: CONFLICT INEVITABLE.” Followed by: “LET THEM FIGHT.”
No word on whether Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Elizabeth Olsen will reprise their roles for the sequel.
