Monarch: Legacy Of Monsters Releases Shortly After 2 Godzilla Movies Came To Netflix
Godzilla’s Current Popularity Will Help The Spinoff
Legendary’s Monarch: Legacy of Monster will premiere at the perfect time. The Apple TV+ will be released on November 17, shortly after the last two Godzilla movies — Godzilla vs. Kong and Godzilla: King of the Monsters — were released on Netflix. Although this was not planned and is pure luck for the upcoming series, 2021’s Godzilla vs. Kong is one of the trending movies on Netflix. The series premiering right after the two movies were released online will create the necessary excitement for the upcoming spinoff to succeed.
Monarch: Legacy of Monsters is the second television series in the MonsterVerse after Netflix’s animated show Skull Island. The upcoming series is the first live-action one and will tie into the greater cinematic universe, adding new and recurring Titans to the MonsterVerse. Among them will be Mother Longlegs and Mantleclaw. Endoswarmer is also expected to appear. The MonsterVerse has primarily featured Godzilla and King Kong, starting with 2014’s Godzilla reboot and continuing with Kong: Skull Island, Godzilla: King of the Monsters, Godzilla vs. Kong, and the upcoming Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire.
