The MUTO Theory

why does everyone say that was a centapede? it had hands, fingers, and clearly reaptillan skin as well as tail. also, if you look closer, it apears to be 2 different creatures, not one overly long one.

That centipede looked more like a mutated waterbear or an armadillo :D

Personally I thought it looked a lot like a Behir.

Oh my god, GARETH ONLY SECURED RIGHTS FOR GODZILLA! I DO NOT THINK HE WOULD SECURE THE RIGHTS TO OTHER MONSTERS IF HE WANTED A SEQUEL! GHIDORAH AND MOTHRA ARE NOT VERY REALISTIC! Now don't get me wrong, because I do like Ghidorah and Mothra, but I do not think they could be realistic. I mean, a giant 3-headed dragon that shoots gravity beams? And a giant butterfly that shoots energy bolts?

Ghidorah and Mothra aren't realistic but Godzilla is?

you just have to make there origins realistic. any way i think your theory is kind of cool

kaiju origins as well as the kaiju themselves can never be realistic. however, you can make the human reaction realistic. what would the world do if kaiju really appeared? that is where realism will come in with the new movie. thincking that the monsters themselves and/or their origins will be realistic is really quite UNREALISTIC

@CoolGodzilla1234 I never said the other Kaiju would appear in THIS ONE, but it's possible they could appear in a sequel. Also, they could just be a bunch of brand new Kaiju, too, with just slight tiny references to Toho's Kaiju like possibly the name "PROJECT GHIDORAH" appearing on a computer screen every now and then.

mmmmm good theory

Toho monsters will NOT be appearing in this franchise.

A reboot, be definition, ignores ALL previous content and continuity for the purpose of reinventing its characters, storyline, etc,.

Having Dr. Serizawa is already a big deviation and something of a risky move. However, given that he's so closely associated with Godzilla I can see why they'd bring him back even if his character is not the same as it was in the 50's version. No eye patch, no oxygen destroyer, an entirely new version of the character.

Still, Toho monsters are Toho monsters. They are not Legendary monsters. Legendary must acquire rights to EACH monster in the Toho lineup if they want to use them in their movies, and that would get crazy expensive especially if this first movie does well enough.

Another reason it's not going to happen is because Toho is not actually a part of this production. They own Godzilla, they do not own Legendary's story, its human characters, nor any other part of the feature except the monster known as Godzilla. All other Toho monsters should stay with Toho and in their original forms. Bringing them to the screen in CG just to please a few fans that want to see updated versions of them is not something Legendary is going to do, nor should they.

As I said, Toho monsters are Toho monsters. All of them: King Ghidorah, Mothra, Gigan, Anguirus, Destoroyah, Biollante, Spacegodzilla, Mechagodzilla... ALL Toho monsters belong in their original Toho forms and should NOT be used in Legendary's franchise.

This is a new version of Godzilla. A new story. A new universe centered around the creature. Bringing back Toho monsters just because a few fans want to see them would be contrived, irresponsible, and downright lackluster on the part of Legendary. If they can't create and maintain their own version of the creature without falling back on Toho for support, then they don't deserve to make the franchise in the first place.

No other Toho monsters besides Godzilla himself belong in Legendary's new franchise.

No extraterrestrials, no Toho kaijus...

M.U.T.O will be a secret research organization, maybe involving several different governments. They'll be researching those giant sinkholes, like the actual one in Turkmenistan, which has been named "The Doorway To Hell"...

I get the impression that new lifeforms are discovered in these, or that the project itself is genetically experimenting on whatever they've found there...

Once again, I NEVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT BEING 100% SURE THAT TOHO KAIJU WILL BE IN THIS. I SAID MAYBE.

It's a possibility, even though I know it's very very unlikely.

You can't just say "Oh, it's a reboot, that automatically means there is 100% no possibility whatsoever of any Toho Kaiju ever appearing in this series at all".
