Taking a cue from the success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the superhero genre, the kaiju genre has recently decided to embrace the idea of interconnectivity with the release of Gareth Edwards’ Godzilla.
That was followed by the release of Kong: Skull Island earlier this year, and it will culminate in 2020 when Godzilla and King Kong finally throw down in the long-awaited Godzilla vs. Kong.
It’s clear that Godzilla has a silver screen legacy that can rival just about any other movie character, and it looks like that’s only going to become more prominent in the coming years.
