I hope that his origin is still tied to the nuclear testing of the 40's and 50's with his existence known to a select few.

Oppenheimer's speech was from 1965. It could easily be used as an admission to the existence of Godzilla and other creatures and their origin due to atomic testing.

I definetely agree. Make Godzilla related to the Japanese or pretty much anything Asian.

^^This, though I think it would be better to connect to something more current.

Frank Darabont did say Godzilla will be connected to a current issue, but I think they can find a way to make a nuclear message more current.

Then they should make it North Korea.

North Korea: Godzilla and maybe a Pulgasari look alike to face off against which is derived from some Korean legend.
Iran: Where the other monster is derived from Zoroastrianism ,particularly a bird of some sort , like Ahura Mazda but evil like.

I've been thinking this for a while, so this is my idea, and what I think will probably and possibly be the origins of Godzilla in Legendary Pictures' film:

Life in certain Japanese Island off to the waters in the Pacific Ocean is very different from any other place on the globe, especially when you have something science hasn't discovered yet. Natives and animals who live on the island have watched and lived alongside a surving, subterranean and marine group of t-rex like dinosaurs, dubbed by the natives: the ''Godzilla'' species. As time and history on Earth passed, the Godzillas have evolved, changed, and transformed over time, moving from a horizontal position to a more vertical and standing straight position. However, they were carnivores and ate every other species, including the natives, on the island and water surrounding it, although their population has lowered a bit every century after century. It wasn't until the 21st Century with the population of this secretive reptiles only having 1 (2 or/and a bit more, if you want a female Godzila and/or a Godzilla family), when North Korean nuclear testings have gone insane nearby the island, mutating this and other living things in the waters and coasts. Mutated, now increased in size very high, the infected Godzilla, alongside 2 other species from the island (the other Monsters), now feeds on Radiation, giving a love and addiction to it, which repays him with sickness that releases it (Atomic Breath). Though if he continues doing this, Godzilla could end up being a Nuclear Bomb himself (Burning Godzilla) and blow up the world himself.

I don't know why but those words gave me an idea. Why don't the natives dub the creature Gojira (gorilla and whale) like the original movie, but the movie gives a reason why it's called that. Whenever the natives see the "marine T-Rex", they see it swim across the water and having a large size reminding them of a whale, but the T-rex has a Gorilla-Like roar, which in turn dubs it Gorilla-Whale, or Gojira. Then the American News and Newspapers just simply change the name to Godzilla to get public attention.
Profit????
By the way, you idea is very good and could fit well into a Trilogy.

Great idea but I would just completely drop the reference to tyrannosaurs. Just have the natives refer to them as ancient sea monster.

That would be pretty cool, actually..

That just modernizes the same origin.

idk, North Korea or Israel creating Godzilla would be alright.

In a way, it would be still be America's and humanity's fault for the UN turning a blind eye to them.
