Any who, due to the new Godzilla's well earned success in the box office, Legendary has already green lit a sequel, and though we know not what it may ultimately be about, its probably safe to assume it will involve Godzilla and more monsters lol. Edwards has said in interviews that he'd like to do something involving Monster Island or something similar to Destroy All Monsters, and apparently Legendary acquired the rights to several Toho kaiju, we just don't know which ones yet...Couldn't get more mysterious than if the Mysterians themselves were involved!
That being said, which Toho monsters do you think should appear in the next Godzilla film? And which should be saved for later sequels?
Personally, considering how well the new origins for Godzilla & the M.U.T.O. were set up in the latest film, I'd prefer it if Legendary used earthly monsters first, since pretty much every prehistoric beast or nuclear mutant from the original Toho series can now be explained/reintroduced as creatures stemming back to the same bygone age as Godzilla, either sleeping deep beneath the earth or under the sea all this time to access earth's natural radiation. Creatures with more bizarre or complicated origins should be saved for later (so the films have a way to up the ante once Godzilla's beaten all his natural born earthly rivals), that means mutants, robots, mystical beasts, and alien lifeforms. This is assuming they end up trying to do an ongoing series/franchise rather than merely a trilogy or something...Personally, I'd look forward to a new Godzilla movie coming out every other summer in place of more bad films based off beloved cartoons from the 80s & early 90s like the Bayformer films >_<
For Godzilla II or whatever the title will ultimately be, I'd like to see any of the following...
1) Rodan: A member of the famous four who hasn't been given a turn in the spotlight recently, i.e. hasn't been overused to death like Mothra or King Ghidorah. Plus, at his best Rodan is a truly worthy foe for Godzilla, physically powerful, airborne and fast, & can withstand Godzilla's atomic breath, so he'd make a great main opponent for a new film.
2) Anguirus: Gotta love that spiky persistent saurian badass, would love to see him in CGI, and I think American audiences would respond well to his design.
3) Titanosaurus: A long shot perhaps given his obscurity, but he's a strong fighter and can fight Godzilla on land or sea, and god knows I've been wanting to see a good underwater fight scene between Godzilla & another monster for ages.
4) Baragon: Okay, okay, at his usual size and power levels Baragon wouldn't be much of a threat to the Big G, at most he'd be a means by which to show off how big and strong Godzilla is by comparison (give Goji something to hunt lol), HOWEVER, Baragon IS a confirmed man-eater so scenes with him could be gruesome, and if he were increased in size and stature the same way many Godzilla foes, including King Kong, have been in the past, he could go from being a lesser kaiju to a proper rival for Godzilla to overcome (especially if they both had firepower to match). In a way it be kinda appropriate for a monster of the sea to challenge a monster of the land, poetic even.
5) Varan: Another obscure but cool kaiju I think audiences would enjoy, certainly looks like a creature who'd share the same environment as Godzilla & stem from the same time period. Dude's been screwed over so many times in the past, could be neat to finally seen him get an active role in film, even if its just one battle rather than being the primary antagonist kaiju.
Honorable Mentions: Biollante, cuz why the hell not? She's awesome! And her tendrils would provide a unique means by which to menace civilians as a friend on DA pointed out to me, choking up sewers and subways with her roots and vines etc. Granted however, I'll admit she may be best saved for later if they ever get around to genetic mutations after naturally occurring kaiju like the new Godzilla, but if people could overlook the Goji hybrid origins she could make a cool creature even without G-Cells inside her, maybe the threat of her seeds spreading or her roots contaminating the soil with radiation being a major threat (or possibly serve as a means to terraform a stable habitat for Godzilla & the others to live on, a new Monster Island with her as its "World Tree" as it were, the heart of the island if you will).
