We don't need Joe. We have Kong. There's your gorilla.

Rhedo? Maybe as a throwaway monster, but not a main character.

The Gi-Ants would be cool to see again, but I'd rather they avoid remaking the original.

Didn’t we wager THEM! ants are already on Skull Island?

If giant ants are seen, people are going to assume it’s THEM.

The ants actually weren't in the script; it was an improvised line from John C. Reilly. It was obviously well received, though, since it made the film -- and there's no reason why they can't become canon.

That’s interesting, and awesome. One of the best lines of the movie.

Absolutely. Reilly was the glue that held that movie together for me. He was great.

I hope that King Ghidorah's origin is shrouded in mystery. I like to hear fan theories and then like 5 years later we get the real answer.

At most I hope they at least imply he's from space, he's not King Ghidorah without being the space dragon we all grown to known and love unlike say GMK Ghidorah.

The only origin I want from KG is that he's a space monster. I don't want any revisionist history ("HE WAS THE INSPIRATION FOR THE DEVIL!!!!!") or "HE WAS A PREHISTORIC THREE-HEADED PERMIASAURUS" or whatever.

Just give me my space menace.

Other then that yeah I want that too. No need for any backstory except maybe being responsible for a few historic events such as the Permian-Triassic Extinction hence Godzilla's vendetta towards him because as said mystery is good, that's why I like how they never had shown Krampus' face in the 2015 movie it leaves you wondering what he might look like underneath that mask. :)

I have a feeling KG's origin will stay unexplained. I don't think they're ready to introduce aliens into the MonsterVerse yet. I'M ready, but I don't think Legendary is.

Even then as I said, I'd be find with them just implying he's from space but doesn't have to explain outright that he is from it. ;)

As long as King Ghidorah isn't a creation of man like he was in GvKG, I'm good. Space is definitely the best origin, though.

And please, don't make him a mind control bitch again...

Actually if you get deep down into it that King Ghidorah was an carbon-based copy of the real one. The novelization of the movie reveals the Dorats were genetically engineered and created from samples of this King Ghidorah body found on Venus, on top of that there was going to be another King Ghidorah in Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah II where Godzilla would've fought an monster resembling the King Ghidorah he fought a year ago coming from space likely having been the real one the Futurians used DNA of from to create the Dorats.

Head-canon wise too that meteor that Mothra eventually went off into space to stop that's the real King Ghidorah heading for earth, in the continuing Heisei timeline, the real King Ghidorah kills Mothra and reaches earth becoming Godzilla Junior's first true foe.

Feel better now? ;)

"Smark" here. That's true, though. A film is not beholden to stories adapted from it. Supplementary material could help fill in details, but it is subject to change.
