After stomping through theaters again in 2021's Godzilla vs. Kong, the King of the Monsters is trying to conquer streaming as well. Back in January, Apple TV+ announced that a live-action Godzilla series was in development. Today, we have a few more details, as WandaVision director Matt Shakman has signed on to direct part of the series.
Shakman will direct the first two episodes and serve as executive producer. We still don't have a full title for the show, which Apple TV+ refers to as Godzilla and the Titans while also still calling it the "untitled Monsterverse series."
The show follows the events of 2014's Godzilla, where Godzilla and the MUTOs met in San Francisco for a massive battle. One family will have to dive into its past to uncover its secret connection to the global organization known as Monarch. The series is co-created by Chris Black, a writer on Star Trek: Enterprise and Outcast, and Matt Fraction, writer of comics like Hawkeye, The Defenders, and Sex Criminals. Black will also serve as the showrunner for the series.
The untitled Apple TV+ series isn't the only upcoming entry in Legendary's Monsterverse. Last week, Legendary tapped Dan Stevens as the star of the Godzilla vs. Kong sequel film. According to Deadline, Godzilla vs. Kong director Adam Wingard will be returning for the sequel, with production beginning this summer in Australia.
There's also the animated series Skull Island, which is being produced for Netflix. Powerhouse Animation, the studio behind other Netflix animated shows like Castlevania, Blood of Zeus, and Masters of the Universe: Revelation, is handling the show. Similar to the film Kong: Skull Island, the show will focus on a crew shipwrecked on the legendary island.
Neither Skull Island, the Godzilla vs. Kong sequel, nor the live-action Godzilla series have any sort of release window. So there's a bright future for Godzilla and King Kong fans, we just don't know when that future is going to be realized.
