We have to wait until 2019 for the next installment in Legendary’s MonsterVerse, which will be director Michael Dougherty’s Godzilla: King of the Monsters. The sequel to the 2014 film will further set the stage for Adam Wingard’s Godzilla vs. Kong, already scheduled in for a 2020 release.
This year’s Kong: Skull Island hits DVD and Blu-ray in a couple weeks, and a new video posted on the film’s official Twitter account today has gotten a lot of people talking.
The video presents a timeline of events in the MonsterVerse, beginning with the 1973 events of Skull Island. It also touches upon a return mission to the monster-infested locale in 1995, a reference to the events of canonical comic series Skull Island: The Birth of Kong.
The timeline video then focuses on 1991, when “a covert Monarch team established a quarantine zone around a dormant volcano in Isle de Mona, under the guise of environmental research.” The video continues, “Over the coming years, what began as a small scientific outpost will expand to become a full containment facility around the mouth of the volcano.”
What’s most interesting about this entry in the timeline is that it seems to tease the impending arrival of Rodan. After all, Rodan is known to live inside of a volcano, so it makes sense that this scientific outpost eventually “becomes a full containment facility around the mouth of the volcano.” To contain Rodan, it would seem.
As we already know, Rodan will be featured in Godzilla: King of the Monsters.
