Godzilla: King of the Monsters

Godzilla 2 is an upcoming 2019 American monster film produced by Legendary Pictures, and the second film in the Legendary Godzilla series.

Development
Gareth Edwards said that he wanted Godzilla (2014) to work as a standalone film with a definitive ending, and opposed suggestions that the ending should leave the film open for a sequel. While Edwards wasn't against the possibility of a sequel, the main reason was that Edwards wanted to deliver a satisfying experience with the first film; "I want a story that begins and ends, and you leave on a high. That's all we cared about when we were making this; just this film. If this film is good, the others can come, but let’s just pay attention to this and not get sidetracked by other things."

On May 18th, 2014, after Godzilla (2014)'s successful opening weekend, a sequel was officially confirmed from Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures. Gareth Edwards has been confirmed to direct Godzilla 2, but it is unknown if any of the previous cast will return. In an interview with Gareth Edwards, he said that if the Godzilla (2014) would have a sequel, then he would like to do a Destroy All Monsters like film.

A teaser for Godzilla 2 was shown in Comic-Con 2014. According to the people who attended, it looked like it was put together in the 1960s, with audio of John F. Kennedy talking about threats and dangers. Text comes on the screen saying that there was one more secret: "There were others." A pterodactyl-like shadow and "CODENAME: RODAN." An extreme close-up of a giant moth creature and "CODENAME: MOTHRA." Then a silhouette and quick cuts around a dragon-like shape figure and "CODENAME: GHIDORAH." Finally, "THREAT ASSESSMENT: CONFLICT INEVITABLE," followed by "LET THEM FIGHT."

On Thursday, August 14, 2014, a release date of June 8, 2018 was set for Godzilla 2.
