Godzilla’s Opponents Revealed In Posters For King of the Monsters

Director Mike Dougherty has revealed three new posters for Godzilla: King of the Monsters that show off the other kaiju that will appear in the film: King Ghidorah, Mothra and Rodan. The monster-filled sequel will be released on May 31, 2019. It was directed by Dougherty from a script he wrote with Zach Shields. It stars Vera Farmiga, Ken Watanabe, Sally Hawkins, Kyle Chandler, Millie Bobby Brown, Bradley Whitford, Thomas Middleditch, Charles Dance, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Aisha Hinds and Zhang Ziyi. It’s produced by Alexandra Mendes, Mary Parent, Alex Garcia, Brian Rogers and Thomas Tull, with Barry H. Waldman, Zach Shields, Yoshimitsu Banno and Kenji Okuhira executive producing.

Here’s a synopsis: The new story follows the heroic efforts of the crypto-zoological agency Monarch as its members face off against a battery of god-sized monsters, including the mighty Godzilla, who collides with Mothra, Rodan, and his ultimate nemesis, the three-headed King Ghidorah. When these ancient super-species—thought to be mere myths—rise again, they all vie for supremacy, leaving humanity’s very existence hanging in the balance.

“Then from the smoke came locusts on the earth, and they were given power like the power of scorpions over the earth. They were told not to harm the grass or any green growth or any tree, but only those of mankind.” pic.twitter.com/3NKm1QGfbP

“They have as king over them, the angel of the Abyss. A star fallen from heaven to earth, he opened the shaft of the bottomless pit, and from the shaft rose smoke like that of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened…” pic.twitter.com/g0V1DjXbCG
