Legendary‘s upcoming MonsterVerse is getting its second entry in just a few weeks with Kong: Skull Island, and as shared cinematic universes are want to do, it would appear the film has a post-credit scene setting up the next chapter, Godzilla: King of the Monsters.

Adding fuel to the speculative fire, the full credits for “Skull Island” have been released online (via Scified/SciFi Japan) and includes the interesting credit of “‘Godzilla,’ ‘King Ghidorah,’ ‘Mothra’ and ‘Rodan’ created and owned by Toho Co., Ltd.”
It seems doubtful that a full teaser trailer for the upcoming film will be revealed with full shots of the monsters. What is possible is that Legendary will include a modified version of the Godzilla 2 teaser trailer from San Diego Comic-Con 2014, which read “Classified Monarch information…There is still one secret that remains hidden…There are others,” followed by silhouetted title cards that read “Codename: Rodan,” “Codename: Mothra,” and “Codename: Ghidorah.” The teaser concluded with “Monarch Assessment: Conflict Imminent,” followed by the words “Let them fight!”
Godzilla: King of the Monsters will be released on March 22, 2019 and is set to star Stranger Things breakout Millie Bobby Brown. The sequel will be written by Michael Dougherty (Trick ‘r Treat, Krampus) and Zach Shields, with Dougherty set to direct.
Kong: Skull Island is due out in theaters on March 10, 2017, with a Godzilla vs King Kong feature (a rematch of the first time the pair collided in 1962) set for a May 29, 2020 release.
