Vorlage:Infobox film

The MonsterVerse[1] is an American media franchise and shared fictional cinematic universe that is centered on a series of monster films featuring Godzilla and King Kong, distributed by Warner Bros. and produced by Legendary Entertainment in partnership with Toho (Godzilla series). The first installment was Godzilla (2014), a reboot of the Godzilla franchise. The next film to be released will be Kong: Skull Island (2017), a reboot of the King Kong franchise, followed by Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019) and Godzilla vs. Kong (2020).

Development

Legendary Entertainment confirmed at the July 2014 San Diego Comic-Con International that it had acquired the rights to Mothra, Rodan, and King Ghidorah from Toho and revealed concept footage with the closing title cards reading "Conflict: inevitable. Let them fight".[2] In September 2015, Legendary announced that the film Kong: Skull Island would not be developed with Universal Studios. Instead, it would be developed with Warner Bros., which sparked media speculation that Godzilla and King Kong would appear in a film together.[3][4]

In October 2015, Legendary announced plans to unite Godzilla and King Kong in a film titled Godzilla vs. Kong, set for a 2020 release date. Legendary plans to create a shared cinematic franchise "centered around Monarch" (the secret government agency which debuted in 2014's Godzilla) and that "brings together Godzilla and Legendary’s King Kong in an ecosystem of other giant super-species, both classic and new". While Legendary will maintain its home at Universal, it will continue to collaborate with Warner Bros. for the franchise.[5] Later in October, it was announced that Kong: Skull Island will have references to Monarch.[6]

In May 2016, Warner Bros. announced that Godzilla vs. Kong would be released on May 29, 2020, and that Godzilla: King of the Monsters would be pushed back from its original June 2018 release date to March 22, 2019.[7] In October 2016, Legendary announced that Godzilla: King of the Monsters would be filmed at its parent company Wanda's Qingdao Movie Metropolis facility in China, along with Pacific Rim: Uprising.[8] That same month, it was revealed that Legendary is potentially planning a writers room to create their Godzilla–Kong cinematic universe, with Alex Garcia overseeing the project for Legendary.[9]

In early January 2017, it was reported that Thomas Tull (who founded Legendary Entertainment) resigned from the company but will remain as producer for Legendary's Godzilla and King Kong film series, which was revealed to be officially titled MonsterVerse.[10]
