In the latest episode of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, fans were treated to a surprising appearance from none other than Godzilla himself! Episode 6, aptly titled 'Terrifying Miracles,' took us on a thrilling journey through both the 1955 and 2015 storylines, revealing the return of the iconic Titan.
The episode begins with Bill Randa, played by the talented Anders Holm, alongside Keiko, portrayed by Mari Yamamoto, and Lee Shaw, played by the wonderful Wyatt Russell. They learn about a device created by Japanese scientist Suzuki, capable of summoning Titans. After several unsuccessful attempts to attract any monstrous attention, just when all hope seems lost, Godzilla makes an unexpected entrance.
Anders Holm, in an exclusive interview with Screen Rant, shared his experience filming the scene with Godzilla. He humorously explained how challenging it can be to act when you're essentially staring at nothing but water, trying to gauge whether the mighty creature is 100 feet away or a mere 2,000 feet. The mix of fear, excitement, and curiosity in his character's mind about how Godzilla survived being nuked in episode 3 becomes all the more intriguing.
While Keiko and Shaw had their first intense interactions with a MUTO in episode 2, Godzilla holds the key to Monarch's founding in Monarch: Legacy of Monsters. The discovery of Godzilla's footprint quickly establishes a connection between him and radiation, leading the trio to utilize uranium for luring him out and conducting further research. However, their plans take a dramatic turn when the Army attempts to nuke Godzilla, inadvertently revealing his survival.
Amidst acknowledging the immense danger Godzilla poses, Keiko, Shaw, and Randa recognize the potential for the Titan to become a helpful figure in human history. Keiko especially, devastated by the thought of Godzilla's demise, finds solace in his unexpected revival. This aligns with Monarch's earlier goal of protecting humanity and fostering a brighter future, as depicted in Kong: Skull Island, the precursor to Monarch: Legacy of Monsters.
Episode 7 highlights a significant development as Monarch finally goes public with its existence, hinting at a potential return to their scientific research-focused roots showcased in Godzilla vs. Kong. As the series delves deeper into Monarch's enigmatic history, it raises questions about the organization's path to darkness and whether Godzilla will play a continuing role in the past storylines.
