Godzilla X Kong: Supernova
Theories have been flying about the Monsterverse ’s next baddie since the reveal ofGodzilla X Kong : Supernova ’s title , but one ocular cue in the upcoming film ’s logotype guide straight to a fan - favorite from Godzilla ’s yesteryear . While noexplanation for the " supernova " part of the titlehas yet been discover , the announcement accompanied the flick ’s first footageand a phone number to call , both of which have been thoroughly scoured for touch .
The Monsterverse has blended beloved classic giant with original creations really well through the first six movies ( and one telecasting show ) . However , withGodzilla X Kong : The New Empirefeaturing brand - new villain in Skar King , Shimo , and the Great Apes , the vulgar belief is that a monster from Godzilla ’s Toho days will resurface in the world of Titans . Godzilla X Kong : Supernova ’s title connects to SpaceGodzilla , who was born in a black hole ( the result of a supernova ) , but the actual logo for the movie hints in another , equally - enticing focus .
Godzilla X Kong: Supernova’s Logo Points To Gigan
The Alien Cyborg Is A Well-Established Fan Favorite
The logotype forGodzilla X Kong : Supernovafeatures the familiarGodzilla X Kongfont that has been used before in the Monsterverse ’s promotional materials , but underneath is the large , more stylized word " Supernova " , the letters of which are wreathed in a scarlet - Orange River glow and throwing off what looks like nebulae . Behind the missive roentgen in the utter center of the logotype , however , is a bright scarlet peak of light whose shine supplies the background for the word " Supernova " . For seasoned Godzilla fans , it ’s a utter ringer for the red glow of Gigan ’s visor .
A long - standing theory about the ancient Titan War of the MonsterVerse seems even more plausible thanks to the unexampled movie ’s title .
Gigan is an alien cyborg kaiju who first appeared in the 1972 classicGodzilla vs. Gigan , in which he was presented as the ultimate weapon of the M Space Hunter Nebula Aliens , and deploy to Earth alongside King Ghidorah to help conquer the planet . He is notably capable of supersonic flight , can shoot a laser ray of light out of his forehead , and is underwrite in sharp edges , the most lethal of which is a spin out rotary saw that pop from his torso . Gigan is one of Godzilla ’s most formidable enemies , as he ’s bloody the King of the Monsters on multiple social function .
How Gigan’s Origin Could Be Adapted For The Monsterverse
After Mechagodzilla, Augmented Titans Are On The Table
So far in the Monsterverse , both exotic Titans ( Ghidorah ) and robotic Titans ( Mechagodzilla ) have done conflict with Godzilla and Kong , sothe concept of a cybernetically - enhance Titan would not really be groundbreaking so much as it would be a instinctive procession .
DID YOU KNOW : Gigan in reality appear in early concept art forGodzilla : King of the Monsters , with an original design that stage him as an organic Titan as counterbalance to an alien cyborg .
We ’ve already see Kong himself augment by his B.E.A.S.T. glove , so the notion of an as - yet - unknown Hollow Earth Titan being enhanced for nefarious intention , perhaps by the remnants of Apex Cybernetics is totally plausible . Gigan originate from recondite infinite , so he also fits the Supernova / blank space root of the rubric just as SpaceGodzilla would .
Gigan Is A Better Fit For The Monsterverse Than SpaceGodzilla
Godzilla Has Already Battled An Evil Version Of Himself
In reality , Gigan is actually a better primed than SpaceGodzilla in the current Monsterverse , mostly because he constitute one of Godzilla ’s chief enemies without being another Godzilla clone . SpaceGodzilla is , to put it bluntly ( and perhaps unfairly ) , a copy of Godzilla with some flimsy invention tweaks , far more abilities , and crystals stick out out of his shoulders . As coolheaded of a monster as he is , we just saw Godzilla combat another rendering of himself in Mechagodzilla two movies ago . An updated account and design for SpaceGodzillacould help facilitate that , but Gigan seems like the more coherent and entertaining choice .

Gigan brings something original to the Monsterverse both in intent and ability , particularly if his alien cyborg nature is maintained . He may not have the world - end capability of a monster like SpaceGodzilla , Ghidorah , or Destoroyah , butGigan would be an excellent villain for a Godzilla - centric floor with some lower , but perhaps more well - written , stakes . In place of destroy the Earth or enslaving humanity , Gigan could act as a Titan - killer , necessitate Godzilla to ill-treat up and protect his fellow shielder Titans . Godzilla X Kong : Supernova ’s title of respect points direct to Gigan , and he might be the best potential choice for the pic .
