Akira Ifukube
Wingard felt it was "insincere" to repurpose the themes by Akira Ifukube because he associated them with Toho's Godzilla. Instead, Wingard wished to go in a different direction to create themes that were unique to the "MonsterVerse's" Godzilla, while paying homage to its influences. Holkenborg wanted to create a Godzilla theme that "lived and breathe" the history behind monster themes. Lower brass and big tympanis were used to emphasize the power of Godzilla. Holkenborg wanted Godzilla's theme to be slow and sluggish to reflect Godzilla.
