## Release chronology

"*Long live the king.*"
―film's tagline
***Godzilla II*** (also known as ***Godzilla: King of the Monsters*** in some countries) is a 2018 disaster monster film based on the Toho kaiju of the same name. A sequel to *Godzilla*, it is the 3rd installment of the MonsterVerse. It was released on July 14, 2018.

The film is followed by sequels *Godzilla vs. Kong*, *Godzilla: Final Awakening*, and *Destroy All Monsters*. The film is also followed by spin-offs *Rodan: Infestation* and *Mothra and the Dark Divine*.

The film introduces Mothra, Rodan, King Ghidorah, Behemoth, Scylla, Quetzalcoatl, Wukong, Crimson MUTO, Aqrabuamelu, and Shahmaran into the MonsterVerse.

Drukr, Baphomet, Tiamat, Gorgon, Typhon, Grootslang, and Amhuluk appears off-screen, and fully grown Kong appears in the mid-credits scene.

## Synopsis

Basically the same as the real movie with some changes:

* No advanced technology like the force field at Mothra's outpost and underwater base, Monarch's base is gonna be coastal instead.
* Mothra's outpost is on Infant Island in Indonesia instead of China.
* Rodan's volcano is in Guatemala instead of Mexico.
* Rodan, Behemoth, Quetzalcoatl, Wukong, Scylla, and the Crimson MUTO bows to King Ghidorah at the volcano and destroys the city surrounding the volcano at Ghidorah's command. They bow upon Godzilla at the end of the film.
* Godzilla never turns into his thermonuclear form and instead mutilates Ghidorah with his red spiral beam he got from Mothra's lifeforce (Ghidorah's middle head is also cut off \*wink wink\*Mecha-King Ghidorah\*wink wink\*).
* Alan Jonah is a disguised Xilien, one of the news clippings in the end credits tell the mysterious disappearance of Ghidorah's corpse after Boston was revisited after the battle (the Xiliens took it).
* The closing credits will show a grown up Kong beating his chest and roaring at the camera.
* No mid or post credits scenes.
