A sixth installment in Legendary’s 10-years-strong Monsterverse is in the works, and Warner Bros. has provided us with a release date this afternoon: March 26, 2027. Yes, 2027.
The wait is long. But have no fear, as the television series “Monarch: Legacy of Monsters” has been renewed for a second season, so that will likely come along a bit earlier to tide us over.
Grant Sputore (I Am Mother) will direct the upcoming sixth movie, with Dave Callaham (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings) on board to write the screenplay.
Beginning with the Godzilla film in 2014 and continuing through 2017’s Kong: Skull Island, 2019’s Godzilla: King of the Monsters, 2021’s Godzilla vs. Kong, and most recently the record-breaking Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, the Monsterverse has accumulated over $2B at the global box office and expanded into the highly successful event series, Legendary’s Monarch: Legacy of Monsters for Apple TV+. In addition to the aforementioned second season of “Monarch,” more Monsterverse spinoff shows are being planned at Apple TV+.
“Apple TV+ has struck a new multi-series deal with Legendary Entertainment, which includes multiple spinoff series based on the franchise,” the recent press release had stated.
