8. Godzilla 2 Officially Announced, New Monsters Revealed
Some of the biggest news to come out of SDCC weren't comic book or superhero related at all. Legendary Pictures made quite the show, and officially announced that Godzilla director Gareth Edwards would be back to direct a sequel, and clued us in on which beasts the giant green lizard would be facing off with next time around. If you were upset about how little the titular beast was in the first film, that looks to be a different story in the sequel, as Godzilla will fight three beloved kaiju: Rodan, Morthra, and King Ghidorah. These classic Godzilla foes are as seminal to the films as Godzilla himself, so it will be great to see them re-imagined by Edwards and brought back to the big screen in all their glory. The film doesn't have an official release date yet, though Legendary plans for it to roar into theaters in 2016. They also have plans for future installments, and promise that other classic Toho monsters will get their time in the limelight.
