10 Things To Look Out For In Monarch: Legacy Of Monsters
8. Bill Randa
One of the highlights from the Monarch: Legacy of Monsters trailer is the return of John Goodman's character from Kong: Skull Island, a senior Monarch official by the name of Bill Randa. Anders Holm will also star as a younger Randa, perhaps working with Shaw during the time of Monarch's earliest endeavours.
It is Randa's voice that you hear at the beginning of the teaser trailer, leaving a prerecorded message (it isn't immediately clear who for, although it could be for Shaw). He talks about leaving a legacy for the future, and given the backdrop behind him he could plausibly be recording this while on Skull Island - not long before he became a skullcrawler's dinner.
You also see Randa later in the trailer apparently running away from some other kind of monster, again possibly on Skull Island or alternatively during one of Monarch's earlier exploratory missions.
In any case, Randa's presence in the new series promises to reveal even more of Monarch's secrets, this time spilled by a known insider. Perhaps best of all, it promises more of Goodman, whose performance in Kong: Skull Island was easily one of that film's strongest elements.
