10 Things To Look Out For In Monarch: Legacy Of Monsters

Even with the Shaw name filling in some of the blanks, Monarch's earliest days are suitably shaded in mystery. Joint military programs don't just appear overnight, even if that is how it appears to the outside world.

Given what Monarch claim to be experts in doing, it seems fair to say that they would have been met with a fair dose of skepticism. This is potentially a reason why the organisation is almost bankrupt at the beginning of Kong: Skull Island.

"Hopes, dreams, ambitions... the mission was to protect their world, and ours." Shaw provides a straightforward enough summary of Monarch's objectives, but fans of the MonsterVerse know that this has proved to be anything but simple. Before they became publicised and politicised in Godzilla: King of the Monsters, what forces operated behind the scenes that made Monarch's stated goal that more complicated to achieve?

A smorgasbord of redacted files and documents seen midway through the trailer promises the biggest expose yet on what makes Monarch tick. The upside of a TV series rather than a film is that there will be even more time to dive deep into the details, leaving no stone unturned in the search for answers.
