‘Godzilla 2’ in 2018: Four Monsters, Four Years To Wait

It was inevitable, and I’m so glad it’s official. According to The Wrap, Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros. have revealed that the previously announced “Godzilla” sequel will drop on June 8th, 2018 and it will feature Godzilla punching the crap out of Mothra, Rodan, and Ghidora. Or so they said at Comic-Con a few weeks ago.

Director Gareth Edwards is confirmed to return, but he wants “a break from all pressure of doing a major franchise with all fanboy opinions that go with that.” I don’t blame him, before Godzilla he did one little movie before stepping up to the big leagues. Anyone would be exhausted.

The first movie did well financially to ensure a new franchise for Warner Bros. It starred Bryan Cranston, a jacked Aaron Taylor-Johnston, and Elizabeth Olson, but it is unknown at the moment if any of them are to return.

You may look at 2018 and think, “Oh, that’s not too long of a wait,” but keep in mind that 2018 is four years from now. Where were you four years ago? I was sitting in the theater for Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. I also couldn’t legally drink. It’s a little absurd that a sequel can be announced this long in advance, right? Or am I just crazy?

What do you hope to see in the sequel? How much did you enjoy this year’s film?
