A dead character from Kong: Skull Island returns in a mysterious new video promoting Monarch: Legacy of Monsters. The new Monsterverse TV shows focuses on Cate Randa, a survivor of Godzilla's battle with the MUTOs in San Francisco. She begins to uncover secrets surrounding the government agency Monarch with the help of Lee Shaw, whose own experiences are a key element in the story.
Now, Monarch has released a video of John Goodman's Bill Randa from Kong: Skull Island sending a character in Monarch: Legacy of Monsters a video message.
In the video message, Bill talks to someone, saying that he can't fix his past mistakes and doesn't expect forgiveness. However, he hopes to leave a legacy behind that makes the other person understand why he did what he did. A mystery monster's roar can be heard as the video stops.
How Will Skull Island Connect To Monarch: Legacy Of Monsters?
The post reveals Bill's video takes place in 1973, the same year he led a Monarch expedition to Skull Island. This means the timeline for Monarch: Legacy of Monsters will partially explore the island where Kong resides. Depending on how much of the island is explored, its most famous Titan could also make a cameo appearance somewhere in the series.
No matter if the Titan were to appear, Bill's return to the Monsterverse indicates Kong's home could be an important location for Cate and Lee as they explore Monarch's secrets. Given the number of giant monsters seen on the island already, their return could have significant implications for the events of the show. Perhaps the series will also acknowledge the events of Skull Island, an animated show also canon to the franchise.
With plenty of new Titans coming in Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, it's possible some of them will originate from Kong's home island. This could also mean an exploration of the location in both the past and the present, showing how it's changed since its first appearance in the Monsterverse. With plenty of mystery surrounding Monarch and Bill's final message, it seems the show will be exploring many facets of the Titan-centered universe.
