Warning: Spoilers for Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire

Summary

  • Kong walks on a giant skeleton bridge in Godzilla x Kong, proving Titans bigger than Godzilla or Kong exist.
  • The identity of the massive skeleton remains a mystery, possibly a giant serpent Titan in the Monsterverse.
  • The mystery Titan could be a future villain in Godzilla vs. Kong 3, requiring a Titan team-up to defeat it.

A moment in Frost Vark in Monarch: Legacy of Monsters to the likes of Godzilla and Kong, it becomes apparent that Titans come in all shapes and sizes in the Monsterverse.

Godzilla has long been known as the King of the Monsters, but that doesn't necessarily mean he dwarfs all the the Monsterverse's Shimo have larger body masses, which goes to the show that there are indeed Titans out there bigger than both Godzilla and Kong. However, while there may be some monsters he'd have to look up to, none of the Titans shown on-screen are so big where Godzilla would have a massive size disadvantage. Surprisingly, a detail in Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire has challenged this notion.

Even Godzilla wouldn't be able to fight a monster of that size

Kong walks across a Titan skeleton in Godzilla x Kong

During Kong's exploration of the Subterranean Realm in Godzilla x Kong, there's a scene where he's shown walking across a skeleton that acts as a bridge. Such a moment seems more befitting to one of the human characters, given how it would make sense for a Titan skeleton to be big enough to hold of them. It's naturally more jarring to see Kong - a Titan who stands at a whopping 337 feet - being ed by the body of another monster. Whatever this creature was, it's obvious by this scene that neither Godzilla or Kong are even a quarter of its size.

As for the identity of the creature, that subject is currently open to speculation. However, other views of the skeleton indicate it may have been a giant serpent Titan of some kind. At some point in the Monsterverse timeline, whether it to be to natural causes or a battle with another creature, the colossal, snake-like Titan lost its life deep in the Hollow Earth world. Other than that, nothing concrete has been established about its place in Monsterverse lore.

While Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire's mystery Titan has long been dead, it can still represent a future threat. After all, it's not impossible that other of its species are out there in the Monsterverse somewhere. If that's the case, one could easily fill the role of the villain in Godzilla and Kong's next movie. Heading in this direction would be a way to justify a Titan team-up of epic proportions. Against it, Godzilla and Kong would most likely require the aid of Shimo, Mothra, Rodan, and possibly more if they have any hope of winning.
