the new addition to the Monsterverse franchise<\/a> will follow the story of Colonel Lee Shaw (Russell), during his time as an American operative in 1984. During this era, he went on a secret mission behind enemy lines. This is an attempt to stop the Soviets from unleashing a new Titan big enough to destroy the U.S. One that can even turn the tide of the Cold War. Based on what we know from the existing Monsterverse projects, the big American vs. Russian kaiju battle didn\u2019t happen. Or at least, didn\u2019t happen in a way the public at large ever found out about. Maybe it was like Rocky IV, only with giant monsters, and no cameras. <\/p>\n![\"Godzilla](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Monarch-Godzilla.webp\")

According to the original report, showrunner Joby Harold is developing several different series set within the existing Monsterverse. These new projects will showcase old Titans, presumably Kong and Godzilla. But it will showcase several new monsters created just for this series as well. So what will this series be called? We\u2019re not sure, but we imagine the word \u201cMonarch\u201d will be in the title somewhere. We expect production to get underway for this new Monsterverse series sometime within the next year. <\/p>\n
