Thunderbolts* star Wyatt Russell will reprise his role as the young Lee Shaw, a role he shares with his father, Kurt Russell, in the main series.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The site explains that, &#8220;The series will be set during the Cold War and grapple with tensions between the United States and Russia in a world of monsters.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Joby Harold (Obi-Wan Kenobi) has been tapped to serve as the prequel&#8217;s showrunner and is set to executive produce with\u00a0his wife and producing partner Tory Tunnell through their production company Safehouse Pictures.\u00a0Russell is also on board as executive producer.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The series will begin production in Prague next summer, so it shouldn&#8217;t be too long before we learn more about what to expect.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s interesting that this\u00a0Monarch: Legacy of Monsters spin-off is putting the spotlight on the younger Shaw, especially as his story is already being told there. Apple TV clearly believes there&#8217;s room to expand on that with this series, and it should be interesting to discover how the show fits into wider plans for the MonsterVerse.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The franchise began with Godzilla in 2014, and it&#8217;s since expanded with\u00a0Kong: Skull Island,\u00a0Godzilla: King of the Monsters, Godzilla vs. Kong, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, and the upcoming Godzilla x Kong: Supernova.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Apple TV recently released the first trailer for Monarch: Legacy of Monsters Season 2. That &#8220;will pick up with the fate of Monarch \u2014 and the world \u2014 hanging in the balance,&#8221;\u00a0reads the official\u00a0synopsis.\u00a0&#8220;The dramatic saga reveals buried secrets that reunite our heroes (and villains) on Kong\u2019s Skull Island, and a new, mysterious village where a mythical Titan rises from the sea.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The ripple effects of the past make waves in the present day, blurring the bonds between family, friend and foe \u2014 all with the threat of a titan event on the horizon,&#8221;\u00a0it concludes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Monarch:\u00a0Legacy of Monsters\u00a0Season 2&#8217;s cast includes Kurt Russell, Wyatt Russell, Anna Sawai, Kiersey Clemons, Ren Watabe, Mari Yamamoto, Joe Tippett, and Anders Holm.
