Godzilla 2014 Sequel To Set Up 'Vs King Kong
The Godzilla 2014 sequel could very well be a set up to the biggest Kaiju battle in history if the monsters Godzilla is fighting in Godzilla 2 aren't enough as Godzilla could fight King Kong once "Skull Island" is over.
A lot was revealed at the San Diego Comic Con 2014 and new details about the Godzilla 2014 sequel, creatively titled "Godzilla 2" have been revealed as well as the announcement of the King Kong prequel "Skull Island"
NME.com has reported all the new details from the Godzilla 2014 sequel aka Godzilla 2:
Godz were shown a teaser reel titled 'Classified Monarch Footage' which appeared as if put together in the '60s with a voiceover from then President John F Kennedy talking about the threats and dangers to humanity.
After informing us that there was one more secret, a message appears on screen: "There were others."
Across the shadow of pterodactyl appears the legend: "CODENAME: RODAN". Following this, an extreme close-up of a giant moth-like creature: "CODENAME MOTHRA". Finally a silhouette with flashed edit cuts around the figure of a dragon: "CODENAME: GHIDORAH".
The footage closes with the warning, "THREAT ASSESSMENT: CONFLICT INEVITABLE" before ending with, "LET THEM FIGHT".
As Legendary Entertainment company was closing out its panel at Comic-Con on July 26, the company's CEO Thomas Tull teased the crowd by saying one very exciting line!
"We have been tinkering around with one thing," Thomas said and at that point, the movie Skull Island was revealed and footage from the film began to play.
Mashable has released a description of the teaser:
"The teaser started with the camera panning over a roiling sea, leading to an island of dense jungle and obscured beasts. The shot tracked into a skull-shaped rock outcropping where something stirred - something big - and then rose, with the dark profile of a giant ape. He roared, he beat his chest, and the words 'Legendary's Skull Island' appeared," they report.
"Previous works have touched on the island, but staying and exploring this mysterious and dangerous place offers Legendary the opportunity to take audiences deeper inside this rich world with a style and scope that parallels other Legendary productions. The film will be released on November 4, 2016,"
With Legendary Pictures helming the Godzilla 2 and Skull Island movies, it seems that it is a possibility that King Kong vs Godzilla would happen and if Thomal Tull's comments after Comic Con 2014 was any indication, it may happen.

'Godzilla' sequel already in development
Warner Bros begin work on second film following box office success
A sequel to the new Godzilla movie is in development, it has been confirmed.
The movie, directed by Welshman Gareth Edwards and starring Bryan Cranston (above), made over $103m (£61m) on its opening weekend and landed at Number One in a number of international markets. Deadline reports that studio Warner Bros have already greenlit a second film.
Discussing a potential sequel in 2013, director Edwards told Screenrant that he would be inspired by 1968 movie, Destroy All Monsters: "With the exception of the 1954 original, I would say my second favorite film is Destroy All Monsters," he said.
"I just love the idea of a monster island. Having a world with these creatures in it. I find that fascinating and would like to treat that realistically. I wouldn’t want to limit it to one other foe, I think it’s more fun to – this question will come back to haunt me if we ever do a sequel – but I think multiple creatures make better movies in terms of the image of Gojira."
Godzilla features Kick Ass actor Aaron Johnson, Oscar winner Juliette Binoche and Elizabeth Olsen from Martha Marcy May Marlene. It hit UK cinemas on May 15.
Godzilla began as an Japanese film franchise that ran for 28 pictures between 1954 and 2004. The giant monster has also starred in comic books, novels, TV series and video games. Independence Day director Roland Emmerich helmed a previous Hollywood remake in 1998, but it was poorly received.
