Let's keep speculation for this upcoming post-King of the Monsters film here. Any suggestions for how we should handle spoilers? Should we just keep them out of here?

I say we keep the spoilers out of this thread, but when possible spoilers begin showing up we can start a spoiler thread.

I'd agree with that. Anything we KNOW is a spoiler should be kept out. If it's just speculation, like the thing about Destroyah being in GvK, then it goes here.

Sounds like a plan to me! There are a lot of supposed spoilers according to leaks that are roaming around, but we'll keep them out of here.
Additionally, I love the theory that Destoroyah could be in GvK. He would be a perfect foil for the two.

Indeed, though it will require the Oxygen Destroyer be in KotM. They may change Destroyah's origin. They may not. But I don't think they will completely sever his connection to that weapon if they bring him into the Monsterverse.

I don't think so, either. It's too important to his character. Realistically, I could also see the Oxygen Destroyer showing up in the movie. Maybe Vera Farmiga's character, Dr. Russell is its creator now? Serizawa in these films seems more amazed by everything he's seeing than anything.

I'm really not sure who would make it, but if it is in the film it will likely weaken Ghidorah, if not Ghidorah and Godzilla.
On the subject of Ghidorah, I think his storms will probably disrupt the storm around Skull Island. Which can allow people to go to and fro at last.
OH, and something I'm not sure would happen but would love to see in the Monsterverse is that after KotM there's a news arms race of sorts. Namely, the different nations of the world want to get control over the kaiju to use them for their own ends. I think that would be an awesome angle to explore. Though that has no grounds in it. Just something I'd love to see.

Oh man, the Skull Island theory makes complete sense. Those "hypercanes" as they've apparently been dubbed could totally expose Skull Island to the outside world. Maybe Destoroyah starts out as something on Skull Island and becomes something more because of the effects of the Oxygen Destroyer and escapes. That forces Kong out to go after him.
As far as the arms race goes, I would LOVE to see that explored more. It was touched on in the comic book, Godzilla: Half Century War with a black market dealer building a sonic weapon that calls Kaiju to the area and causes them to wreak havoc. Pretty interesting.

Hmm...That's a good possibility. Though I think Destroyah's going to be more of a threat building in the background of the movie, while Godzilla and Kong fight multiple times with no clear winner until the end. Why they fight, though, is obvious. For dominance. Heroic or not, they're still both animals and the top of their ecosystems.
And yeah, there's a lot that could be done with the Monsterverse after GvK with the idea of different nations trying to gain control of the kaiju as living WMDs.

Yes, that makes more sense, actually. These two behemoths battling it out while Destoroyah builds in the background. It mirrors the original film (Godzilla vs. Destoroyah) in certain ways. With that said, I would LOOOOVE to see a Burning Godzilla 2014. That design would be insane.

Burning Godzilla of any design would be awesome. Burning 54. Burning Showa. Burning 84. Burning Millenium. Burning GMK. Burning Final Wars. Burning Shin. Burning Legendary. Hell, even Burning Zilla. That's a design that works with anyone.
Though I don't think we'll see a Burning Legendary design. I DO, however, think the movie will end with people uncertain of if Godzilla lived or not, while Kong is confirmed alive. Though a mid-credits scene will show the audience good ol' Goji is alive. Like he's underwater, and you see his eye open.
Why do it like that? To leave things a little vague pending renegotiations with Toho. Though I honestly Toho will let Legendary keep making movies. Just rearrange things, so they can do their own and not compete directly with each other.

I agree. Both, about the Burning design, and the negotiations with Toho. The Legendary universe is going to absolutely be successful when all is said and done, and Toho will see that.

I'm going to take a different approach on what I think G v Kong will be. I feel the end of the KoM movie will have some kind of dramatic ending with the oxygen bomb and Godzilla. I don't believe there will be a destroya but instead will make Godzilla feel the humans are a threat to the natural order which Godzilla protects and go after them. Kong to the rescue as he has already made an emotional connection with a human before. My 2 cents. Iys certainly more of a main stream look at it. Not saying its a better one.

That's not a bad theory. I still expect them to fight through most of the beginning of the film, but they'll eventually team up to fight something greater than themselves (Destoroyah is just the most prevailing theory, I think).

I believe Monarch, or some group, will use/get their hands on, the ORCA and control/try to control either Godzilla or Kong to fight the other.
Remember: There can be many Kings, but there is only one God (zilla).
