Godzilla: A Prime Candidate for MultiVersus
Warner Bros. Controls the Godzilla Franchise
In recent years, the Godzilla franchise has seen a resurgence in popularity. The 2014 film featuring Bryan Cranston and Aaron Taylor-Johnson revitalized the cinematic universe, launching the MonsterVerse and reintroducing legendary characters such as Godzilla, King Kong, and other iconic Titans back to the silver screen. It’s worth noting that Warner Bros. possesses the distribution rights to this universe, paving the way for a potential introduction of Godzilla in MultiVersus.
Though the production company Legendary has formed a partnership with Universal Pictures, Warner Bros. retains control over distributing the MonsterVerse films, which increases the likelihood of a crossover with characters like Godzilla in other gaming platforms.
MonsterVerse Movie List
- Godzilla (2014)
- Kong: Skull Island (2017)
- Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019)
- Godzilla vs. Kong (2021)
- Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (2024)
Having graced cinema screens for a decade under the MonsterVerse banner, the anticipation surrounding a Godzilla skin in Fortnite is palpable. As the release date approaches, excitement mounts to see if it will meet community expectations. Should it prove to be a success, it wouldn’t be surprising for MultiVersus to seize the opportunity to introduce the “King of the Monsters”into its competitive space.
While MultiVersus may not enjoy the same level of mainstream recognition as Fortnite, it has nonetheless resonated with a dedicated fan base, showcasing a diverse array of Warner Bros. intellectual properties. This includes iconic characters from DC Comics, Adventure Time, and The Powerpuff Girls. Given the success of the MonsterVerse over the past ten years, integrating Godzilla into MultiVersus would align with Warner Bros.’ strategy of expanding its gaming universe.
Fortnite Potentially Leading the Way for MonsterVerse Crossovers
If MultiVersus is looking to capitalize on Warner Bros.’ exclusive deal with the MonsterVerse, rapid action is necessary. Recent rumors suggest that King Kong may feature in Chapter 6 of Fortnite as a formidable boss fight. While this remains unconfirmed, if Fortnite brings King Kong into play, it would create a significant advantage, drawing many MonsterVerse aficionados away from MultiVersus.
The prospect of including MonsterVerse characters in MultiVersus could hinge on the developer Player First Games’s ability to negotiate effectively. Given that Warner Bros. holds exclusive distribution rights, securing such deals should ideally be more straightforward. However, the complexities of such negotiations cannot be understated. Regardless of these challenges, the thought of battling as Godzilla or alongside other MonsterVerse giants in a competitive brawler setting is undeniably thrilling.
