John Goodman witnesses a kaiju battle in Monarch: Legacy of Monsters’ opening scene

November 5, 2023 by Amie Cranswick

The opening scene from Apple TV+’s hotly-anticipated MonsterVerse series Monarch: Legacy of Monsters has been released, which sees John Goodman, reprising his role as Bill Randa from Kong: Skull Island, pursued to the water’s edge by a giant arachnid before, much to his relief, it is intercepted by a huge crustacean; watch it below…

Following the thunderous battle between Godzilla and the Titans that leveled San Francisco, and the shocking revelation that monsters are real, “Monarch: Legacy of Monsters” tracks two siblings following in their father’s footsteps to uncover their family’s connection to the secretive organization known as Monarch.

Clues lead them into the world of monsters and ultimately down the rabbit hole to Army Officer Lee Shaw (played by Kurt Russell and Wyatt Russell), taking place in the 1950s and half a century later where Monarch is threatened by what Shaw knows.

The dramatic saga — spanning three generations — reveals buried secrets and the ways that epic, earth-shattering events can reverberate through our lives.

Monarch: Legacy of Monsters stars Kurt Russell, Wyatt Russell, Anna Sawai, Kiersey Clemons, Ren Watabe, Mari Yamamoto, Anders Holm, Joe Tippett and Elisa Lasowski.
