THE BEST LOOK YET AT THE MONSTER-VERSE

Monarch: Legacy of Monsters is the Godzilla show we've all been waiting for. For the first time, we have a MonsterVerse title that isn't just raw spectacle.

- HOOTS THE OWL AND THE COUNT

But that's not to say that Legacy of Monsters lacks the creature-driven action MonsterVerse fans love there is still plenty of CGI action, rendered in gorgeous detail, and a bunch of new monsters to boot. Set in the devastating aftermath of G-day, the name for the battle between Godzilla and the Titans that levelled San Francisco, Legacy of Monsters tracks two siblings following in their father's footsteps to uncover their family's connection to the secretive organisation known as Monarch.

One half of the sibling duo is Cate Randa (Anna Sawai), a Japanese-American middle school teacher who was caught in the thick of G-day and survived. One year on, Cate is in Tokyo to settle the affairs of her father, Hiroshi Randa, who is presumed dead in a plane crash over AIaska. In Japan, she is forced to confront a shocking revelation - Hiroshi has a second family in Tokyo, including a son, Kentaro (Ren Watabe).

Together with her half-brother and his American ex, May (Kiersey Clemons), the trio set out to uncover the truth behind Hiroshi's legacy, and his secretive ties to Monarch. AIong the way, they also team up with US military officer Lee Shaw, one of the founding members of Monarch, played by Kurt Russell and his son Wyatt Russell.
