Spoiler alert! What follows discusses the end of Godzilla: King of the Monsters , so beware if you haven’t seen it yet.

By the last blow of its wholly destructive finale, Godzilla: King of the Monsters definitely lives up to its title.

The sequel to 2014’s Godzilla finds the radioactive thunder lizard standing tall over a very, very wrecked Boston after defeating the three-headed dragon Ghidorah, saving humanity yet again but also becoming the alpha for a host of humongous “Titans” that now walk the Earth.

But he won’t have to wait long for contenders to the throne to step forward, as the credits roll and hint at a couple of upcoming foes – including a fellow creature-feature icon.

The next MonsterVerse movie is director Adam Wingard’s Godzilla vs. Kong (in cinemas March 2020), and while King Kong – last seen in the 1970s-set Kong: Skull Island – is never shown in all his hairy glory during King of the Monsters, his presence is definitely felt.
