Apple TV+ is Releasing a Live-Action Monsterverse Godzilla and Titans Series

Streaming Platform Apple TV+ has revealed that they are working on a new, currently untitled, Live-Action Godzilla and Titans series which will be part of the Legendary Monsterverse franchise which includes Godzilla: King of The Monsters and Godzilla vs Kong.

Apple TV+ revealed that Anna Sawai, Ren Watabe,  Kiersey Clemons, Joe Tippett, and Elisa Lasowski have been cast to star in the upcoming series which will be an Apple Original.

“Following the thunderous battle between Godzilla and the Titans that leveled San Francisco and the shocking new reality that monsters are real, the untitled Monsterverse series will explore one family’s journey to uncover its buried secrets and a legacy linking them to the secret organization known as Monarch.”

The roles for the five revealed cast members have also been revealed:

• Anna Sawai (“Pachinko,” “F9”) as ‘Cate,’ a former schoolteacher and a G-Day survivor, she travels to Japan to settle family affairs but instead uncovers a family secret. Tired of running from her problems, she is determined to find answers.
• Newcomer Ren Watabe (“461 Days of Bento”) as ‘Kentaro,’ an intelligent, creative and curious young man who has yet to find his own path. He will embark on a quest to learn more about his revered yet mysterious father and discover his own talents in the process.
• Kiersey Clemons (“Hearts Beat Loud,” “The Young Wife”) as ‘May,’ an American ex-pat with a roguish exterior that she uses to protect herself as well as others. Whether it be deciphering a code or finding the loophole, she is always three steps ahead of everyone around her.
• Joe Tippett (“Mare of Easttown,” “The Morning Show,” “Rise”) as ‘Tim,’ an office drone who dreams of secret agent adventure. His overconfidence gets him in trouble in the field, but he is determined not to fail his organization.
• Elisa Lasowski (“Versailles”) as ‘Duvall,’ an expert operative with unwavering confidence in herself and her skills. She also possesses a wry sense of humor, which she uses to guide her less field-oriented colleague.

Emmy Award-nominated director Matthew Shakman (“WandaVision,”) will direct the first two episodes and serve as executive producer on the Monsterverse series, which is being produced by Legendary Television.

The executive producers for the show are series co-creators Chris Black (“Star Trek: Enterprise,” “Outcast”), who serves as showrunner, and Matt Fraction (“Hawkeye”).

With a series likely running longer than movies, this could be an opportunity to introduce more classic Toho monsters to The Monsterverse. I’d personally love to see Anguirus and Gigan if it’s possible.
