Godzilla and McDonald’s have recently teamed up for an exciting new campaign in Japan, which will include the powerful Kaiju facing off against a mecha inspired by the famous fast-food restaurant. As the beloved monster enjoys renewed popularity in film and television, fans eagerly await the return of the MonsterVerse on the big screen with Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire and enjoy the expansive world of the franchise in Monarch: Legacy of Monsters.
With Godzilla Minus One gaining success and acclaim, it comes as no surprise that McDonald’s sought to capitalize on the Kaiju’s reinvigorated fame. The collaboration, set for January unveiling in McDonald’s Japan, will feature a special and massive menu alongside an imaginative ad that pitches a giant mecha from the food company against Godzilla.
While international Godzilla fans may miss out on the McDonald’s collaboration, there is much to look forward to, including the upcoming release of Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire on March 15, 2024. The next film in the MonsterVerse will further explore the histories and origins of the Titans as well as the mysteries of Skull Island and beyond, uncovering the mythical battle tying these extraordinary beings to humankind.
The film boasts an impressive cast, including Rebecca Hall, Brian Tyree Henry, Kaylee Hottle, Rachel House, Dan Stevens, Alex Ferns, Fala Chen, and Mercy Cornwall. Directed by Adam Wingard, the screenplay is written by Simon Barett, Terry Rossio, and Jeremy Slater. Meanwhile, Toho Films, the studio behind Minus One, has confirmed that their next Godzilla film will take some time to develop. Fans appear content to wait, as they anticipate a high-quality product from the esteemed studio.
In the interim, Monarch: Legacy of Monsters fills the gap for fans who crave more from the MonsterVerse, providing a deeper exploration of the franchise on Apple TV+. With new episodes available every Friday until January 12, viewers can continue to enjoy thrilling Titan battles and a more in-depth look at the world of Godzilla and fellow colossal creatures.
