This is the true story of the King of the Monsters

The Big G's origins can be traced back to 1945 , when the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki left the jagged scar in the cultural consciousness of Japan .

Toho developed a movie under the code name Project G for Giant , although they didn't know exactly what form their titular terror would take.

Originally planned on using stop motion to create the colossal creature, but that would have been prohibitively expensive for what was already turning out to be the costliest Japanese film ever made-up.

Son of Godzilla introduced Minnie Da Goji 's awful offspring, who just kind of looked like a fossilized turd.

The Haystay era was a welcome return to the days of a cold, uncaring creature.

2004 's Final Wars marked Godzilla 's 50th anniversary, and to celebrate, Toho announced they were putting the big guy to bed for the next 10 years .

Legendary Pictures is about to enter phase two of its Monster verse.

King of the Monsters brings back the big guy and introduces some old friends like Mothra and Rodan .

After these Titans tussle, we've still got the rematch of the century in store, with the Big G set to showdown against Colossal Kong .
