According to KDrama Stars.com, the Godzilla 2014 sequel and a part 3 entry "have been confirmed."
Now begins the rumors and speculation on the foe(s) Godzilla will be facing, which seems to indicate that Godzilla will be a trilogy of movies.
It is rumored that Mothra will be featured in the next movie. They reported that, allegedly, in the end credits of Godzilla in "selected Asian countries" a scene was shown of Mothra "commanding an army of MUTOS" and of Mothra "flying up and generating a hurricane." Is this a harbinger of things to come?
They reported that Gareth Edwards told reporters that for the third movie, he sees humans creating their own version of Godzilla and "it will end badly for the humans." Does this mean that Mechagodzilla will be appearing in a Godzilla 3?
If these rumors are correct, just how excited will Mothra and Mechagodzilla make the general viewing public? That's hard to say. To the hardcore Godzilla fan, these rumors will probably not be too exciting as Toho tended to overuse these characters during the last few years of their Godzilla production run. The trend of late is to have movies featuring giant robots. We've had Pacific Rim featuring giant robots fighting kaiju, and a Pacific Rim sequel has been given a swift green-light due to the success of Godzilla. (Should I even mention the Transformers movies?) I would still go see the movies featuring Mothra and Mechagodzilla, but probably with a little less enthusiasm, unless a new foe is introduced as well.
In any case, a Godzilla sequel is a few years away as Legendary Pictures has other, and more pressing, priorities.
