Back in August of 2017 while filming King of the Monsters, director Michael Dougherty took to Twitter to tease the Oxygen Destroyer used in the original 1954 movie and the 1995 film Godzilla vs. Destoroyah.  

In a new interview, Michael Dougherty confirms the Oxygen Destroyer will be used in King of the Monsters and that it will be more than just a nod to the previous movies. 

"It appears as an important key item to the story, this is not a cameo," Dougherty confirms to the Japanese site Cinema Today. "Of course there will also be other weapons created by humanity that will be shown."
