While most Monsterverse movies boast their own casts , they do have a tendency to feature a conversant cheek or two . That will also be straight ofGodzilla x Kong : The unexampled Empire’scast , which will include three characters fromGodzilla vs. Kong : Bernie , Dr. Andrews , and Jia .
Similarly , Monarch : Legacy of Monstershas given a significant role toJohn Goodman ’s Bill Randa fromKong : Skull Island . In addition to wreak back Goodman for a cameo , the show has made its young version of Randa , played by Anders Holm , an integral part of the serial as well as a major musician inMonarch ’s history in the Monsterverse . Aside from Randa , no other characters have returned . However , developments in the series have opened the door for four of them to make appearance .
4Walter Simmons
Played by Demián Bichir in Godzilla vs. Kong
Making his first and only visual aspect inGodzilla vs. Kong , Walter Simmons was the brain of APEX and the main human scoundrel of the crossing over . He met his ending at the hands of his own creation when Mechagodzilla formulate some sense of costless will and assail during Simmons ' nefarious speech . That seemed to be the end of his story , but the big bend inMonarch : Legacy of Monstersepisode 7makes his return a genuine possibility for future instalment .
As it turn out , APEX is the understanding why May has been on the streak . The reveal that AET is really APEX was foreshadowed betimes on by May mentioning " Walter " to Brenda Holland . And in Holland ’s last shot , she was demonstrate address APEX ’s design on the telephone with an off - screen Simmons . Now that APEX has been made a part of the unfold story , there ’s a probability Simmons himself could show up , possibly in a season 2 episode . After all , his last is several long time awayat this point in the Monsterverse timeline .
3Ford Brody
Played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson in Godzilla
Despite his role as the human booster of the 2014Godzillareboot that launched the Monsterverse , Ford Brody has n’t been seen since . Admittedly , his absence makes sense ; unless he were to conjoin Monarch , he would n’t have a clear place in any of its movies . However , a seemingly thrown-away line inMonarch : Legacy of Monstersepisode 6 reveals how Ford could become relevant again . Duvall noted that the death of her sister , Sanda , in Janjira is the understanding she works for Monarch . It ’s no conjunction , of course of study , that Ford ’s mother , also advert " Sandra , " break in the incident at Janjira that set the movie ’s story in motion .
Making Duvall the aunt of Ford Brody create a tract for the fictional character to appearin the series . If Duvall live season 1 and remains at betting odds with Monarch travel into the next season , she could be localize in a location where she needs allies . That could lead her to contact Ford , whom she may get laid had his own face-off with Godzilla in 2014 . If such a scenario were to transpire , Ford could make a cameo inMonarch : Legacy of Monstersseason 2 . Naturally , this avenue would depend mostly on Aaron Taylor - Johnsons ’s accessibility .
2Dr. Ishiro Serizawa
Played by Ken Watanabe in Godzilla and Godzilla: King of the Monsters
Arguably the most important human type in the Monsterverse , Ken Watanabe ’s Dr. Ishiro Serizawa made the ultimate sacrifice inGodzilla : King of the Monstersto save Godzilla . trip a nuclear bomb to undo the military ’s mistake of using the Oxygen Destroyer on Godzilla , Dr. Serizawa died giving the alpha Titan the means to return and carry through the mankind from King Ghidorah . This effectively wrap up his story , yet questions about him persist , especially sinceGodzilla vs. Kongintroduced his boy and made him an evil subordinate of Walter Simmons without account .
Monarch : Legacy of Monstershas an chance to properly bond up this promiscuous destruction . In episode 3 , Serizawa was namedropped by Verdugo , who asked Tim why the scientist was n’t touch about the Randa situation . Verdugo ’s comment raised an interesting point in time - as their leading Titan expert , Dr. Serizawa is the most obvious person they should be turning towhen get by with monster threats . Since Dr. Serizawa does n’t croak until 2019 , he theoretically could come out for that purpose in a recent season . If the dilemma touch the Hollow Earth break is n’t resolved by the conclusion of time of year 1 , Monarch may clamber to explicate Serizawa ’s continued absence if he does n’t appear .
1Dr. Houston Brooks
Played by Corey Hawkins in Kong: Skull Island and Joe Morton in Godzilla: King of the Monsters
InKong : Skull Island , Corey Hawkins played Dr. Houston Brooks , the scientist who develop the Hollow Earth possibility and accompany Randa to Kong ’s home . Having lived through the movie , he revert as a much older man for a cameo appearance inGodzilla : King of the Monsters . As a issue , Monarch : Legacy of Monstershas two unlike way it can use Houston Brooks . One would be to sport Joe Morton in the modern - day plot line , which could see theMonarch : Legacy of Monsterscharacterslook to him for help . He was still tie in with Monarch in 2019 , so Brooks seem in that mental ability is n’t hard to fathom .
Heading in this direction would give the case a young connective to the legacy of their grandparents . They have one already in the shape ofLee Shaw ’s Kurt Russell , but Houston Brooks could supply an extra position on them . What ’s more , he would be among the few people in the Monsterverse to have firsthand cognition of Bill Randa ’s destruction . He could relate the consequence ofKong : Skull Island- including the context of Randa ’s dying - to Cate and Kentaro , who would otherwise not be able to get the full word-painting of what happened to the grandpa . Even Lee Shaw ca n’t have a go at it the whole level since he was n’t there .
Alternatively , the Apple TV+ show could use Corey Hawkins ' Houston Brooks by build off setup from instalment 8 . The 1956 plot line revealed that it was actually Bill Randa who created the theoretical account for Brooks ' Hollow Earth theory . Since the Monsterverse is starting to research Monarch ’s introduction to the Hollow Earth concept , Brooks ' role in it could be the next step in that journeying . If the flashback continue beyond the 1950s inMonarch : Legacy of Monstersseason 2,the series can show how Randa met Houston Brooks and the get-go of their partnership .
Monarch : Legacy of Monstersreleases new episodes on Fridays on Apple TV+ .
