The MonsterVerse is an American media franchise and shared fictional universe that is centered on a series of monster films featuring Godzilla and King Kong, distributed by Warner Bros. and produced by Legendary Entertainment in partnership with Toho (Godzilla series). The first film released in the shared universe was Godzilla (2014), a reboot of the Godzilla franchise. The next film to be released will be Kong: Skull Island (2017), a reboot of the King Kong franchise, followed by Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019) and Godzilla vs. Kong (2020).
Weeks after releasing Godzilla, its producer Legendary Entertainment confirmed at the July 2014 San Diego Comic-Con International that it had acquired the rights to Mothra, Rodan, and King Ghidorah from Toho and revealed concept footage with the closing title cards reading "Conflict: inevitable. Let them fight". In September 2015, Legendary announced that the film Kong: Skull Island would not be developed with Universal Studios. Instead, it would be developed with Warner Bros., which sparked media speculation that Godzilla and King Kong would appear in a film together.
