The Monsterverse Is 10 Years Old, What The Hell?

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Despite feeling like a relatively new arrival on the franchise scene, Legendary Pictures and Warners Bros.' MonsterVerse is officially 10 years old – a milestone that both speaks to the state of the modern movie industry and provides some interesting insight into the series' future. Starting off in 2014 with Gareth Edwards' Godzilla, the series has undergone major tonal and narrative shifts in its 10-year lifespan.

The MonsterVerse Turning 10 Years Old Is Very Surprising Close Because the MonsterVerse does not follow a neat chronology where each installment feeds directly into the next, it can be more difficult to recognize whether a particular movie or TV show is strictly part of the same wider story. Kong: Skull Island, for instance, despite sharing a studio and now clearly understood as part of the broader mythos, was not immediately identifiable as a Godzilla prequel, or part of an extended universe.

The fact that the MonsterVerse can bring so many contrasting styles together in one cohesive series is testament to the flexibility of its subject matter. Before the franchise existed, legendary monsters like Godzilla and King Kong had already proven that they were capable of sustaining dozens of different movies with equally contrasting tones and stories, based on the strength of their designs and cultural capital.

Has The MonsterVerse Been A Success? While not every entry has been an industry gamechanger, it's clear that the MonsterVerse as a whole has been a successful enterprise. Based on a combined budget of between $805-880 million, the five MonsterVerse movies have made an impressive $2.51 billion return.
