- Apple TV has released the official trailer for Monarch: Legacy of Monsters Season 2
- It shows more footage of the new Titan X, which is set to be this season’s opponent
- Titan X is a Kraken-like creature similar to the monster in Netflix’s Skull Island, but with a reptilian head
Bring on the official trailer Monarch: Legacy of Monsters season 2 dropped today, all we had seen of Titan X, the mysterious new monster that was supposed to be the new season’s colossal threat, was its shadow, which was massive enough to dwarf a whale.
Described as a ‘living disaster’, Titan X initially appeared to be an octopus-like kaiju based on the brief shots in January’s one minute and 35 second teaser. But the newly released trailer, which runs for more than two and a half minutes, reveals that there is far more to the creature than meets the eye.
The second season of Apple TV’s Monsterverse series takes us back to Kong’s Skull Island and reunites Kurt Russell, Anna Sawai, Kiersey Clemons, Ren Watabe, Mari Yamamoto, Joe Tippett and Anders Holm as their characters come face to face with the new titan.
Keep an eye out Monarch: Legacy of Monsters season 2 trailer below for a first look at Titan X’s stunning CGI. For any Monsterverse fan, the visual effects have become a show-stopping highlight of the franchise, although I will always have a soft spot for the practical effects.
What does the Monarch: Legacy of Monsters Season 2 trailer reveal about Titan X?
Look at
The trailer for The legacy of monsters‘ The second season wastes no time establishing Titan X as an alpha monster. One of the first major shots shows its clawed tentacles ripping through a warship as if it were paper.
The sequence feels lifted straight from Norwegian folklore about the Kraken, as the legendary sea monster is often depicted wrapping its tentacles around ships and dragging them into the depths.
In fact, the Kraken previously appeared in Netflix’s anime style Skull Island series where it fought against Kong. Since that show is now canon, the original creature cannot still roam this timeline, suggesting that Titan X is a much more ancient species.
What really sets the Titan X apart is its head – instead of a traditional octopus shape, it looks like a horned dragon. While the reptilian features might suggest that King Ghidorah, from classic kaiju lore, might have been defrosted, the Titan X is an entirely original creation rather than a direct lift from Toho’s roster.
Could this mean Kong and Godzilla are in their biggest battle yet? With Titan X on the loose, Lee Shaw trapped in Axis Mundi (the space between Hollow Earth and the surface) and the team reunited on Skull Island, there’s no telling what kind of monster mayhem awaits.
