Monarch: Legacy of Monsters is a prequel, with Season 2 set after the 2014 Godzilla film while including 1950s flashbacks that precede 2017's Kong: Skull Island. The Season 2 trailer returns to the 2017-era present and shows Lee Shaw concerned about something unleashed from Axis Mundi, the Hollow Earth realm where Titans roam. Keiko and her granddaughter Cate appear working at Monarch; Keiko remains youthful due to Axis Mundi effects. The trailer includes flashbacks to a younger Lee Shaw and teases his missing 1980s years and a possible spinoff. The main reveal centers on a new sea Titan dubbed Titan X, described as large, spiked, tentacled, and distinct from Kong and Godzilla.
"Technically speaking, the epic Monsterverse series Monarch: Legacy of Monsters is a prequel. Season 2 took place after the events of the 2014 Godzilla movie, and also included flashbacks to the 1950s, which placed it before the events of 2017's Kong: Skull Island. If that seems like a lot of timelines and canon to keep track of, don't worry. Because even with Season 2, Monarch is prepping for a subtle reboot."
"The Season 2 trailer for Monarch: Legacy of Monsters seems to bring us back to the world of 2017, which is where Season 1 ended. In that relative present, Lee Shaw (Kurt Russell) is concerned about something that was unleashed from Axis Mundi - the timeless Hollow Earth realm, which Titans roam. We also see Keiko (Mari Yamamoto) in the present, along with her granddaughter Cate (Anna Sawai), seemingly working together at Monarch."
