A new development concerning the Kong: Skull Island post-credit scene has subtly confirmed our initial report where we speculated that the footage teased at the end of Skull Island will in fact be a lead-in for Godzilla 2: King of the Monsters! We now have evidence which confirms our assumption. Not only that, but we also now have confirmation that Mothra, Rodan and the mighty King Ghidorah will be in Godzilla 2 - an important aspect originally teased for the sequel, but one that was questioned lately after Gareth Edwards departed the project.

Thanks to SciFi Japan, we have a full list of the post-credits which will roll following Kong: Skull Island's conclusion and one line near the end of the credit roll reads:
“Godzilla,” “King Ghidorah,” “Mothra” and “Rodan” created and owned by Toho Co., Ltd.

What does this mean? This means Warner Brothers and Legendary have to clarify legalities whenever they make reference to, or show footage of any of Toho's monsters - of which Rodan, Mothra and Ghidorah are. This tells us that in some way, whether directly shown through footage or referenced on paper or by conversation by MONARCH personnel, the post-credit scene for Kong: Skull Island will tease the introduction of these three iconic monsters for Michael Dougherty's Godzilla 2: King of the Monsters!
