Some secrets cannot be contained, much like this newly released official trailer of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters from Apple TV+.
The two and a half minutes long trailer gives viewers a closer look into the organisation known as Monarch and follows Cate Randa (Anna Sawai), a young woman who suspects that her father was part of the organisation. Together with her friends May (Kiersey Clemons) and Kentaro (Ren Watabe), Cate tries to uncover the files and the monsters it hides, as well as solve the mystery behind her father’s disappearance.
The trailer also reveals flashbacks from Army Officer Lee Shaw’s discoveries from the 1950s. Officer Shaw is played by Kurt Russell, while the younger version of the character is played by Wyatt Russell.
Most excitingly, the trailer debuts the various titans and monsters viewers will meet in the series – including the one and only Godzilla who becomes the monarch to save humanity.
The synopsis to Monarch: Legacy of Monsters reads,
“Following the thunderous battle between Godzilla and the Titans that leveled San Francisco, and the shocking revelation that monsters are real, Monarch: Legacy of Monsters tracks two siblings following in their father’s footsteps to uncover their family’s connection to the secretive organisation known as Monarch. Clues lead them into the world of monsters and ultimately down the rabbit hole to Army Officer Lee Shaw, taking place in the 1950s and half a century later where Monarch is threatened by what Shaw knows.”
Monarch: Legacy of Monsters hails from Chris Black and Matt Fraction. Matt Shakman directs the first two episodes and serves as executive producer alongside Joby Harold, Tory Tunnell and Andy Goddard.
The 10-episode series stars Kurt and Wyatt Russell, Sawai, Clemons, Watabe, Mari Yanamoto, Anders Holm, Joe Tippett, and Elisa Lasowski.
Monarch: Legacy of Monsters premieres globally on Apple TV+ on 17 November.
Don’t judge a book by its cover, for behind all this makeup, is a geek just like you. To simply put it, superheroes, Star Wars, Harry Potter and all things gore and creepy makes this girly girl swoon.
