In a universe first created by Toho with Godzilla in 1954, Legendary Pictures has since expanded on the material in their Monsterverse with a new emergence of the iconic Titan. Now, in a collaboration with Apple TV, Monarch: Legacy of Monsters tells a new story that dates back to the ‘50s when Monarch was first founded and spans to the aftermath of the attack on San Francisco in Godzilla (2014). Ahead of the series premiere on the streamer, Collider’s Steve Weintraub hosted a Q&A after our early screening for Episodes 1 and 2 with director Matt Shakman, creators and EPs Chris Black and Matt Fraction, and surprise guests Kurt Russell and Wyatt Russell. If you had to miss out on the screening, check out the full interview in the video at the top of this article, or you can read the full transcript below. During their conversation, the creators discuss their close partnership with Legendary to find where their narrative belongs throughout the timeline and Legendary and Toho’s enthusiasm for Monarch to explore new MUTOs. Fraction explains why fans of the Godzilla franchise can rest easy with the Titans in their hands, how they map out their season, and why it’s okay for there to be questions at the end of Season 1. On the other side of the lens, Kurt Russell shares what it was like behind the scenes for his first television production since 1979 (Elvis), what Monarch has in common with John Carpenter’s The Thing, which creature is his favorite from Season 1, which co-star gave a standout performance and tons more. Wyatt Russell gives his perspective on the challenge of playing the younger version of his father, why filming on location can be dangerous—and why he prefers it to sound stages—and how his core castmates, Mari Yamamoto and Anders Holm, made Monarch such a special project. #monarchlegacyofmonsters #kurtrussell #godzilla For interviews, movie reviews, and more visit FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL
