As of this edit, not much information regarding the plot has been revealed. All that is known so far is that Godzilla will fight two other monsters (one of which resembles a centipede), and the story will revolve around an individual soldier. The plot will also involve an organization called M.U.T.O., which has a connection to the other monsters, themselves called Mutos. According to Elizabeth Olsen, the film is "[[DarkerAndEdgier definitely not lighthearted]]. It's kind of going [[RevisitingTheRoots back to its roots]] of the [[Film/{{Gojira}} original Japanese film]]."

In terms of cast, the film stars Creator/AaronJohnson as Lieutenant Ford, Elizabeth Olsen as Elle Brody, Creator/BryanCranston as Joe Brody, Juliette Binoche as Sandra Brody, David Strathairn as Admiral Stenz, Sally Hawkins as Dr. Wates, and Creator/KenWatanabe as [[TheBusCameBacke returning character Dr. Daisuke Serizawa]].

* SceneryGorn: The shots of San Francisco after Godzilla has rampaged through. While the teaser gives a good picture, it's given a terrifying twist in the actual trailer when a squad of soldiers HALO jumps into the city. They see it burning below them, and the soldier whose point of view we're seeing it all from can see Godzilla, silhouetted in flashes of lightning as the squad drops literally ''right past him.''

This may factor that in the [[Film/{{Gojira}} original]], Godzilla is ''nuclear apocalypse personified''.

These go on the Trivia tab.


* HeyItsThatGuy
** With Aaron Johnson as the lead role, one could practically call this film "Godzilla Vs. Film/KickAss".
** Evading the DEA is now the ''least'' of [[Series/BreakingBad Walter White's]] problems.
** Dr. Serizawa used to be [[Film/TheLastSamurai the leader of a samurai rebellion in the 1800's]] , as well as one of [[Film/BatmanBegins Ra's al Ghul's decoys]].



* ViralMarketing: A website titled [[http://godzillaencounter.com/ Godzilla Encounter]] was set up with pictures and updates referring to Godzilla. Some of the words in each article were highlighted in red to eventually spell SERIZAWA (the name of the doctor who created the Oxygen Destroyer in the first film).
** Another site titled [[http://www.mutoresearch.net M.U.T.O.]] has two hidden videos that can be "unlocked", as well let a fan input almost every word or term that has ''any'' ties to the franchise to get some interesting results.

Adding the Hey, It\'s That Guy tropes here since there\'s no Trivia page yet.


* ImpactSilhouette: A rare non-comedic version. In the teaser's footage of the wake of Godzilla's destruction, one of shots shows several skyscrapers with massive holes, from Godzilla plowing right through them.

* AlwaysABiggerFish: The main dynamic between Godzilla and the other monsters. The 2013 Comic-Con trailer especially made a point of illustrating this: the centerpiece scene shows one of the monsters, which [=io9=] compared to the ''Film/{{Cloverfield}}'' monster in terms of both size and appearance, wrecking an airport. It's a big, scary creature compared to the puny humans -- and then the scene culminates in a shot of the monster being dwarfed by Godzilla's ''foot''.

This matches the tone of the film better. Plus, San Francisco is only ONE of the cities rampaged through.

I typed in Cloverfield a few times and got random messages, including that one, which probably means the website doesn\'t register it for anything specific.
