\n[[WMG:Godzilla will emerge from the Earth's mantle.]]
Screenshots have shown M.U.T.O. cordoning off various massive holes in the ground, including Turkmenistan's "Door to Hell," for research. It is possible that Godzilla (and maybe his offspring) emerged from one of these holes, having been dormant in subterranean magma since prehistoric times up until nuclear tests awakened him. Him having endured the high pressures found down there may be used in the movie's explanation of how he gets past the SquareCubeLaw.

If the rumors that Godzilla will be portrayed with a rubber suit along with CGI as per Toho's request are true, it probably wouldn't come as a surprise that, also at Toho's request, the other two monsters that Godzilla will fight would also be portrayed with similar methods such as puppetry and animatronics.

[[WMG:Godzilla's rampage will be at least in part because his offspring is missing.]]
At least one Godzilla Jr. will be stuck somewhere in an American West Coast city, possibly taken by M.U.T.O. for research and/or experimentation.

With humanity being hitherto completely unprepared to deal with the threat of kaiju, it makes sense that an organization would quickly be formed to specifically counter that threat. Depending on where the franchise goes, this organization may be responsible for the creation of Mechagodzilla.

* Anguirus, Rodan, and some of the other more "natural" kaiju would fit in well with this world. However, with the more realistic tone that they're trying to establish, it'd be a lot harder to integrate fan favorites like King Ghidorah or Gigan without seriously re-imagining their backgrounds.

* I knew it was only a matter of time before someone noticed!



As a nod to ''King of the Monsters'' and possibly one of the best MythologyGags they could pull off, the 2014 movie could include the Steve Martin character again (though it obviously wouldn't be the same Steve Martin since this movie is a reboot, and because Burr unfortunately died in 1993, they'd have to get a different actor to play the character). Should they do so, they could also use this opportunity to give the character more backstory than just "he's a college friend of Dr. Serizawa" and even expand on the backstory he already has. Also, since this is an entirely new movie made from scratch, there's also more opportunities for Steve Martin to interact with the rest of the cast (especially Dr. Serizawa, who he barely spoke with despite the two being college friends).

[[WMG:A version of Steve Martin will appear.]]
The american version of the original ''{{Film/Gojira}}'' (A.K.A. ''GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters'') added in new scenes with an additional character named Steve Martin (not to be confused with the ''actor'' Creator/SteveMartin), played by Raymond Burr. He basically served as an AudienceSurrogate, acting as an observer and commenting on the events throughout the movie and occasionally interacting with the original cast (thanks to some clever editing and use of doubles), with his character being a noir-esque IntrepidReporter who was a college friend of Dr. Serizawa. When the american version was brought back to Japan, the Steve Martin character [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff became highly influential, inspiring similar reporter characters in later Godzilla movies]]. When ''Film/TheReturnOfGodzilla'' was americanized as ''Godzilla 1985'', the Steve Martin character was once again added in via new scenes with Raymond Burr reprising the role and [[TookTheBadFilmSeriously delivering a thoughtful and dead-serious performance]], despite the higher-ups wanting to give the movie a much lighter tone.

The original 1954 Godzilla was essentially a metaphor for the WWII Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings. It's likely that this movie, in going back to the roots of the original, will employ similar messages, condemning recent events such as 9/11 and the War in Afghanistan.

[[WMG: The film with end with Godzilla still alive]]
Unlike the original 50's film, the popularity of the creature is set in stone, now. This installment looks to (hopefully) be the polar opposite of the '98 American movie, too - so this film will take an approach like that of IDW's recent ''"Half-Century War"'' miniseries, where Godzilla can not only take everything human beings can throw at him (MechaGodzilla, anyone), but becomes something human beings will have to live with and in some instances, come to rely on.
