I don’t think the issue was the Monsterverse more so for Godzilla himself.

There was a Son of Kong movie in 1933 however, There is also that.

I liked the 1933 film, for the most part. But the ending is even sadder than the original:

I guess "Son of Kong" is probably a pretty sound idea on what to do after KOAM and GvK. Plus Kong is due for another solo movie anyway.

I'm a little surprised there wasn't even a small push to get put a Rodan solo movie.

Even it was more Kong's story in GvK than Godzilla's. But he's is due for a second Kong movie no doubt, The Hollow Earth opens up to many possibilities.

As far as I've been aware, GvK represents the last movie in the Godzilla license they signed. So it's less them "losing" it as it is them just completing the terms of it... and now needing to make another deal.

Though again... KOAM was a money loser for them. If they do intend to make more they'll have to drastically scale back the way they approach those movies.

Giant monster movies is definitely a tricky balance to make.

My suspicion is that, given the losses from KOAM and... whatever the final net result of GvK is (hard/impossible to judge by traditional means)... they may take the Godzilla factor so far as a running pad. And at least for the near future try to lean on the Kong side of things, as this doesn't require any renegotiations with Toho or anything. While cutting budgets waayyyyyyy back.

Like, a string of Skull Island type movies could easily be profitable if they maintained that level of quality.
