Though we’re still waiting for the next proper trailer for Godzilla: King of the Monsters, Tokyo Comic-Con did offer a short tease of the spectacle to come in a clip that puts the spotlight on Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown.
Before the phenomenal first trailer for the Big G’s next cinematic outing premiered earlier this year at San Diego Comic-Con, you may recall that Legendary Pictures shared a quick snippet from a scene in which the young Madison Russell attempts to contact the secret government agency known as Monarch. This new teaser starts off in a similar vein, but alternates its footage of Brown with ominous glimpses of the mayhem unfolding elsewhere. Among the excerpts are scenes of crowds running through streets, fighter jets flying over an imperiled Washington, D.C., and the shadow of Rodan flying over a community and leaving devastation in its wake.
The foreboding footage ends with the message, “FULL TRAILER COMING SOON,” which we’re now being told is happening next week, despite this tweet claiming otherwise.

The sequel to 2014’s Godzilla will see the famed lizard crossing paths with Rodan, Mothra, and King Ghidorah – three creatures whom we’ve only had partially obscured glimpses of so far, and honestly, the marketing team might do well to save the full reveals for the actual movie. Either way, while this colossal trio will serve as the focus of King of the Monsters, the studio looks to have longer-term plans in mind for Madison, with Brown’s character set to return for Godzilla vs. Kong.
Madison’s significance in the MonsterVerse saga has already been the subject of a little fan speculation, but while the impending trailer may offer a few further insights on what role she plays in the fight between giants, Godzilla: King of the Monsters will have the final say when the film hits theaters on May 31st, 2019.
