And the main human characters name in KoM was Mark Russell (probably no relation) .

Nice to make it a family affair .

Making this the first time that father and son have acted together since the latter played the younger version of his father's character in Soldier.

5/18: During an interview, Anders Holm revealed he thinks the premiere will be around October/November, it has two timelines that weave together: the modern timeline where Titans are known and in the early 1950s where his character exists and they are discovering something is going on out there and they try to figure it out, there's a "cool thing" about Kurt Russell's character, and will intertwine with the movies.

8/17: Title is Monarch: Legacy of Monsters. Stills released. Series description, "two siblings following in their father’s footsteps to uncover their family’s connection to the secretive organization known as Monarch. Clues lead them into the world of monsters and ultimately down the rabbit hole to Army officer Lee Shaw (Kurt and Wyatt Russell), taking place in the 1950s and half a century later where Monarch is threatened by what Shaw knows. The dramatic saga – spanning three generations – reveals buried secrets and the ways that epic, earth-shattering events can reverberate through our lives."

Wow, John Goodman's character from Kong: Skull Island! And a suprising amount of Kaiju (and Godzilla) .

Impressive. Looks like really good movie budget quality. Well, well, Bill Randa, the plot thickens. But I don't have Apple TV and don't really have an urge to add another streamer. But this is tempting.

The only thing that could make it more impressive is if we actually see Godzilla fight one of the original Kaiju .

Noticed a small detail on Apple+'s website for Monarch. The character Cate's last name is Randa. Hmm!
