Godzillas MonsterVerse Can Now Introduce Biollante (Because Of Ghidorah)

Through King Ghidorah in Godzilla: King of the Monsters, Legendary’s MonsterVerse already has the recipe to create Biollante, a villain from a 1989 Godzilla movie. Though not as important in Godzilla lore as Gigan, Mechagodzilla, or King Ghidorah, Biollante is a fan-favorite opponent of Godzilla that has only appeared once on the big screen.

Godzilla: King of the Monsters brought three more kaiju from Toho’s library of Godzilla characters into the MonsterVerse when it introduced King Ghidorah, Rodan, and Mothra. It also included a hidden Anguirus Easter egg. The rest of the Titans in the movie were original to the MonsterVerse, but that doesn’t mean Legendary is done using Toho’s creations. At least one Toho kaiju will be appearing alongside the titular Titans in the upcoming crossover movie, Godzilla vs. Kong. Directed by Adam Wingard and scheduled for a November 2020 release, the film will pit the King of the Monsters against the King of Skull Island, with Mechagodzilla somehow being thrown into the mix as well.

Could Legendary have plans to use yet another Toho property in Godzilla vs. Kong, or possibly in an unannounced Godzilla sequel? Godzilla: King of the Monsters set up both Anguirus and Destoroyah, but there may have been another giant monster that the movie was secretly building toward. Here’s how the events of Godzilla: King of the Monsters already gave the MonsterVerse the tools it needs to introduce Biollante, and what Biollante could mean for Godzilla vs. Kong.

Toho’s Biollante Explained

Toho wrapped up its first series of Godzilla movies in 1975 with Terror of Mechagodzilla, and didn’t reboot the franchise until 1984 when it released Return of Godzilla, which gave the pop culture an updated look and moved away from the campy, kid-friendly tone of the 1960s and the 1970s movies. The movie focused on Godzilla’s battle with the Japanese military, and he didn’t encounter another monster until the second installment in the series, Godzilla vs. Biollante. In the movie, a scientist tries to bring his daughter back to life so he splices her DNA with a rose, and combines it with one of Godzilla’s cells, which are called “G-Cells”. His hope was that his experiment would allow his daughter to live again in the form of a plant, but it all goes horribly wrong when the plant – which he names “Biollante” – evolves into a powerful and terrifying monster.

Biollante, who at the time was the largest opponent Godzilla had ever fought, is a plant-type beast with a mouth shaped like a crocodile and vines all over its body. Some of these vines have mouths of their own, complete with sharp teeth that can bite Godzilla. She can also spit acid and restrain her enemies by wrapping them up in her vines. Her size and arsenal of weapons made her a significant challenge for Godzilla, but perhaps what made her so difficult to defeat was the regenerative properties of Godzilla’s G-Cells. Biollante’s ability to rapidly regenerate allowed her to come back from what would have been fatal wounds inflicted by Godzilla. Godzilla’s atomic breath obliterated parts of her body, but it seemed that Biollante could come back from nearly anything. After Biollante was wounded by a direct blast of atomic breath to the mouth, she changed her form and fled Earth – and never returned.

How Godzilla: King of the Monsters Set Up Biollante

Godzilla: King of the Monsters actually set the stage for Biollante’s MonsterVerse debut in two different ways. The first hint came in the credits sequence, which was filled with newspaper articles that teased the future of the MonsterVerse. In one article, “Monarch Boosts Forces Around Skull Island”, it’s mentioned that not only was Monarch working on a “mechanized giant”, but they have also tried to create “organic Titans” in the past. Such an experiment could lead to the creation of Biollante.

But how could Monarch – or anyone else – genetically engineer a creature as powerful as dangerous as Biollante? The Godzilla: King of the Monsters post-credits scene may hold the answer to that question. In this scene, Jonah (Charles Dance) acquires the severed head of King Ghidorah, the same one that he lost to Godzilla when they fought in the ocean. Ghidorah was able to grow back this head after absorbing energy from Rodan’s volcano. It has been speculated that this head could point to Mecha-King Ghidorah eventually being used, but Ghidorah’s head could actually serve the purpose of helping to introduce a different Toho monster.

In a recent Godzilla: King of the Monsters watch party hosted by Legendary, director Mike Dougherty teased what the movie’s villains might intend for the head when he specifically mentioned its regenerative capabilities (via Twitter). Regeneration is arguably Biollante’s most important power. With Ghidorah’s head and the technology to create organic Titans, Biollante can now be introduced at any time. It’s also worth noting that Doughtery has already said that if he could direct a sequel, he would want to use Biollante, so it makes sense for him to set up that possibility in King of the Monsters.

What Biollante Would Mean For The MonsterVerse

If Jonah and his group of eco-terrorists get their hands on the research and technology that Monarch once used to try to make organic Titans, they can use Ghidorah’s head to make Biollante. This could be a plotline that Legendary may want to save for a potential Godzilla 3 so that she could be the main villain, or it could happen sooner. A post-credits scene in Godzilla vs. Kong could tease Biollante by exploring the next step in Jonah’s plan. Alternatively, Biollante could play an active role in the plot of Godzilla vs. Kong. It looks like Godzilla and Kong will already have to face off against Mechagodzilla and possibly Nozuki, with Mechagodzilla being a strong candidate for the foe they’ll face in the final act of the movie.

Throwing in Biollante would make it a two-on-two, and give the movie not one, but two man-made Titans. This could work for the movie because first of all, multiple villains in Godzilla vs. Kong seems necessary. It may be decided that one Toho villain isn’t threatening enough for Godzilla and Kong. Biollante, who would likely dwarf Godzilla, would certainly up the stakes in a huge way. Furthermore, Biollante’s inclusion would reinforce the MonsterVerse’s recurring theme of “Man versus nature”. A team-up of Mechagodzilla and Biollante would be the greatest challenge that humanity has tossed at Godzilla and Kong yet.
