King Ghidorah (MonsterVerse)

"From the Hydra to the Rainbow Serpent, myth was the compass that led us to the resting place of the three-headed Titan. A name, unspoken through millennia of whispered nightmares. A living extinction event, named “the one who is many”. We call it Monster Zero."

- Monarch Sciences description The MonsterVerse incarnation of King Ghidorah キングギドラ (Kingu Gidora), also dubbed Monster Zero, is a created by Legendary Pictures that will appear in Legendary's upcoming 2019 film, Godzilla: King of the Monsters.

Appearance
According to a cave painting, Ghidorah, much like his previous incarnations in Toho's pre-MonsterVerse films, is shown to be much larger than Godzilla, and appears to possess long manes on his necks, though whether they are comprised of hair, feathers, fleshy soft tissue, or some combination of any of these is currently unknown. The middle head's horns are notably straighter and longer than those of its peripheral heads. Ghidorah's wings are also longer and narrower than most incarnations.

Portrayal
King Ghidorah will be portrayed through a mix of motion capture and CGI. It was confirmed that Jason Liles, who starred in Rampage, will mocap Ghidorah's middle head, with Alan Maxson and Richard Dorton portraying the other two, while unnamed colleagues play the monster's body.

Roar
King Ghidorah's roar is undefined.

Personality
Ghidorah seems to be malevolent in nature, as implied by the skulls depicted surrounding him in the cave painting and a footnote in Vivienne Graham's notes that refers to him as "the devil".

Origins
King Ghidorah's origins are unknown; however, given how he is shown in a cave painting, it is highly possible he, like Godzilla and Kong, is a prehistoric superspecies. The creature, as of 2016 was discovered buried in the Antarctic.

Kong: Skull Island
Ghidorah appears in the post-credit scene, along with Godzilla, Mothra, and Rodan, in the form of cave-paintings. The painting heavily implies that Ghidorah and Godzilla had battled one another in the past, and may be destined to fight each other again in the future.

2016
In 2016, Vivienne Graham led an effort to build a containment and research facility around an extraordinary, but dormant creature in the Antarctic. Her classified field notes contained the mysterious footnote, "The devil has three heads."

Godzilla: King of the Monsters
It has been confirmed that Ghidorah will appear in Godzilla: King of the Monsters, along with Godzilla, Mothra, and Rodan, on March 22, 2019.
