Shin Godzilla is meant to be the first Godzilla but appearing for the very first time in mordern day. So it will look a lot like it but is meant to be darker than the original. The first Godzilla's skeleton was only used to create Kiryu in the continuity of the films Godzilla Against MechaGodzilla and Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S. In the continuity of GMK it's implied that the first Godzilla regenerated from the Oxygen Destroyer, possibly through supernatural means.
