Rodan has been portrayed as an antagonist before, and Mothra has at the very least been portrayed in a neutral light, in the sense that she is not always the guardian of the humanity as a whole. Regardless, I think you're kind of oversimplifying things here when calling them heroes or villains. Godzilla, for example, is neither good nor evil, merely a force of nature, although some of the cheesier films of the sixties and seventies portrayed him as more of a traditional hero by anthropomorphising him. In the 2014 film, he is merely the less destructive of the two rival Kaiju, saving humanity from the M.U.T.O.s while still killing some people himself. Case in point, the headline at the bottom of the newscast at the end read something along the lines of "King of the Monsters: Savior of the City? Notice the question mark at the end. Can it really be said that he is a hero if he leveled much of the city during the fight? He showed no concern for the humans around him as he viciously fought against his foes in the city. Mothra and Rodan may be portrayed in a similar light, being less destructive than King Ghidorah, but not necessarily protectors of humanity. When you're talking about Kaiju, it's not always as simple as labeling them hero or villain like human characters. Personally, I'm not really worried about it. However they portray the two Kaiju, I'm sure they will be faithful to the core concept of the creatures as created by Toho.
