If they do decide to make Ghidorah extraterrestrial and also decide to tie him with some kind of extinction event, then it would make more sense to say that Ghidorah caused the entire extinction while scientists incorrectly assumed it was a meteorite. Rather than Ghidorah coming from a meteor that caused a major extinction event, it would be more realistic for Ghidorah to have arrived on Earth and cause the extinction himself. If they want Ghidorah to be the cause of the Permian exctinction, which this version of Godzilla would have experienced, then they will have to completely ignore Godzilla: Awakening, which shows a normal meteor being the cause of the Permian extinction. Not that Legendary followed Awakening all that much in the movie anyway.
