Ghidorah being an alien is probably the best origin they could use for him in my opinion. They could simply make him a mysterious extraterrestrial creature with unknown origins and motives. He doesn't need to be under the control of an alien race or anything, just a destructive creature that suddenly appears from outer space. I don't think that would be out of the question for Legendary, it's more realistic than him being a supernatural ancient Orochi or the fusion of three tiny genetically engineered bat things. I don't know how else you could logically explain a three-headed giant golden lightning-spitting dragon other than just saying he's from space and leave it at that. The only other origin I guess they could make up and stay somewhat faithful to his character is to say he is an ancient creature that lived at the same time as Godzilla and was an enemy of his species. I still think making Ghidorah an alien with unknown origins is the best route for Legendary to use.
