I honestly see no reason why the M.U.T.O.s should return in a sequel. We already saw their full potential, and they were really only created as a placeholder for Toho kaiju. Now that Legendary has the rights to Toho kaiju, there is no practical reason for Legendary to regress to using the M.U.T.O.s.
