Legendary could do that, but there isn't any indication that they will. Just because other companies in the past have purchased the rights to films and had their partner distribute them does not mean that's what Legendary will do. Toho will likely cut out the middleman and directly approach Warner Bros. or Universal. Legendary themselves probably wouldn't even have any interest in purchasing the film anyway. They're busy enough producing big-budget films as it is and probably don't want to run the risk of Godzilla: Resurgence being confused for their own film. Warner Bros. is reportedly being given first dibs by Toho, meaning that they are being targeted instead of Legendary. Even if Legendary were to acquire and edit the film, the point is that Legendary still wouldn't be the distributor, but Warner Bros. or Universal would.
