I don't think Toho's going to use Rodan, Mothra or King Ghidorah in the first movie, especially since Legendary's already using those licenses for a film that would probably be far easier to market stateside then one they make.

Anguirus is the least obscure monster I could see them using, and honestly I think the first movie is going to be a solo Godzilla outing, since G2000 was....lukewarm in reception in Japan.

Besides that, they'll probably be playing it safe after the catastrophe that was Final Wars' box-office returns, so a solo outing for Godzilla's return to Toho seems likely. I mean, yeah the new American film did really well, but Final Wars leaves a bad taste in the mouth for how successful a traditional Toho-style Godzilla movie will be in today's market (ie: not at all).

Even if they go the serious route, American audiences are still going to be snortling at the use of suits regardless; especially the Michael Bay-fostered kids of today's culture. Fans may not, but the general public will.

Well, if it comes Stateside, at least. :p
