I would love to see Ultraman in the Monsterverse but they have to do it right and I would also love to explore the alien side of him like what Shin Ultraman may be doing (which i haven't seen yet but i will try and watch it soon)

I think we’re more likely to see Disney do their own Ultraman.

Ehh, I think even that's pretty unlikely, considering Netflix is still making their own Ultraman film.

I don't think Ultraman fits into the MV at all TBH. There's stuff like Godzilla existing sure, but Ultramen are a WHOLE different subject matter, complete with it's own, super complex lore. Would an Ultraman appearance in the MonsterVerse mean that the MV is canon to the wider Ultraman multiverse? If so, does that mean the other Godzilla continuities are ALSO connected? Do Kaiju who die go to the Monster Graveyard? There's a lot of stuff to address, and I don't think the MonsterVerse could pull it off while juggling its own subject matter.

The real question is whether or not Zone Fighter could fit into the MV.

The Ultras take a lot more to make right than just adapting King Kong or if they could, Gamera into the MV. I personally think Ultraman in general is a very Japanese character, so there's a lot of intricacies you would have to get right when it comes to the heroic positivity of the silver giants. I just wouldn't want to see a bare bones American Ultraman, and TsuPro has officially stated they're determined to make sure Ultraman stays true to the franchise's core.

But we are def going to see a Godzilla meet an Ultraman soon, in some other media, some other version.

In what ways is Ultraman a Japanese character?

That's like asking in what ways are Captain America or Superman American characters...

I mean, it's not like we don't have an entire trio (actually four, really) of Ultra heroes representing the good ole' USA. I could easily see ways to fit Ultras into the MV. Will it happen? I wouldn't put money on it. But it's not like we haven't seen Ultras from the US, and even other countries outside of Japan, before.

Ultraman in the MV should just be him showing up in the final battle of the final film and then flying away without ever explaining who or what he was.

Like OG Ultraman saving Tiga lol.
