Could Monsterverse Rodan solo movie work?
Rodan have famous in the Godzilla community in recent years, and people have been waiting to see a Rodan solo movie so I made a topic on if Rodan were to have a solo movie will it be popular among the audiences and do big in the box office.

There’s like…a 3.8% chance of it happening, but it could theoretically work.
A Mothra movie would be way more likely, though.

Re: Could Monsterverse Rodan solo movie work?
No. A Rodan solo movie in general could work, that's obviously been proven already, but not with this version of the character. He's already been shown to be a weak, B-list loser.
... although... I guess the story could use that. Make him an underdog (though still a jackass, which is half his problem) who has to redeem himself and win the respect of his fellow Titans. There might be some potential here. Never going to happen, though.

Re: Could Monsterverse Rodan solo movie work?
We’re long overdue for a Rodan solo, period. He only got one shot in his debut, but never again. I’d love to see a second take on the idea, though! Whether it’s Monsterverse related or not!
Reignited... and hopefully less weird this time around.

That is the only other Monster outside of Godzilla at this point that I would pay a theater a ticket for.
Rodan doesn't need to be an top Alpha to have his own film, he has personality (like when he smirked taken out the jets), flaws and weaknesses which can be explored.

Re: Could Monsterverse Rodan solo movie work?
Down the line if I ever become a filmmaker I'd totally pick Rodan before any other kaiju, including Big G. Dude hasn't gotten the respect he deserves for being the second kaiju out the gate after big G to have his solo film. I really don't know how to get into the official business of filmmaking, so I've been attempting to write some Sci-Fi Epics. See where that takes me.
We've spoke on this months ago, give it to a visionary fast-paced director like Zack Snyder (Rodan deserves the religious imagery), bring on some iconic writers, keep his theme from KOTM the same, since it's like the MOS Take-Flight theme on crack, which suits the character. Make the story something like a science fiction/Top-Gun/horror with a tragic misunderstanding of the Rodan(s).

A solo Rodan film should act as a kaiju-version of Top Gun.

I'd be down with it. Rodan's my second favorite kaiju after Godzilla.

It could work, yes, but the studio doesnt have the balls to do it.

Re: Could Monsterverse Rodan solo movie work?
I'd like for there to be a Rodan solo effort. My personal opinion when the G'14 sequel was announced was that Toho should have made some lower-budgeted solo efforts of Mothra and Rodan in the MV in order to introduce them. That's obviously never going to happen, but one could dream. Nonetheless, solo efforts for some of the other Titans would be welcome.

If there was gonna be a Rodan focused outing he NEEDS to fight Megaguirus (Provided Toho gives Legendary permission to use her), considering the Meganulon debuted in the original Rodan

Re: Could Monsterverse Rodan solo movie work?
Yes, it can work, and I would love to see Rodan get his own MonsterVerse movie.

No. If only because there's no financial reason on LP's part to do it.

Re: Could Monsterverse Rodan solo movie work?
One way of doing this could be like the whole Thor-Hulk dynamic like in Thor: Ragnarok having Rodan being in a Kong film.Legion1979 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 18, 2021 6:40 am No. If only because there's no financial reason on LP's part to do it.

I mean yeah, but it's not really much of a Rodan solo movie if he's sharing the spotlight.GodzillaFan1990's wrote: ↑Sat Dec 18, 2021 6:49 am One way of doing this could be like the whole Thor-Hulk dynamic like in Thor: Ragnarok having Rodan being in a Kong film.

Re: Could Monsterverse Rodan solo movie work?
What if the solo film was set in the past? That way Rodan could be shown as the main threat against a civilization that seems completely outmatched, but then, through some kind of means, is able to seal Rodan inside the volcano. That could work, and you don't need Godzilla or Kong as an anchor for the film.
