Godzilla (Japanese: ゴジラ, Hepburn: Gojira, /ɡɒdˈzɪlə/; [ɡoꜜdʑiɾa] ) is a fictional monster, or kaiju, and one of the protagonists of Legendary Pictures' Monsterverse media franchise and based on Toho Co., Ltd.'s character of the same name.
The character first appeared in Godzilla (2014), directed by Gareth Edwards. This incarnation of Godzilla is depicted as the sole survivor of a prehistoric superspecies, theorized by Ishirō Serizawa, acting as a force of nature that maintains balance. The character was initially designed by Matt Allsopp, modeled after the Toho version.[12] It is the third incarnation of Godzilla to be created by an American studio and U.S. media, after Hanna-Barbera's 1978 animated series Godzilla and TriStar Pictures' 1998 film Godzilla, IDW's Godzilla comic seres, and overall the tenth onscreen incarnation of the iconic character.[13]
