MonsterVerse

MonsterVerse is a shared American media franchise and cinematic universe created by Legendary Pictures, centered on the appearance and interaction of enormous Titans. The series treats these ancient, planet-spanning creatures as part of Earth’s natural history and ecosystems, with a focus on how humanity studies, coordinates with, and sometimes battles these beings. A covert research organization named Monarch serves as the throughline for exploration of Titans, their origins, and their impact on world events.
