While the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the DCU tend to be the biggest topics of conversation among shared universes, Warner Bros. and Legendary Entertainment have had a pretty successful run with their MonsterVerse. The franchise updates two iconic movie monsters, Godzilla and King Kong, and has created its own mythology recurring characters, as well as long-form plot developments. Different directors have come in and put their stamp on these characters, and audiences have embraced this franchise.
