Who wants Zilla for DLC? Or the next game? Or any new game? Anything?

If the upcoming Godzilla game (Godzilla The Game, Godzilla Vs., whatever you want to call it) has DLC characters, who else would want to see Zilla and his beautiful design in those glorious HD graphics? I've also read that there could be a sequel to the game, so if not DLC for this game, how about the next game?

Easy Ben. This has been the case the whole time so there's no need to explode about it now.

The fact is the creature from Godzilla '98 and Godzilla: The Series today, is legally, "Godzilla". (So if fans still wish to call it GINO, they have their reasons intact.) Other fans who try to defend the movie with "It's not really Godzilla, it's Zilla," is wrong. It's still Godzilla... but "In Name Only" as most agree.

The creature in Godzilla: Final Wars, IDW's Godzilla Rulers of Earth and the mobile game is "Zilla" since the rebranding didn't go into effect until 2004.

Am I the only one who wants Kumonga for the game? People could say he's just a spider but Godzilla's second most popular kaiju is a giant moth. While we're at it throw in some kamacarus. More variety, less humanoid characters orwhy not throw in a mammal, King Seesar

GMAN2887 - You know, I was not aware of that bit of legal information? I find that to be very interesting. Not that I want such a thing, but I wonder if TRISTAR would be able to create another Godzilla film in the same vein as Godzilla '98? This is exceedingly compelling! :)

Something Real,
The option for Sony/Tristar to make another Godzilla film expired in 2003. They only own television and home video rights for the '98 movie in perpetuity. They also own the North American home video and television rights for the Heisei movies and Millennium films. They'll have the option to re-new those rights around 2022, give or take a couple years. (Sans The Return of Godzilla and Godzilla vs. Biollante.)

So with their option to make another film with the title or character "Godzilla" long expired, and Toho's current deal with Legendary Pictures in full swing, Sony has no more rights to make a new Godzilla movie than you or I do.

EDIT: Correction and more specifics. Sony's television and home video rights for Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah and Godzilla and Mothra: The Battle for Earth end in 2019. The rest of the Heisei and Millennium movies they own North American distribution rights to end 2023-2025.
