Elizabeth Olsen’s Godzilla Character Never Appeared In Another MonsterVerse Movie
The Brodys have yet to return to the MonsterVerse
On the flipside , Ford ’s married woman Elle Brody ( Elizabeth Olsen ) was a nurse , so viewers got a soil - degree thought of the destruction being wrought by the titans . Sadly , Olsen did n’t get much to do inGodzilla , outside of awestricken reaction shots , with Elle , Ford and their son Sam ( Carson Bolde ) reuniting duringGodzilla 2014’sending .

In Godzilla: King of the Monsters, crypto-zoological agency Monarch faces off against a battery of god-sized monsters known as the Titians. Among these creatures is the mighty Godzilla, who collides with Mothra, Rodan, and his ultimate nemesis, the three-headed King Ghidorah.
Ford was a bland protagonist , while the seismic disturbance death of his father Joseph ( Bryan Cranston ) was cited as a cock-a-hoop job duringGodzilla’sreviews . Joseph was practically the lead during the moving picture ’s first act , with the thespian himself having just wind up the acclaimedBreaking Bad .
lagger for the movie made it appear Cranston had a much bigger persona , with the playing bring genuine emotion to the part . Once Joseph is killed off , neither Ford nor Elle felt like engaging characters . This is partly why neither Taylor - Johnson nor Olsen returned for future Godzilla movies - at least , not yet .

In Godzilla : King of the Monsters , crypto - zoological agency Monarch front off against a battery of god - sized fiend known as the Titians . Among these tool is the mighty Godzilla , who collides with Mothra , Rodan , and his ultimate nemesis , the three - head King Ghidorah .
It almost felt like a give the Brodys would n’t retrovert for 2019’sGodzilla : King of the Monsters , with the continuation shift focus to Monarch rather . During an audience withSlashFilm , director Michael Dougherty revealed there wasnevera program to bring the Brodys back , as he feel their write up had been told . It was more exciting to follow scientists alternatively of soldier .
As much as I enjoyed the adventure that he had in the first plastic film , to me the more interesting role were Serizawa and Graham and the Monarch scientist work behind the curtain . I ’d much rather be the scientists who get to examine the animal versus the soldier who has to fight them . I call up it was more complicated and nuanced to explore scientist as heroes versus yet another blockbuster that focuses on soldiers or superheroes . So I really wanted to shift it to the eggheads going on this adventure together . I also finger like after the events of the first film , chances are Aaron Taylor - Johnson and Elizabeth Olsen got off the control grid and lived in a wilderness as far away from lusus naturae as possible and there was no way you could convince them to number back for another dangerous undertaking .
Dougherty makes a logical point about the Brody kindred followingGodzilla . Ford expend the entire movie urgently trying to get back to his family but getting sucked into the fight against the kaijus . In the finale , he blows up a MUTO nest and scantily head for the hills with his life following the last showdown between Godzilla and the MUTOs .
Having lose both parents to the kaiju mess and barely wee-wee it back to his kinsfolk in one piece , it makes signified Ford would take Elle and Sam and retire into the " wild " to live a peaceful sprightliness . Plus , there ’s short intellect he would personally be called back to the conflict .
While the Brodys are n’t mentioned straight off in anyMonsterVerse motion picture follow - ups , inKing of the Monsters , there is a battleship named the USS Brody . This was an honor given to Ford following his actions in San Francisco ( viaX / Twitter ) andthis support Brody was viewed as a hero in the backwash of the MUTO attack .
Will Elizabeth Olsen & Aaron Taylor-Johnson Ever Return To The MonsterVerse?
What does the future hold for the Brody family?
The MonsterVerse movies have go on from the Brodys , and there ’s little sign they will return ; this might be mutual for the actor too . During a 2023Varietychat with Taylor - Johnson , the asterisk revealed that despite appearances inGodzillaandAvengers : Age of Ultron , he " … did n’t really care for them " and decide to focus on his mob instead . Of of course , he ’s since returned to big budget projects likeBullet Trainor 2024’sKraven the Hunter , though it would probably take some convincing to get him back for aGodzillasequel .
A year after star as husband and wife inGodzilla , Taylor - Johnson and Olsen would play comrade and sister inAvengers : Age of Ultron .
Elizabeth Olsen has n’t commented negatively on herGodzillaappearance but noted in 2023 that after so many years in the MCU , she was ready to take a break and focus on smaller projects ( viaVariety ) . This could intend direct clear of blockbusters for a piffling while , which would find out aGodzilla(or MonsterVerse ) sashay in the near future . Stranger thing have happened , butit does n’t await like the Brodys will make a triumphant MonsterVerse return anytime soon .
