In classic Godzilla lore, humanity builds MechaGodzilla as a means to combat the OG Godzilla. So, we can expect the last, struggling remnants of humanity relying on MechaGodzilla as a last hope of sorts to reclaim Earth from the King of all Kaiju.
Monster Planet is currently screening in Japanese theaters; it hits Netflix worldwide later this year. Godzilla: The City Mechanized for the Final Battle hits Japanese theaters in May, 2018.
Stateside, the next live-action Godzilla film, Godzilla: King of The Monsters, crashes into theaters in March, 2019.
