Godzilla vs. Kong 2 gets a working title that hints at origin stories for the two titular Titans in the upcoming sequel now in production. The film will serve as the fifth overall installment in Legendary's MonsterVerse franchise and as a direct sequel to 2021's Godzilla vs. Kong. After several delays to its release date due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the most recent MonsterVerse movie released simultaneously in theaters and on HBO Max, raking in a respectable $470 million worldwide. That was more than enough for Warner Bros. to greenlit a sequel with director Adam Wingard returning.

Earlier this year, The Guest star Dan Stevens was brought on board the Godzilla vs. Kong 2 cast as the new human lead. Stevens remains the only actor attached to the sequel, and it is unclear whether or not previous stars Alexander Skarsgård, Millie Bobby Brown, Rebecca Hall, Brian Tyree Henry, and Kyle Chandler will be returning. Late last month, Godzilla vs. Kong 2 began filming in Australia with set videos revealing a beach attack scene. Now, the production start is spelling out more exciting news for the sequel.

While the Godzilla vs. Kong sequel does not yet have an official name, its working title has been revealed. Shared by @KDM_Monsters on Twitter, a set photo of the sequel's clapperboard reveals it is operating with "Origins" as a working title. Check out the photo below:

Godzilla vs. Kong 2 using "Origins" as a working title is obviously a strong indication that the sequel will explore origin stories for the two titular Titans, or possibly for the ancient civilizations that inhabited Hollow Earth many millennia ago. In the film industry, working titles are used temporarily so an untitled film can officially begin the production process. However, high-profile productions, such as Marvel's or even those for the MonsterVerse, often choose working titles that hint at the film's actual plot or themes, knowing die-hard fans are paying close attention.

Since a sequel to Godzilla vs. Kong was confirmed, fans have been wondering what direction the MonsterVerse will head in next, and this working title is one of the first substantial hints. Previous reports claimed that Godzilla vs. Kong 2 was operating under Son of Kong as a working title. At this point, it seems equally likely the sequel could adapt either title, Godzilla vs. Kong: Origins or Godzilla vs. Kong: Son of Kong, both of which suggest a return to Hollow Earth and a deeper exploration of their world. It will be a while until fans know for certain, as Godzilla vs. Kong 2 isn't scheduled to release until March 15, 2024.
