So, this is it, will American Godzilla ever get a solo movie? Or he needs to be paired with Kong? Also, will we ever see a Godzilla film reach a billion dollars?

Is this the last installment in monsterverse? And why are you clamoring for a movie without kong? You don't want symbolic BIPOC representation in Kaiju genre?

>will American Godzilla ever get a solo movie?
he already got two. they were both extremely mid. Kong works because Kong can work as a psuedo protagonist without needing to shove in as many human perspectives because he is monke and can emote and have expressions unlike the lizard

Godzilla x Kong was mid as well. The best Monsterverse movie was Godzilla vs Kong. Every other one has been very half-baked.

if they are aping Godzilla vs Space Godzilla its a weird choice, that movie came off as "well were out of ideas maybe we should just end it with the next one"

This. Kong is the compromise, and actually gets normie asses in seats. Toho can get away with their super cereal Godzilla movies because their movies cost probably what the American productions spend on catering, thus they can cater to a fairly niche audience.
The Monsterverse movies on the other hand need as many asses in seats as possible internationally, and scientists huddled around a table isn’t going to do that.
The Planet of the Apes movies proved that you can make a movie carried largely by a digital ape work for general audiences, so you can have a charismatic main character running around and have it still be a monster. Godzilla emoting the way Kong does would just come off as hokey, and rob him a lot of his “force of nature” presence.

Between GXK making significantly more than Godzilla KOTM(despite being a covid release with same day streaming), and Toyo’s rules for portraying Godzilla, it makes Godzilla solos a less viable prospect. You can beat the shit out of Kong, have him get humiliated, give him robot parts, because no one can tell them no. You make Godzilla bite into a human and Toho gets upset if you don’t show him spitting him out or flinging him because Godzilla cannot eat people.(yes even in Minus One he doesn’t swallow anyone in the opening scene)

Yes anon I know, because like I said, it’s a Toho rule.
