Godzilla : King of the Monstersdirector Mike Dougherty has supply an explanation on why Ford and Elle Brody were n’t in the sequel . He decide that with the novel installment , that they should “ shift it to the egghead ” [ viaSlashFilm ] . Apparently , it was Dougherty ’s opinion that the more interesting characters inGodzillawere Ken Watanabe ’s Dr. Serizawa and the Monarch scientists . Dougherty felt it was more “ complicated and nuanced ” to make the scientists the hero , rather than the soldier , the latter of which being far more common in films on the scurf ofKing of the Monsters .
Dougherty has also mention that Taylor - Johnson and Olsen ’s characters are likely “ off the gridiron ” and far off from monsters at this point . Regardless of where they are now , it certainly would have been hard to craft a story where either of them was relevant again . The only way that would work would be if Ford was stationed atMonarchas a soldier , but that would go counter to his fictional character ’s story . Ford never had an interest in the lusus naturae , so it ’s surd to imagine him wanting to get involved with the Titans . Without Ford at Monarch , there would be no other reason for them to be around inKing of the Monsters . It would have been an left coincidence if once again they got catch in a Titan ’s violent disorder .
