Mothra was one of the three Titans to appear alongside Godzilla in the third MonsterVerse installment . The passive Titan take Godzilla ’s side in the final battle with the movie ’s principal antagonist , Ghidorah . While the moving-picture show putRodan on the side of the baddie , King of the Monstersmaintained Mothra ’s heroic reputationand even managed to contain a fundamental part of her backstory from Toho ’s movies : the Twin Fairies .

During the scene where Zhang ’s primary quality in the pic , Dr. Chen , explains her family ’s story , a photo record two of her relatives kneeling down at an archeological site . The word picture is labeled " Infant Island , 1961 " . Not only is this is an Easter testicle to 1961’sMothra , it ’s also confirmation that Mothra ’s home exists in the MonsterVerse . Infant Island is one of Toho ’s most important original placement . It precedes Godzilla ’s plate , Monster Island , by a few age . AfterMothra , Infant Island was reused as a setting for several more movies , includingMothra vs. Godzilla , Ebirah , Horror of the Deep , Ghidorah , the Three - Headed Monster , andGodzilla vs. King Ghidorah .
This space was first shown inMothrawhen scientists jaunt there and came across the brute , the Twin Fairies , and a federation of tribes that worshiped her . It was learned in the movie that Mothra is Infant Island ’s self - appointed guardian . Since theMonsterVerse ’s Mothra still has her Twin Fairies , it stands to cause that her connexion to Infant Island is present as well . If she ’s its shielder , that could be why Dr. Chen ’s relatives were there in the first place .
There ’s a chance that Infant Island could be more than just an Easter egg in succeeding MonsterVerse movies . TheGodzilla : King of the Monsterscreditsincluded a pic of a giant egg and hinted that it belong to Mothra . The newspaper clipping does n’t mention where the egg is , but it would make good sense for Mothra to leave it on Infant Island .

To ensure that she ’s reborn later , Mothra commonly does put an nut after leave behind her cocoon . This ball , which may be on Infant Island , could be a plot of ground distributor point in the time to come . The Mothra egg at the beginning of the movie was 10,0000 years sure-enough , so there ’s no apprisal how long it will take to hatch , but if Godzilla require help inGodzilla vs. Kong , Mothra may return sooner rather than after .
