Godzilla: King of the Monsters is the third installment of the MonsterVerse of Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros., and that includes the American re-launch of Godzilla, released in 2014, and Kong: The Skull Island, tape that arrived in 2017.

According to Stacy Perskie, one of the Mexican producers participating in this feature film, "scoutings" were made in Guatemala before in Mexico; however, the architectural beauty of the capital and the experience that people in this country have in working on these large productions, was more satisfactory.

"It was not difficult to convince them that the Mexican capital was the option since many of the producers did not know Mexico City and were shocked by its architectural beauty."

During the press conference, Alex Garcia, producer of Legendary Pictures, said:

"We did a thorough search to find the perfect environment for a key scene in the plot of the film and found everything we needed in Mexico City. The vitality that the director, Michael Dougherty sought, Mexico also has some of the most enthusiastic fans of 'Godzilla' around the world."

Previous installments: Godzilla, by Gareth Edwards, raised 529.1 million dollars worldwide (with a box office of 152.5 million in Asia only), and Kong: Skull Island, by Jordan Vogt-Roberts, recorded a total box office of 566.7 million dollars worldwide, with 245.5 million from Asia alone.

Mexico is the second-largest market for the distribution of Hollywood cinema and the 24th James Bond film was also filmed in the Mexican capital.
