In an interview with ScreenRant‘s Brandon Zachary on the present’s pink carpet premiere, Joe Tippett, who performs Tim, a devoted workplace employee throughout the secretive Monarch group, referred to as introducing a brand new monster, “a bet.”
Joe Tippet: We’re introducing a brand new monster. For one thing like this, that is a bet. Both individuals are gonna find it irresistible, or they’re gonna kill us. However I believe individuals are gonna love this monster, and I am excited for everybody to get to see it. After which possibly we’ll be speaking about, “Is it Kong, is it Godzilla, or is there a brand new King or Queen [Titan]?”
Govt producer and author of the Apple TV+ sequence, Joby Harold, additionally shared his pleasure for Titan X. And whereas it is not recognized but what it is able to, the chances are limitless, and so is the joy that comes with bringing a brand new monster into the fold.
Joby Harold: I believe [we’re most excited for fans to see] Titan X. We have an enormous, unhealthy new Titan on the board that we have by no means met earlier than. We do not know the principles, do not know the language, do not know what it is able to, don’t understand how highly effective it’s, do not know what secrets and techniques it holds. Any time you get to introduce a Titan into this world, this monsterverse, it is not a small factor, so I believe I am most excited for the viewers to get to satisfy Titan X.
Whereas a lot of what is to come back within the monsterverse needs to be saved below wraps — for now — producer Tory Tunnel informed ScreenRant there can be “surprises” embedded into each episode.

Monarch season 1 got here to an finish with Cate [Anna Sawai], Could [Kiersey Clemons], and Keiko [Mari Yamamoto] escaping a time-distorted pocket throughout the Hole Earth, whereas Lee [ Kurt Russell in the present, Wyatt Russell in the past] appeared to sacrifice himself within the course of. After they lastly returned to the floor, they found that two years had handed within the exterior world — regardless of experiencing solely a matter of days under.
Their reemergence introduced them to Cranium Island, the place Apex Cybernetics appears to be conducting analysis operations. This growth strongly means that Kong will play a major position within the sequence shifting ahead, notably as Titan X begins advancing towards his island residence. Kong might also function the grounded hyperlink that shifts the narrative towards a extra Titan-focused storyline.
And whereas we’ll have to attend and see simply how Titan X influences the second season, if season 1 was centered on the characters, its clear season 2 can be all in regards to the monsters, with Anna Sawai telling SR that that is what makes this season so “particular.”
Anna Sawai: What’s particular about this season is that we get to grasp the monsters’ story, and that is the place individuals will have the ability to leap in. The monsters have their very own story, and after we discover out, it is going to be like, “Oh, wow, okay, I am rooting for them.”
