Finally, months later, they're back with new teases on Twitter, some of which were revealed during a Godzilla panel at LA Comic Con in October. What's interesting about these new teases, however, is that they could be perceived as subtle references to past Toho movies, and are thus potentially evidence of WB bringing old Godzilla events into canon.
For instance, Monarch's tweet Godzilla heading to the last known location of a Japanese land mass that sunk into the ocean is referencing the movie Submersion of Japan (aka Tidal Waves in the United States), a disaster movie about a series of geological phenomena leading to Japan sinking. Then, Monarch's tweet about Godzilla disappearing and then reappearing in the Sea of Okhotsk is certainly a nod to the 1991 movie, Godzilla vs King Ghidorah, which makes reference to a time Godzilla defeated King Ghidorah in the Sea of Okhotsk, where King Ghidorah had remained for 200 years.
Considering that WB is only now getting back on track with using Monarch Sciences to promote Godzilla: King of the Monsters, there may be plenty of more opportunities for them to reference and tease old Toho movies, while also possibly bringing them closer to the events of the MonsterVerse. Of course, they don't need to explain how everything could potentially exist in the same universe, but it's not like having a multiverse is too far-fetched.

And with four Titans to cram into this apocalyptic story, expect a faster pace this time around. “I think Gareth [Edwards] had a lot of fun playing cat-and-mouse and I love the slow-build he created,” continues Dougherty. “But we definitely take the gloves off for this film. No holding back.”
and some are believing that the monster emerging from the mountain is none other than Anglius (or Anguirus, if that is your preference).
