Adam Wingard has apparently said that he considers Kong the true main star of the Monsterverse because of him being more human-like than Godzilla and more easy to convey those human emotions, which I guess is pretty obvious given that he's positioned him as the lead monster in both of his films. I'd imagine that we probably will have another Kong/Godzilla team-up in the next one (if it happens) since Godzilla fighting Kong and then Godzilla teaming up with Kong were the two big draws of these last two, but hopefully if for no other reason than to mix things up a bit he might want to focus on Godzilla primarily in the next one. I personally was ok with the amount of Godzilla we got in this one, but he absolutely played second fiddle to Kong, and if he were to go that route again for a third time I think that might just be pushing it a bit too much.
As for whether or not Legendary would be ok going full 70's Showa; I think they already have!
At this point I think any semblance of the reality that G'14 introduced has well and truly gone out the window (outside of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters), so I'm sure with GxK making as much money as it is, they'll be cool with getting as nutty in another film as Wingard wants them to.

I fully agree. It's time to expand the Monsterverse in all directions! Rodan trilogy! Varan standalone! War of the Gangantuas Parts 1 and 2! Destroy All Monsters mega-crossover! Final Monsterverse Wars! With an Oscar win and now the biggest opening of the year, the King of the Monsters is back, baybeh!
