I'd use the exact same format and structure as PACIFIC RIM, i.e. multiple Ultramen and defence teams (like the Jaegers and their teams) active in different areas of the world, and coming together in the face of a greater crisis/more concentrated monster attacks. Like PACIFIC RIM, it wouldn't be an origin story, but would throw the viewer into the world probably around five or ten years after the Ultras (and monsters) arrived. The featured Ultras would be Ultraman, Seven, Jack, Ace, and Taro (and their respective host characters and defence teams - the Science Patrol in Japan, the Ultra Guard in North America, etc.), and monsters would likely be iconic/popular ones like Red King, Gomora, and Zetton (in the Slattern "big bad" role). Just imagine classic Ultra foes rendered in PACIFIC RIM-level CGI - I think it would be incredible. The monsters would be revealed to all be tools of the Baltan-Seijin, hovering undetected above Earth's atmosphere (like the inter-dimensional Precursors in PACIFIC RIM). I think I'd title it EARTH DEFENCE FORCE, in homage to the Japanese title of THE MYSTERIANS... and because it works well, I think.
Yeah, I've given this a lot of thought. I know I've basically just inserted Ultraman lore into PACIFIC RIM, but it would honestly work so well.
