It really seems like they're planning to start shooting soon. We got the first casting news for Godzilla in January 2013 and the movie started shooting that March.
The sequel was originally slated to open on June 8, 2018 until Paramount barged in on that date with Transformers 6 and WB wisely chose to move Godzilla: King of Monsters. Maybe they just didn't experience any delay in their pre-production timeline even with the postponed release date (and change in directors) and this is just Legendary and WB moving on their original track, producing a movie that could be done in time to open in summer 2018 but just waiting until the following March to release it.
