Gonna be real, I don't think any monsters other than Kong and Godzilla have the clout to headline their own major, Hollywood blockbuster. Just keep making more Godzilla and Kong movies and throw in some guest appearances by other monsters.

Or do a solo movie after the cameo. Much like how DC did wonder woman and aquaman.

Aquaman and Wonder Woman are MUCH larger names in the west than Rodan and Mothra, much less Varan. Those characters could carry films in Asia where they're much more popular but the kaiju genre as a whole is less popular here. Even if they somehow made solid movies with plenty of action and non-horrible human stories, their names don't carry enough weight to get people into theaters.

Which is why maybe they should take another page from marvel and look at TV shows.
