The Apple TV+ original series Monarch: Legacy of Monsters spans generations of the MonsterVerse, from the early 1950s to the aftermath of 2014's Godzilla, which saw Titans battle in San Francisco. One character active in both the extended flashback sequences and scenes set in the present is U.S. Army veteran Lee Shaw, played at different ages by real-life father and son Kurt and Wyatt Russell. The project presented a unique opportunity for the Russells, with the two working closely on their character to build their shared role from the ground up.
