For the sequels in MonsterVerse, Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019) and Godzilla vs. Kong (2021), Bear McCreary and Tom Holkenborg respectively composed the film scores for the counterparts.[13][14] While McCreary used samples from Desplat's score in Godzilla, and had also incorporated Akira Ifukube's Godzilla themes,[15][16] Holkenborg produced new themes for Godzilla vs. Kong, disregarding Ifukube's and Desplat's themes.[17]
