It's a massive stretch but hear me out...

So before The New Empire. Cave art of Godzilla and Shimo was seen in The Hunted was shown in Fortnite which lead to Shimo in The New Empire.

Apparently there's a Godzilla Easter egg involving this plant.

What if that plant is referring to Biollante? What if the theories and speculation turns out true that Jia becomes Biollante in the next film?

They say the next film will be darker and also Godzilla focus.

Either that or maybe hinting to Amhuluk as the next main villain since he's a plant based lifeform like Biollante.

Chances are this could all be just a coincidence and stretch like I said but it's something to consider.

Edit: It was Call of Duty, not Fortnite. my bad lol.
