Monarch Season 2: Wyatt Russell Shares His One Wish for Shaw's Possible Coming Back
Although his character has not yet returned for the next season, Wyatt Russell expresses his great wish for a possible comeback of Lee Shaw in Monarch: Legacy of Monsters Season 2. Russell and his father, Emmy and Golden Globe nominee Kurt Russell, both as Lee Shaw, a former U.S. Army Colonel who shared founding membership in the titular group alongside Keiko Miura and Bill Randa. In the season 1 finale of Monarch, the elder version of the prior character killed himself in order to let Keiko, Cate, and Kentaro flee the world between the Hollow Earth and the surface before the gap closed.
Russells discussed in a recent Variety interview their unique experience sharing the same character in the Monsterverse program. Wyatt Russell did, however, convey his one wish for Shaw's possible comeback—that would mean an opportunity to experience the scene with his father. Kindly review Russell's comment below:
How the Two Russells Might Split the Screen for Monarch Season 2
Although the rest of the cast is eager to return, Kurt Russell's earlier remarks on Monarch: Legacy of Monsters Season 2 were more subdued, implying that Shaw's storyline concluded satisfactorially in season 1 finale. Given the character either killed after falling off the Operation Hourglass car or left alone in the middle of the confrontation between Godzilla and the Ion Dragon in Axis Mundi, justifying Shaw's comeback in the next season would need rather some justification.
Should creator Chris Black find a way to accomplish this, though, it would present a special opportunity for both Russells to share the screen in Monarch: Legacy of Monsters season 2. As shown multiple times in season 1, particularly with regard to Shaw, Axis Mundi often causes time-bending events including Keiko and Lee living much past their years when imprisoned there. Though two copies of a character coexisting in one area have not yet been seen, season 2 could open this avenue for the Monsterverse to investigate in next projects.

Incorporating various well-liked characters into the show, the writers of it have gone all out to replicate the attractiveness and attitude of the MonsterVerse. Viewers want to know what fresh characters the show will feature as well as how it will turn out.
One theory explaining the Russells' likely interactions in Monarch: Legacy of Monsters's second season
If Shaw made it through the events of the season 1 finale, it would make sense for him to have flashbacks of his life, which is typical of fiction, and so see himself interacting with the younger version of himself while considering their mistakes and how to atone in the present. This might therefore also build a bridge for Russell to engage in upcoming Monsterverse episodes for which Apple is allegedly producing other offshoots.
Apple TV+ carries the whole first season of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters for viewing.
